Camera Hobby
Have been asked what camera I use as we travel about, well I have three that I carry with us and use them all.
First up I use the I-phone for a good many shots that I put up on Facebook and now Instagram they do give you a good clean shot, and it's easy to post them.
I have three DSLR cameras I use, and I have a full number of the camera lens that I use with them from a very wide angle lens to a 600mm telephoto lens which I don’t use a lot but have in case I need it.

hey are kept in a secure case to protect them from the packing and moving we do.
I also have a monopole which is a single pole to hold camera steady and a tripod for those fixed shots. I also have a small hero 5 go pro I use which is waterproof and can take stills and videos up to 4k clear and is great as it fits in pocket Most of my cameras I have had for some time and used a lot during my working life to take shots of the works I carried out, and in some case, the lens was bought by the company I worked with so I could get the shots they needed and, were gifted to me. |
I have a Canon 7d which is a big camera and has most of the more significant lens I use, a great camera they don’t make it anymore, but there are mark2, etc of this one
I also have a Nikon Coolpix P610 which is a great little camera which has a good zoom and takes stunning photos when set up right And old faithful a Pentax K100 D, this camera I have had forever and it has been a long with me and has been knocked about and still gives me the shots I need and have a 3 lens with it as well |
And here is handy hint for looking after your cameras, to buy a hard case for a camera can cost for the small ones over $85 to over $400, so go down to super cheap they have hard case with Tools pro label on them but they are great for cameras, they come in a lot of sizes from $20 to $85 for a large one, same as camera case but cheaper and they have that name so people think they have tools in them
I guess I should add in now the drone, I sold the Phantom 3 Pro I had as it was just too big and with space limited I had to find something smaller, so I got a DJI. Mavic from the same people who make Phantoms but so much smaller and is packed up in what is a camera bag size, so I can carry it with ease now an it is much quieter to fly.

So these are the Camera gear I use and have one further Case which holds all the chargers and leads needed as you see I can cover near every thing that is required plus have single tripod, and full tripod. It has taken years to get all this together and I also have a number of computer photo edit and video programs to help fix and get the photo right when I stuff up.
A Drone can give you a whole new look and view and it is not that hard to fly.
