Wild bird and Street photography.

Photography is a rewarding hobby that I enjoy. I find that being outdoors and interested in nature is good for the soul and combining the two interests is a somewhat magical experience. 

As for gear, for a long time I used a Canon 80D and EF 400mm f5.6L lens for bird photography. In addition, for low light, under the canopy birding, I used a Canon 200D with an EF 300mm f4L IS lens, a combo' that weighed only 1.70Kgs and worked well for me. In September 2019 I acquired a 400mm f4 DOII lens. It is sharp at f4! What more could I ask for? I now use the DOII with a Canon 90D that I bought in March 2021.

For street photography it is either the Fuji X100F, with it's silent leaf shutter and great out of camera JPEGs or one of the DSLRs with an EFS 17-55mm f2.8 lens. 

I like to be mobile and prefer light weight gear, especially when trekking for hours in the heat. I am not really a fan of post processing so I shoot JPEGs and try to correctly expose at the time of shooting. 

I have been living and working in Thailand for many years, am married and have two children. You can find me on Twitter at @HeatThailand
