About kiwisa

I have always taken lots of photos using whatever point and shoot camera I owned, mostly for recording memories. I bought a Canon Powershot S3 IS in 2006. Early 2009 I did a photography course and discovered a side of my camera I had yet to use. In 2009 I bought my first DSLR a Canon EOS 450D and was constantly practicing, experimenting and trying to develop a photographic eye ….
Cycling the trails of NZ became a hobby and form of exercise, and I bought a G12 as a lightweight option to use on the cycle trails.
In 2013 I treated myself to a Canon 7D and loved it.
I eventually updated to a Canon 7D II and added 100-400mm lens, which I loved and served me well on a few very special trips to Southern and East Africa taking in the Serengeti and Masai Mara.

I have given most of my cameras away now, but use my 7DII and 5DIV ( my latest and probably final gift to myself before retirement).
Covid has put paid to any dreams of overseas travel and fulfilling bucket lists, but am enjoying exploring more of the beautiful country I live in.

2023 update. I have now traded in all my cameras and lenses and bought myself the Canon R6m2. I need to be able to travel lighter. I did however keep my beloved 100 to 400mm and bought the adapter. A big learning curve using this mirrorless, but still enjoying it
