Camera gear

What I Shoot With

Nothing fancy. It's an entry-level Canon and the two lenses that came in the box, and that's what took nearly every photo on 5-0.pw.

Canon EOS Rebel T6 DSLR Kit with EF-S 18-55mm and EF 75-300mm Lenses

The camera and both lenses behind nearly every photo on this site.

  • EF-S 18-55mm (came in the kit). My go-to for landscapes and sunsets. It's on the camera for most of what I shoot.
  • EF 75-300mm (came in the kit). This is the one for the backlit hummingbirds. A lot of them are shot zoomed in around 150mm so I can stay back and not spook them. It takes patience, and a lot of missed frames.

More everyday and outdoor gear is coming as I add the things I really use.

A big low sun over hazy rolling hills, soft golden light.

Y'all be safe.
