About dobbino

dobbino

I retired at the end of December 2007, and am now able to spend some time with my photography, computer, and my guitar. I'm trying desperately to try and allocate equal time for these three main interests, but the photography/computer is taking an unfair proportion currently. It's taken some time to find this particular hosting website (Aminus3), but it was worth the wait.

At present, I photograph anything that appeals. My wonderful wife, Jacqui, helps out occasionally with props and things, and takes a keen interest in the photos, which helps enormously.

On a personal note, I have always wanted to put out a website, more for the learning curve than anything else, and it's now in development but up for viewing at: dobbino.com.

Photography Equipment

Currently using a Canon EOS 40D. Previous cameras were the Canon EOS 400D and the Canon EOS 350D.
Main working lens is the EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM.
Other lenses are:
Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM
Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM
Canon EF-S 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM
Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II
430 EX Flash
Kenko 2x extender (bad buy and is just taking up space at present!)
Hahnel RF Remote Control (superb buy and essential, I think)
Software is mainly Photoshop CS3, with lots of patience, for any adjustments to the original photos.
