This is a list of the equipment I use and what it is used for.

Canon EOS 1D DSLR - Very accurate auto-focus and high speed continuous shots. Normally used with a 100-400L lens and is my workhorse system for close action or on the grid.

Canon EOS 1D MK-II DSLR  - An ideal camera for use with my 300 2.8L IS lens with a x2 TC as it offers the extra reach and the room to crop the picture in post-processing.

Canon 300mm 2.8L IS - The 'Swiss army knife' of prime lenses. They don't come any better than this.

Canon 500mm 4.0L IS - For when you really need that extra reach. Combined with a TC this is my 'big' lens.

Canon 70-200mm 2.8L IS - I use this zoom around the paddocks and pit lanes.

Canon 100-400mm4.5-5.6L IS - My workhorse zoom.

Canon 17-40L - Wide angle, mainly used on the grid.

Canon 24-70mm 2.8L - Very handy for team shots.

Canon 85mm 1.8 - Used for portraits, mainly of drivers.

Canon 50mm 1.4 - Also a portrait lens, used when there isn't a lot of room.

Canon 1.4 and 2.0 MK-II TC's - Spend their time on the 300mm or 500mm for extra reach.

Manfrotto 449 CF Monopod - I love this monopod. Strong, light and quick to adjust.

Canon 550EX and a pair of 420EX flash guns - All three get used for some portrait sessions.

Epson P2000 - Use to dump my CF cards to. A very high quality bit of kit.

Spare batteries and CF cards - To keep me going through the day.

Tamrac Expedition-8. This is a big bag (VERY BIG) and is not for the weak of back or heart. It gobbles up everything except the 300mm and weighs a ton!
