Losing it[1]. Get yours at bighugelabs.com/flickr

I'm Les. My main camera is a Canon EOS 5D Mk II, with the nifty Canon 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM as my "walk around" lens, a Sigma 12-24mm f/4.5-5.6 beast for the wider view, a Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 for getting up close, an ever so slightly large Sigma 150-500mm telephoto for getting up really close, a sweet little Canon 50mm f/1.8 lens, which is remarkably good kit for the price, and a lovely Canon 100mm f/2.8 macro beast, which is a very nice bit of glass indeed. Just for fun, I occasionally fit my Lensbaby Composer. Aaaaaaand, for even more fun, I treated my 5D to a Sigma 8mm fisheye lens. On the full-frame sensor, this produces the classic full circle fisheye image, which is something I like a lot. Given the size of the images, I can crop down to produce some nice wide images if the circle doesn't suit the subject.

Before that, I used a Canon EOS 30D with a 17-85MM IS USM lens, a Sigma 70-300mm zoom, which I sometimes use with the 5D, and a Sigma 10-20mm wide angle beastie.

I've also used a few compacts and camera phones - mostly the iPhone 4S lately.

When I want something a bit more flexible than my iPhone, but carrying a DSLR isn't practical, I use my Olympus E-P1, which is a seriously sweet bit of kit, especially when coupled with the 17mm f/2.8 pancake lens.

These are just a selection of my pictures, many more of them live on my own website, Losing it[1]. There are also odd screenshots and other bits and pieces here, as I used to use Flickr as a convenient way to add images to my website.

My favourite software for photo tweaking is Lightroom 3, with occasional fiddling with Photoshop and iPhoto. I'm also having a play with Aperture.
