| Nikon D90 DSLR – My current DSLR. Great under low light. Shoots 720p video. Shots have a Canon-like “creaminess” in contrast to other Nikons’ sharpness. Love it. Shot with this camera:  |
| Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 EX DC Macro Lens – A good all-around lens, it currently lives on my d90 90% of the time. 18-50mm range is handy for wide angle to slightly-zoomed shots. Macro is handy for getting in close to subjects. f/2.8 aperture is handy for low-light conditions. Highly recommended over the kit lens Nikon sells with the d90. Shot with this lens:  | |
| Nikon 50mm f/1.4D AF Nikkor Lens – Before I got the Sigma, this lens lived on my camera 90% of the time. Beautiful shots. Great under low light. Nice and light for walking around. Better quality than the Sigma, but – of course – fixed at 50mm. It also has as a much longer minimum focusing distance than the Sigma, making it difficult to shoot anything close-up. Shot with this lens (on my old Nikon d70s):  | |
| Adobe Lightroom – I use Lightroom 2.0 for most of my photo editing – cropping, correcting and applying filters. It has all sorts of features for photo management (tags, archiving, etc…) that I haven’t used. I’ll probably start once I have a chance to pick up a copy of 3.0. (What I saw of 3.0 in the beta was great, but not worth the $100 upgrade just yet.) Edited with Lightroom:  | |

| Corel PaintShopPro – Corel’s take on Photoshop Elements. I mostly use it for heavy editing, like combining multiple photos into a single image. Edited with PaintShopPro:  |
| 1st Generation iPhone – Soon to be replaced by the v4, which will also be my point-and-shoot for the near future. Photo quality on the 1st Gen is low, but can rescued to a certain extent using apps like CrossProcess. Shot with the iPhone, edited with CrossProcess:

| Nikon D70s SLR – My first DSLR. Great camera at the time. The d90 runs rings around it now. (Lighter. Better photo quality. Video. Better under low light. Etc…) Shot with this camera:  | |
| Nikon 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G ED IF AF-S DX Nikkor Zoom Lens – The kit lens that came with the d70s. An okay lens, but the Sigma’s photo quality, low-light performance and short focusing distance more than make up for the extra zoom here. Shot with this lens:  | |
| Canon PowerShot S400 – The best point-and-shoot I suspect I’ll ever own. I bought this camera in 2003 and used it up until it died last year. Great photo quality. Great colours. I’ve looked at many (many) options to replace it, but haven’t found a P&S I like as much. Shot with this camera:  |
