Here are the list of digital photography gears including digital camera, film camera and photography image editing software I use in now and in the past.
Current DSLR:
- Canon 7D – Great Semi-Professional camera that comes with 1080 HD Video.
- 28-135mm macro lens – A great macro lens for closeup shooting.
- Canon Speedlite 580EX II Flash
– Awesome flash light for my Canon 7D.
- Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM Ultra Wide Angle Zoom Lens – The best resell value wild angle lens for HDR photography.
Software:
- Irfan View – The most popular image editing and viewing shareware with lots cool features and plugins.
- Photoshop
CS2 – Don’t need to say anything more about it.
- Photomatix Pro – Must have software to create High Dynamic Range HDR images.
- Adobe DNG Converter – Adobe’s FREE Digital Negative (DNG) converter. This is specifically useful when you want to convert RAW image file to DNG file, so you can open them in older version of Photoshop such as CS2, which do NOT support new RAW file from modern digital cameras.
Learning And Training:
If you are someone like me who wants to be a master in the digital photography and don’t know where to start? This will be the great digital photography classes for you to learn it at your home and from the digital photography masters.
