| I've enjoyed being an avid photography since my late
teenage years. I've always been using Canon equipment, and have found it
to be very reliable and produce great images.
My current 35mm gear is as follows:
- Canon A2
- Zoom lenses
 | 28-105 f/4 (Canon) |
| 70-200 f 2.8 (fixed) Canon EF L (This lens is unbelievable. I
used it exclusively on safari) |
| 2x extender, which renders my 70-200 lens at f 5.6, 140-400 |
Film used
| Fuji Velvia, ISO 50...absolutely the best slide film out there.
I've enlarged prints from this film to 20x30 with no noticeable
graininess. |
| Fuji Provia, ISO 100 and 400 (for wildlife) |
For my Africa 2003 trip, I bought a digital camera. Upon return, I
decided to embrace digital and purchase a scanner (for my 35 mm
negatives and slides) and a photo-quality printer. My gear for digital,
and my scanner and printer is:
- Canon Powershot G2 camera with 3 compact flash cards: 32, 128 and
256 mb
- Canon S9000 photo-quality printer
- Canon CanoScan FS4000US film scanner
- I use Adobe PhotoShop 5.0 Limited Edition for controlling the
scanning process and for some slight image retouching. I'm evaluating
a package for scanning that comes highly recommended -
VueScan.
My process for getting 35 mm slide or negative images on the web site
is as follows:
- Scan the image (typically at a resolution of 800 dpi)
- Save it in PhotoShop as a JPEG file, at image quality of "5" (out
of 10), which produces a much smaller file
- Put the image in the web site using MS FrontPage
