Thanks Wes. I am not able to afford any fancy camera gear
I use a panasonic lumix dmc-tz3 as my base camera. I then made myself a lens from bits and pieces of old gear, a short cardboard tube, from the inside of a roll of electrical tape and LOTS of duct tape.
I focus my efforts on composition and creativity and push image quality to the camera's max. This way, when I am able to afford a "real" camera, I will be ready to take some impressive shots |

| June 16, 2012 @ 4:44pm | You certainly don't need to defend yourself to me what kind of equipment you are using, Stephen. Obviously you are doing some great photography with what you have and that is what counts. I still believe the saying that "it is the photographer behind the camera and not the camera or equipment" that makes the picture.
I am enjoying your images a lot.
