The Camera Gear I Use

I am currently shooting with a Sony A7R IV, and after trying far too many lenses, have settled on the Sony 24-105mm as my ‘walk around’ lens, the Sony 16-35mm G Master for landscapes, and the Sony 70-200mm G Master II in combination with the Sony 2x Teleconverter for birds and wildlife, which is proving to be an absolutely stellar combination.

I have switched to using DXO Photolab exclusively for all of my RAW Image editing after finally having had enough of Capture One’s never ending excessive upgrade fees. DXO Photlab offers the best ‘out of the box’ image setup, and has by far the best high ISO noise suppression features of any editor.

The Computer I Use

Having been using Gigabyte AERO laptops for the last few years and loving them, when it came time to upgrade again, it was the first place I looked. Sadly however, Gigabyte’s latest versions of the AERO series no longer offered the top end performance of the older models, so it was time to look elsewhere.

In 2023 however, non of the creators laptops offered the best performance so I had little choice other than to buy a full blown gaming laptop and that is what I did. Enter the MSI MSI Titan GT77 HX 13V.

  • Intel 13th Gen Core i9-13980HX CPU (5.6GHz, 24 Cores)
  • NVIDIA RTX-4080 GPU 12GB VRAM
  • 64GB RAM
  • PCIe Gen 5
  • 1 x 2TB SSD
  • 1 x Sabrent 4TB SSD
  • 1 x Sabrent 8TB SSD
  • 4K 17″ MiniLED Display
  • Wi-Fi 6 Gig+
  • UHS-II SD Card Reader
  • 250 watt combined CPU and GPU Power.

 

The laptop is a powerhouse and offers a significant upgrade from the older Gigabyte I had before…until next year that is!
