Camera Gear

Wildlife camera and lens

I am currently using the OM-1 Mark II Micro Four Thirds camera body from OM Systems. It is an incredible camera with a mind-numbing list of settings to learn, but if you do, you'll be rewarded with stellar images. It has amazing autofocus capabilities, especially for animals and birds. I have it paired with the excellent M.Zuiko 100-400mm zoom lens. With an effective zoom of 200-800mm, 35mm equivalent, the reach of this lens brings distant animals up close and personal.

Walking-around camera for general use

The Sony RX100VIII is a pocketable camera stuffed with a 1" sensor and a 24-200mm zoom lens. The detail is awesome, and the reach is terrific for such a small camera.

Camera carrier

Carrying a heavy camera is a pain. The Cotton Carrier Skout G2 makes it easy. The secure attachment means you can't drop the camera and nobody can swipe it. The safety strap brings a secondary drop and theft protection system to the sling. The weight is nicely distributed, and it makes walking around easy.

Home photo storage

I take thousands of photos. Where do you keep them? Plus, how do you access them? My solution is a network-attached storage (NAS) device, specifically a UGREEN DH4300 NAS with high-performance disks and uninterruptible power.
