Geof Finch Photography

Based in and around Byron Bay, the most easterly point of Australia, I enjoy the challenges of the natural outdoors.

I am fascinated by nature. I love the power of the ocean, the serenity of the mountains and ever changing clouds which are captured in my landscape images and on display in my public albums.

I use a Nikon D700 with battery pack, for its 8fps, perfect colour rendition, perfect dynamic range, high ISO noise reduction (100 - 25600), and it's full frame. My secondary camera is a Canon 5D - it's great for it's full frame, expanded ISO 50 - 3200, and the sensor's ability to capture great images. I have a third Canon 300D for it's lightweight plastic / titanium build. Most of my lenses have been sold off and I prefer to just use a 28-135 f/3.5 IS USM prime lens for portraits and general work. and a 70mm - 300mm f/4.5G VRII for sports. I also carry spare batteries.

Along with a couple of tripods, I use a 550EX Speedlite, and have a Sekonic 308 Light Meter, and Circular Polariser's and an electronic shutter remote. My memory cards are; 2 Sandisk 8GB Extreme IV cards and 2 Sandisk 4GB Extreme III cards for quick download in RAW and JPEG - their capacity to transfer large amounts of data from both the Nikon D700 and the Canon 5D (12.8 megapixels at a fast rate without buffer overrun), also have a Transcend 2GB 80x for flash and studio work in RAW. Images are shot in RAW. Tiff or JPEG and are stored on TDK Gold CD's or DVD and backed up to an external hardrive. I use Sandisk Rescue Pro (recovery program) to find lost or deleted files from CF cards.
My cameras and lenses are pushed to the limits. They must be able to withstand constant salt air, salt water, mud, sand, snow, rain (and being accidently dropped). Images are worked on in either Photoshop CS3, Picassa 2, ACDSee Pro Manager, Canon EOS Solutions, Capture NX or other software programs.
