A little about my equipment

People ask what camera gear I use, and when I think about it, there is a lot that goes into taking a photo. Here's a list of everything I use:
Manfrotto Tripod - a must for the sunrise and sunsets
Canon 30D camera body - camera's are so good now, you can get great photos on a basic camera

Canon 100mm Macro Lens - my favo...rite lens, it opens up a whole new world of photography
Sigma 18mm-200mm Zoom Lens - this is my standard lens for everyday shooting
Sigma 10mm-20mm Zoom Lens - an extreme wide angle lens, great for interiors and landscapes

Once I've taken the photo, now I need software to process the image. This is a list of the software I use:
Adobe Lightroom3 - a great powerful program, easy to use and can do almost every kind of editing you would require
Adobe Elements 8 - for the rest of the editing that Lightroom can't do
Photomatix - this is a fantastic program, it creates HDR photos. This is the future of photography, check out www.stuckincustoms.com for great examples.

Lastly, I use an Epson R1800 printer, a great semi-pro printer that can do a little bit of everything.
That's everything from start to finish!
