Cameras

Canon 6D Mark II - This is my primary camera for landscapes.

Canon 7D Mark II - This is my primary camera for sports or when I want a little bit extra focal length because of the crop factor.

Lenses

Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM - This is my ultra-wide angle zoom lens for the 6DII & 7DII.

Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS II USM - This is my all-purpose lens for the 6DII & 7DII. It’s my go-to lens for the 6DII.

Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM - This is my telephoto zoom lens for the 6DII & 7DII.

Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM - This is my macro lens for the 6DII & 7DII.

Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-5.6 - This was my wide angle lens for the 7DII.  With the 1.6x crop factor of the 7DII, I get an equivalent FOV as 16-35 on a full frame camera.

Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 - This was my most used lens.  It's equivalent to the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L except it's for crop sensor bodies and doesn't have the red ring.

Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 - This was my telephoto lens for the 7DII.

Sigma 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM - This is for when 200mm (320mm equivalent on a crop sensor body) doesn't get me close enough.

Other Equipment

Really Right Stuff TVC-34L Tripod - An excellent tripod, well worth every penny I spent on it.  I upgraded from a Manfrotto because I wanted something taller without a center column.

Really Right Stuff BH-55 Ballhead - Arca-swiss compatible ballhead.  Built very well.

Really Right Stuff L Plate - This allows me to rotate my camera between landscape and portrait orientation without move the ballhead.  With the Manfrotto, I had to reposition the ballhead.

Lee Filters - I use the Big Stopper, Little Stopper, 105mm circular polarizer, and a few neutral density graduated filters.  All are used with the Lee Foundation Holder, which I have two of - one with 3 slots and another with 2 slots plus the circular polarizer ring.

Post Processing

LaCie Rugged Hard Drive – This holds all of my media, Lightroom Catalogs.  This system allows me to seamlessly switch from laptop to desktop without ever having to sync folders or re-edit images.

Adobe Photoshop – Used to do the things Lightroom can’t.

Adobe Lightroom – Used to edit and organize my library of images.
