MY GEAR

Tamron 70-200mm

A great lens, and once my most-used, until I purchased the Tamron 100-400mm in early 2020. Oddly enough, it's now one of my least used lenses as, if I'm going to carry one of my longer lenses, it will be the 100-400mm.

Tamron 15-30mm

I bought this lens primarily for astrophotography; the combination of its wide field of view and maximum aperture of f/2.8 make it great for capturing landscapes with the night sky.

Canon 80D

The second camera I owned, the 80D is a great intermediate camera. It may be a crop sensor but that doesn't mean it's not capable; some of my favorite images were captured using this body. I've linked to the 90D as that's the current equivalent model.

Vello ShutterBoss Version II

This wired remote shutter release and intervalometer combo is simple yet great. Durable build, and an on/off button that helps prevent the unit from accidentally draining the batteries when it's packed away in your bag.

Garmin InReach

Not directly related to photography, of course, but I never leave this behind if I'm going into an area without cell coverage. Being able to provide my partner with remote tracking gives her peace of mind, as well.

Mindshift Rotation 180 Pro Backpack

The second camera I owned, the 80D is a great intermediate camera. It may be a crop sensor but that doesn't mean it's not capable; some of my favorite images were captured using this body. I've linked to the 90D as that's the current equivalent model.

Lee Filters Kit

I don't use these filters very often but I always carry them with me when I'm going to be near water, or there's a possibility that I may want a longer exposure of clouds, etc. Good quality, w/a fairly neutral color cast (a bit blue). I use their Big Stopper, Little Stopper, and Graduated ND.

Rode VideoMicro

A great microphone for those rare occasions I'm away from other people and feel comfortable enough to talk on camera... also good for just capturing the ambient sounds of nature.

Rode Wireless GO

My wireless alternative to the VideoMicro, the Wireless GO is great for capturing me clearly when I'm further away from my camera, or when I want to have the freedom to move around without having to worry about my voice fading in and out in the recording.
