Assignment: Your Favorite Equipment

You may just be getting acclimated to your new Canon dSLR, or you may have had it for a few years and are just now ready to expand your gear collection. Regardless of which category or place that you fall, you no doubt have some combination of equipment that is your favorite.

Show your love to the other readers by taking a photo using your favored gear and post it on the Web site to share with other readers. Who knows? Maybe you will find a kindred spirit!

My favorite “Canon combo” is the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L lens with a fast camera, such as my 1D Mark IIn. In this emotional sports image, taken by my 15-year-old son using my equipment, he captured one of his favorite fencers (Italy’s Andrea Baldini) moments before a gold-medal match for a world title. Taken at the 2006 World Fencing Championships in Torino, Italy, at ISO 500, 1/320 second, and f/2.8.
