Had a fair few problems with the PC I was using, so all previous posts were not saved here. Anyway, I'm just going to give a quick summary of the camera equipment I use and what I like to photograph.
At the moment, I've got a Canon EOS 400D with a BG-E3 Battery Grip.
It's a great camera for amateur photographers and with just over 10Mp, it gives very professional results.
In the lens department, I've got the Canon EF 50mm f1.8 II, the EF 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 III, the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 (Kit Lens) and the jewel in my crown, the EF 300mm f/2.8L IS USM. I have a Canon Speedlite 550EX. With the 300mm f/2.8, I use a Manfrotto 680 Monopod.
Off the top of my head, I can't recall what tripod I have. I guess that shows how little I use it.
I use Transcend 266x CompactFlash Cards.
For fun, I have a Samsung NV10, which is an absolutely superb, little camera! It's great for slipping into your shirt pocket, when you're on a night out.
To carry it all around, I use a Lowepro Vertex 200 AW.
I've also got an AquaTech SS-300 Sport Shield Pro, because "Summer Soccer", in Ireland, isn't always blessed with sunshine.
Speaking of "soccer" (football), it's my favourite subject.
I've been a football fan all my life and since I was never going to get any recognition for playing the sport, I thought I'd try to photograph it instead.
I'm lucky enough to have access to FAI eircom League of Ireland games, which gives me a great chance to learn the skills and I get to watch some very exciting football.
I've never had any formal photography training and really am learning by my mistakes. Someday, I hope to be very competent and consistently producing great shots.
Here are some examples of what I've managed to produce, so far.
If anyone has advice or constructive criticism, I'd like to hear from you.
