Photo equipment

All the photos of the babies were taken using a Canon 350D. I’ve used a range of lenses, including a 50mm f/1.8, a 70-200 f/4, a 300mm f/4 IS, a borrowed 50mm Macro and an old Carl Zeiss 50mm lens on extension tubes. I’ve also bought some automatic extension tubes that let me get in closer, but Nippy and the babies spook easily, so I’ve mainly been shooting at 1.5m with the 300mm IS. They don’t like strong light, so I’ve had to make do with the dim lighting available, shooting at ISO 1600 and about 1/20 sec shutter speeds, which has been challenging.
