Pia's birdseye view's photostream
|
I'm a birder, or rather; a bird-photographer-wannabee...
My main equipment is a Canon 20D with a 300/4,0LisUsm-lens, and Hummingbirds are always my main target! Having said that, you'll see that I'm deep into butterflies and moths as well.
I also have a Canon 350D with a 17-55mm lens that I sometimes bother to get out of the camera bag to take what I call "Social photos". That means almost anything that doesn't feature a bird.
As time has passed since I started this site, new equipment has been added. The 20D and 350D are now put to half-rest, reduced to backup and social cameras. Now working as A-unit is a 40D, mounted with the old faithful 300/4,0.
As my Moth Fever has reached new hights I bought a 60 mm macro, mounted on a 400D. I tend to use its inbuilt flash when documenting my UV-lamp visitors.
Photos taken before the digital era (that started in April 2004) has been scanned from negatives (REALLY grainy) and slides with a Nikon Coolscan 4000.
I started posting on Flickr April 18 2007.

"Pia told a lie in her profile she said she is a wannabee photographer.
That's not true she is a great photographer and birder. She is also one of life's great enthusiasts always ready to help and give encouragement. This is a great big thank you from Keith."3rd June, 2007
