Started photography a few years ago but only really started to get serious when I "went digital" about 2 years ago.
Use Canon 300D and Canon 1D. Shoot mostly sport but fiddle around with abstract when an image pops into my head. Also lately started shooting landscapes when the moment presents itself.
After joining the Flickr community in May, I am now a complete and hopeless flickr addict. "I just can't get enough of the lovely, lovely stuff". I have been truly inspired (and intimidated) by the level of expertise shown by my contacts and others.
Thank you to all who view and comment on my meagre attempts at trying to fullfill a passion.
So this is what's in the bag:
- Canon 1D mk3
- Canon 5D mk2
- Canon 300D
- Sigma 10 - 20mm f4-5.6
- Canon 18 - 55mm EFS f3.5-5.8
- Canon 24 - 85mm f3.5-4.5
- Canon 28 - 70mm L f2.8
- Canon 70 - 200mm L f2.8
- Canon 70 - 300mm f4-5.6
- Sigma 105mm EX macro f2.8
- Canon EF 2X extender
- Canon 580EX Speedlight
- Kenko Macro Extention tubes (12mm, 20mm & 36mm)
- Various polarisers, closeup filters and other assorted attachments

To anyone who has taken the time to read this testimonial, please take a few more minutes and look at Kim's photos. I don't know him personally, just through flickr comments. His thoughtful, colorful, provacative images are indicative of someone with that photographic "eye". You either have it or you don't, it can't be trained. I urge you to provide Kim with positive feedback whenever possible. He is a very talented photographer. Skip Hansen
