The images on this site were created using a hodgepodge of gear, including several compacts, a Canon Rebel T1, a Panasonic FZ1000 "bridge" camera, and various iterations of the iPhone.
My current every day camera is the Panasonic FZ1000. Why a bridge camera, and not a DSLR? For one thing, I hate changing lenses, and I'm not about to carry around a bulky 28-200 f2.8 lens, but I like the flexibility of a wide-ranging zoom that can give me a nice wide aperture when I need it. The FZ1000 provides 25-400 equivalent optical zoom at f2.8-4.0 using a "Leica" lens. Not bad! I'm also a fan of Electronic View Finders, which allow you to see how adjustments will play out before the shot, and also allow for viewing the shot just taken without pulling the camera away from your eye to look at a screen. I also love the ergonomics of the FZ1000. There are several customizable buttons; the button and menu layout make sense; and I can truly use it one-handed, making it perfect for use while walking my dog. The FZ1000's fully-articulating screen is also great for street photography, or anytime you need to get an interesting angle. And the AF system is fast and usually spot on. Finally, the ability to pull 8MP stills from 4K 30fps video is huge for capturing exactly the right moment when normal burst just might not cut it.
The main knocks on the FZ1000 are its sub-par battery life (buy off-brand spares!), Panasonic's apparently untrue claim that it has a "one inch" sensor (it is apparently smaller than one inch, making the gap between it and similarly-priced APS-C sensors even greater than advertised), and that you can't set minimum shutter speed per ISO. The first two deficiencies presumably cannot be fixed. The last deficiency should be easy to fix through a firmware update, but my several emails to Panasonic customer service thus far have not gotten the job done. Perhaps I will switch back to an APS-C based camera or to the Sony RX10 Mark III when the price comes down (Sony -- are you listening?!). Until then, or until Panasonic comes around and makes a firmware update, I will take the convenience of my FZ1000 and just have to live with its quirks and its apparently smaller-than-advertised sensor.
I also use the camera on my iPhone 6 Plus a lot. It's lousy for indoor (the flash is horrible), but it is fantastic outdoors in good light. It also has great panoramic, time lapse, and video capabilities. And it has the virtue of always being with me, which means it gets a lot of use.
I don't use many accessories. Tripods are too bulky -- when I have to, I use a generic monopod that I got off of Amazon for $10. The one camera accessory I use all the time is the Peak Design wrist strap. It feels firm and secure, and allows for quickly releasing the camera, leaving only the strap on my wrist which can be secured as a bracelet. I have also used the Peak Design "Capture" Camera Clip system. It is great, freeing up your hands while you walk, and without having a camera dangling from a neck strap. Once you get used to the Capture system, releasing your camera one-handed for quick shots is a breeze. Unfortunately, someone stole mine last year and I haven't gotten around to buying a new one (Peak Design -- if you are reading this, hook a brutha up!).
The other accessory I use all the time is the JimmyCase cover for my iPhone, which combines a fantastic looking wood cover with an industrial-grade elastic credit card and case holder. By having my wallet and iPhone all in one, I'm sure to always have my iPhone with me, which means always having the ability to shoot decent pics indoors, and very good pics outdoors in good light.
Finally, for software, I use Photos on a Mac, and I either tweak there or I use Athentech's Lucid App to do "one touch" tweaks on my iPhone (the app is only a couple of dollars and is fantastic -- unfortunately, they do not yet have an extension for Photos for Mac, so I use the iPhone version)). Why not use Lightroom or Photoshop? Mostly because I don't want to learn the systems. But also because Photos has great photo management tools, and serviceable editing tools. I don't put family or friend pics on this website, but I would be lost without face recognition for helping me sort through my zillion personal photos!
And then there is the issue of RAW versus JPG. I have no doubt that RAW is fantastic, but I agree with the ever-helpful Ken Rockwell -- RAW is for folks who have a lot more time on their hands than I do. RAW might have the capacity to yield a "10" image with sufficient time; but the reality is that if I didn't use JPG with minor tweaks, the images likely would never make it to this site. Better an "8.5" that actually makes it to the site than a "10" that resides inchoate on my hard drive.
I will get links and pics up soon for this and other gear. I'll also add a page with links to resources. But since I am calling this an "Images and Information" site, I wanted to include at least this basic information on launch. Enjoy!
