Your pics are excellent. You are not a lazy photographer, you can see from the quality of your work that you have put a lot of effort in. Personally, I’d love to see more pics and camera talk.

Your whole site is amongst the best I’ve seen. Keep up the good work and Merry Christmas to you both and Happy New Year!

I’m new to sailing and enjoy your blog. I thought your photographs were excellent. You are very modest.

Although I’m a keen sailor, I stumbled across your website through a link from a photography site. I’ve always wondered what camera body & lenses you normally use? Full frame dslr & wide aperture lenses would be my guess… Also, what software do you normally use to edit your shots? From one of the shots taken at your course (above), it looks like Aperture 3 running on MacBook Pros was popular?

I’m sure the answers to these questions may not interest everyone, but as a keen amateur photographer I sure would be!

Cheers.

You are correct, a full frame camera (Canon 5D) with a selection of zooms from 17mm to 400mm. The shots in the show are pretty evenly spread between focal lengths, all the way from the wide end to 400mm. One of the things I was trying to do in the workshop was work more at the wide end, which is, at least for me, a harder place to be than the long. I use Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop to handle my photos.

I know what you mean. Phyllis has definitely noticed the difference between hiking with a camera, the norm these days, and without.
