The kit

Gear.

Everything on this site was made with the kit below — no rented glass, no borrowed drone. Tools earn their place in the bag.

Camera & lenses

Sony A7 IV

33MP full-frame mirrorless

The body behind every ground-level photo on this site — wildlife, macro, landscapes, and night skies alike.

Everything it's shot

Sony FE 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS

Super-telephoto zoom

The wildlife reach — eagles, woodpeckers, and the moon all come from this glass.

The eagle

Sony FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro G OSS

1:1 macro prime

The small-world lens — ladybugs, dew drops, crab spiders, and the eye photo people ask about.

The eye

Sony FE 20mm f/1.8 G

Ultra-wide prime

For night skies and big landscapes — the aurora and star work lean on that f/1.8.

The aurora

Tamron 28-200mm f/2.8-5.6 Di III RXD

Do-everything travel zoom

The one-lens travel kit for days when carrying the whole bag isn't the point.

In the air

DJI Air 3S

Dual-camera drone

The newest chapter — aerial panoramas and video, flown toward a Part 107 certificate.

First flights

Sound

DJI Mic Mini

Wireless microphone

Clean audio for video work without the cable spaghetti.

The PC

CyberPowerPC tower

Ryzen 9 9900X · RTX 5080 · 32GB DDR5-6000

The machine behind the edits — 12 cores and a 5080 chewing through photo batches, video renders, and gaming without complaint.

Photo archive

2TB NVMe · 4TB WD My Book · 2TB Samsung T7

Fast internal storage for active projects, big spinning backup for the library, and a pocket SSD that travels with the camera.
