In general, I don't believe equipment owned is essential to obtaining memorable photographs. However for much of my work, especially wildlife, equipment does provide an advantage. For that reason and because I am often asked about my choice of equipment, I list it here.

I am currently using a Canon 1D Mark III DSLR for my photography. The camera is capable of high  capture rates and very fast autofocus. In the field this is backed up by a Canon30D

Lens complement includes:

• Canon 17-35mm f/2.8 L Lens
• Canon 24-105mm f/4.0 Image Stabilized L Lens
• Canon 20mm f/2.8 L lens
• Canon 100mm-400mm f4.0-f/5.6 USM Image Stabilized L Lens
• Canon 600mm f/4.0 Image Stabilized L Lens USM
• Canon 100mm Macro
• Canon 1.4x Extender
• Canon 2x Extender

I use a Wimberly head to mount my 600mm lens to a Bogen tripod. I consider the Wimberly an indispensable accessory for this big lens, especially for photographing birds in flight.
