This page is for events, and batches of pictures. I've started a second flickr page for my better photography. The new page, www.flickr.com/photos/davidduanephotography/, is like a "best of" collection.

I use a Canon 5D mark III (5D3), usually with a 100mm f/2.8 IS L macro image stabilized lens, or a 50mm f1.4. I have a consumer level zoom lens for wide shots, but, I've only used it once in five years.

Since the 5D3 works so well in low light, I've hardly used my 550EX strobe since I got the 5D3. Mostly I bounce the flash into mirrors to give dramatic lighting on subjects.

I've been doing photography since I was on the high school yearbook staff in 1978, and then on and off several times since then. For a while, I had a medium format camera, and until January of 2009, I used a 35mm film camera, when I got a Canon 5D mark II. I scanned negatives and slides on a Nikon 5000 ed film scanner. The first 9,000 images I have on Flickr are from the scanner. Photographs of people, especially candid photographs, are my favorite thing to shoot.
