solitude48's photostream

I have been into photography since 2004 with my first Canon Rebel. Went to the 20D and now 40D. Most used lenses are the 17-40 L, 24-70 L, 70-200 F4 IS, and 100 mm Macro all from Canon. I also have the 100-400 L IS. I use it less these days as I have a 1.4 and 2.0 multiplier for the 70-200 which works out well. I often use a 25 mm extension tube with the 70-200 to get a macro shot...a favorite technique of mine.

For tripod I shoot off a Manfrotto 3021 pro.

I shoot mostly nature/landscape/wildlife because of my love for the outdoors. I have fallen completely in love with the Utah and other southwest desert. All of my bird and animal shots are shot in the wild. I shoot everything in RAW and use Photomatix and Photoshop to develop the images.

I also am very interested in developing my skills in black and white, street and the more artistic aspects of photography including furthering my creative use of Photoshop and just upgraded to CS4.
