I began shooting with the 10MP
Canon EOS 400D, so when I
upgraded to a Canon 7D I found
the extra resolution and quality
quite a step up, especially as I
started to print more of my images
at larger sizes. I like to take images
in low light, before and after the
sun has risen or set. I frequently
use ND fi lters for longer exposures
and I am really impressed with the
way the Canon 7D has handled
tricky scenes and scenarios over
the years. Although I usually use a
tripod, I have taken some of my
favourite images handheld, and
I’m not reluctant to push the
sensitivity when I need to in order
to get the shot. I have since
purchased a full-frame Canon
EOS 5D Mark III, but have held
onto my 7D. I fi nd myself using it
when I require the extra reach of
the cropped sensor and want to
carry a lighter kit.
