Canon Macro Twin Lite
MT-24EX Flash

If my macro work dictates the need for flash, then this is flashgun set-up that I use.
It clips onto my canon 100mm macro lens as it stands, but needs a special adapter ring to clip onto my canon 180mm macro lens and the 100mm 2.8L IS macro lens

SUN POSITION COMPASS

Much of my Landscape Photography is planned in advance and it is useful to know the position of the sun beforehand.
This cheap and simple to use compass, allows me to predict the position of the sun.
Simply line the compass with the North. The months of the year are indicated on the base and it indicates for each month where the sun will rise and set.

Sandisk CompactFlash cards
Extreme IV

The Canon Eos1D Mark II and the Canon Eos1Ds Mark II can write images extremely fast, so I needed a memory card that could quickly record images to avoid waiting between shots. At the time of buying my CompactFlash cards Extreme IV were the best available. These cards are capable of recording images faster than my camera can write them.

Epson P4000
Multimedia Storage Viewer.

This Digital device allows me to transfer and store 80Gb of images in from my Compact Flash cards or my Secure Digital cards in J-Peg or Raw format. I can view my images in fine detail due to the high resolution 3.8” Photo Fine colour LCD screen.

LaCie d2 Quadra External Hard Drives.

I use LaCie 1Tb Hard Drives to store both my Raw files and my final images on.
My LaCie External hard drives were chosen for their reliability and they have been faultless.
Each file is stored on a pair of drives so that if one fails I have a back up, so I buy drives in pairs and back up daily.
I feel that at present, this is the safest way to protect my valuable files.
