Really Right Stuff

See RRS when it comes to tripods, ball heads, quick releases, plates and panorama capture accessories, just to name a few of their incredible fine products made in the USA. You'll want to check out their website at www.reallyrightstuff.com.

Zerene Stacker

When it comes to utilizing a stacking software, I first turn to Zerene Stacker because it consistently gives me the best results. That goes for macro subjects with more than 100 images to landscapes with only a few captures. This is a tool that nearly every photographer can use at one time or another. ZereneSystems.com

Canon U.S.A.

I've been using Canon cameras and lenses for more than 30 years. I also use Canon iPF printers in the 44 and 17 inch sizes. At the moment my main cameras are the EOS R5 MK II, R5, and R7. I have been an Explorer of Light since the beginning of the program and now am a member of the Canon Legend Program. The Canon website can be accessed at www.usa.canon.com.

Apple

We have 4 Apple computers in our offices and they have been pretty much flawless over the 19 years since we switched from Windows based computing.  I now use Dell and ViewSonic monitors working from an Apple Mini Pro Computer ww.Apple.com

Hoodman

Their CF card and SD cards have never failed me and are fast. The owners are also stand-up guys .www.HoodManUSA.com

Cognisys Inc.

High mag macro photography where stacking is involved is very difficult and the movement between stacked images will end up in the micron range. The only way to do this properly is to use a StackShot made by Cognisys Inc. They also make interesting tools to capture drops in mid-air and high-speed shutters.
