Its in the process of creating and failing that we learn.  Its how both we, and our art evolve.  Because we are human, and we are constantly a work in progress, it makes sense that our art will be too.

My message to you is that Perfection Is A Lie.

You may be curious about the gear I shoot with so lets look in the camera bag!

First the bag itself - I use the F-Stop Kashmir backpack.  It was specifically designed for women, and I backed the original project on Kickstarter and got one of the first batch made.

Camera Gear:

I shoot Canon and my main body is the 7D mk ii (also have the original 7D as a backup)

Lenses:

17-55 F 2.8 IS
24-70 F2.8 IS ii
10-22 UWA
70-200  F4.0 IS L

50mm F1.8
100mm F2.8 IS L Macro

Lensbaby Velvet 56

Manfrotto Tripod Legs with Acratech Head

Computer with two Dell IPS Ultrasharp monitors, a NAS for storage and a Wacom Intuous Graphics tablet for editing.

Other accessories are Lee Filters for landscapes, remote wireless trigger, and my studio gear, which I will cover in another post.

Note that I originally started out with a Canon S3IS point and shoot, then went to a Canon 40D and then on to the 7D and the 7D mk ii.  My next intended body upgrade will be to full frame, but not for a while yet!

My Photography Journey  - a summary of all the different genres of photography I have tried as part of my development as a photographer and artist

Got a splendid haul of red currants in the garden this year and what better way to showcase them than with a gorgeous tarnished silver jug on a clean white background?
