BACKGROUND INFO

Who? - Elaine
When? - September 1975
Where? - South Yorkshire, England
What? - My photoblog; the name Neurotic Camel is an anagram of my name.

Why?
I first started a weblog back in March 2002. It wasn't until early 2005 that I started getting really interested in digital photography. I'd had a Fuji Finepix 1300 for some time, but never done much more than take snapshots with it.
 
In April 2005, I went on holiday to America and came back with a Canon S1 IS (now upgraded to a digital SLR). I didn't create the photoblog until October 2005, but I've been updating it ever since. New images are automatically published at 00:01.

Equipment
I take the majority of photos with my Canon EOS 30D. I also have a Casio EX-Z120 that comes in handy as a miniature backup. I have several lenses:
Canon 17-40mm f/4 L
Canon 100mm f/2.8 macro
Tokina 12-24mm f/4 AT-X Pro DX
Sigma 70-300 f/4-5.6 macro
Canon 50mm f/1.8 Mk 2
 
I use Photoshop CS2 to post process my images, and have a LowePro CompuDayPack for my kit.
