I mostly shoot macro, wildlife, landscapes, and some event photography centered around the Bellingham, WA area (formerly North Louisiana). I primarly shoot with a Canon 5D Mk III, 7D, 50D, and EOS-M. The lens stable houses an EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5, Rokinon 14mm f/2.8, EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS, EF-M 22mm f/2, TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II, EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II, Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG, EF 50mm f/1.8 II, EF 50mm f/1.4, MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5x Macro, EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro, EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II, EF 300mm f/4L IS, EF 600mm f/4L IS II, and EF 1.4x III Extender. Lighting assisted by MT-24EX Macro Twin Lite, 580EX II Speedlite, and 420EX Speedlite Canon flashes. Support staff includes Giottos MT9170 macro tripod, Manfrotto 190CXPRO3 CF tripod, Gitzo GT3541LS CF tripod, and Manfrotto 679B monopod along with Jobu Junior 3 gimbal head, Acratech GP ball head, Manfrotto 234 RC tilt head, iOptron SkyTracker, and generic 4 way macro rail.

 

Desktop stacking is done with a Cognisys StackShot macro rail and custom 100+lb wood, steel, and aluminum base plus positioning stage. Lenses used for stacking are the MP-E 65mm or a Nikon CFI Plan 10x/0.25 objective mounted on either a M42 Asahi Pentax Auto Bellows with DIY tube lens or 70-200mm f/2.8L at 200mm. Stacks are processed with Zerene Stacker or Helicon Focus.

 

Post processing is done with the usual RAW + Lightroom + Photoshop work flow.
