Welcome to my PBase galleries. I hope you find something of interest here.
I am a serious amateur photographer who began with film and a trusty old manual Pracktica camera back in the 70's, graduated to a Canon A1 that was stolen from my London flat in 1990, and then a Canon T90.
After university, photography took a bit of a back seat while I qualified as a barrister and embarked upon my legal career. I am now something of a technogeek with interests in home theatre, scuba diving, computers and digital imaging.
As you can probably tell from my PBase name, I am an expatriate Brit living in the US. By day I am an M&A lawyer for a large US multinational corporation.
My first digital camera was an Olympus D600L, followed by a Canon D30. I now use a Canon 5D Mark II and several Canon EF lenses -- a 50mm 1.4, a 24-205mm IS L zoom, a 28-135mm IS zoom, a 16-35mm L zoom and a 100-400mm IS L zoom. I also have a couple of 550EX flashes and the Canon ST-E2 flash transmitter. All my recent scans have been done using a Canon Canoscan 9900F scanner.
I have recently been adding to my Canon mini-museum. I now have a new-in-box EOS 1v (and the ES-E1 software, found on Amazon France), a near mint T80 with lenses, and I just bought a new-in-box A1 on eBay! In addition I still have my T90, EOS D30 and 10D. Now looking to expand the collection with an F1 and F1n.
Well I recently decided that it was time to upgrade my trusty Canon 10D for a 5D Mark II. I bought it in the kit with the 24-105mm IS L lens. I also bought the battery grip and a spare battery. So far very impressed.
