Equipment:

# Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7 (on loan to a friend)

# Nikon D40x.

# Canon IXUS 75

# Nikon DX Nikkor AF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 ED (kit lens)

I love the warmth of the colours that come out of my camera when I use this old but nice lens.

# Nikon AF-S Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8 G IF-ED

Probably my favourite lens. It looks enormous when mounted on my D40x.

# Tokina 70-210mm

# Nikon DX Nikkor AF-S 55-200mm f/4-5.6 G IF-ED

Liking this lens so far.

# Nikon SB-600 Speedlight

Some of my FZ7 shots:

Waterlily - Margaret Edwards BaLlAST Another Dandelion Clock

Waterlily - Margaret Edwards seems to be my most popular shot by far.

BaLlAST is here because I have a thing about litter. You'll see a few shots of people's inconsiderate dropping of rubbish in my photostream.

Another Dandelion Clock is one I got printed and it came out really well. One of my favourite FZ7 pics.

 

Some of my D40x shots:

Joyful Colours Apricot Thingies Sky (+Polarizer)

Joyful Colours _was_ my favourite D40x shot but it got taken over, see below.

Apricot Thingies. Not sure what it is I like about this one.

Sky (+Polarizer) was, as the title suggests, a test to see if using a polarizer makes much of a difference. It seems that it can in the right conditions.

 

Some of my IXUS shots:

Nutty Nutty Nut Nuts What I Actually Bought Blue Boxes

 

Nutty Nutty Nut Nuts was one of my first images using the IXUS.

What I Actually Bought documents my usual shopping method.

Blue Boxes is one of my limited messed-about-with-in-photoshop images.

 

My Favourite:

Same To You

Of the pictures I've taken Same To You is quite possibly my favourite. It wasn't when I first took it but it sorta grew on me. I now use it as my desktop background which works really well because the space on the left has little in the way of distraction so I can easily see my icons.

Testimonials

Bob says:

I'll probably never make it to London or Kew. Thanks to Michelle I don't have to despair about that. Her pictures let me see the beauty, the confounding, and the special among other things. She can help you see the world as you have not seen it before, often with humor and always with attention.
