Has fun with photos. That is, I experiment. I'm readily influenced by the other great photos I see on Flickr!
Digital has transformed photography for me. The instant feedback is marvelous. I take a lot more photos than I ever post and it's still a bit random. I haven't found a niche or a style that I'd say is me - it's a little bit of everything. Landscape and macro are probably what I take most, portraiture is still a bit daunting. I like to take my time setting things up, as my girlfriend would be the first to tell you!
Post processing is as much a part of my work as picking the shot, I'm not one of those that wants it "out of the camera". I just like to make the best of what I get.
I've a selection of kit which includes:
Canon EOS 7D
Canon EOS 350D
Canon EOS 650 (hardly used these days)
10-22mm EFS
24-105mm F4 L
24mm F2.8 EF
50mm F1.8 MkI EF
60mm F2.8 EFS (macro)
100-400mm F4-5.6L
430EX flash

Creativity+ Timothy K Hamilton says:
"It's hard to believe that Matt doesn't have any testimonials yet. Take a look at his landscapes, travel photo and macros, and you will find artistry in composition, point of view, and approach. Matt is very selective about what he uploads, and still allows us to see the detail in the original size. If you just plain like innovative and quality photography, just try any of his sets as a slideshow for a real treat !!"
