Best of luck Iain. I may well follow you into retirement (but not Canon  ) later this year. I am still doing photoshoots and design jobs that come along, but they are becoming less regular, as I no longer chase clients for work... .....and work is now an 'interference' to leisure hours!

This convinced me that I didnt really enjoy working for a large organisation but also I didnt enjoy working alone as a lone consultant. I also didnt need more money but I wanted more time to do stuff that I wanted to do and if I decided for no money or for pay then it was my decision. This was very empowering as once you take money out of the equation then it is about doing the right thing rather than listening to the payer.

i retired two years ago after a bad holiday accident left me unable to drive for a few months ,so i just sat it out for the last nine months till my pensions started .so now had a couple of years doing what i WANT to do rather than having to get home and get ready for work . camera wise i have come the other way having had a 50d plus a 400mm 5.6 and a few other lenses and the use of my sons 7d to try out ,i acquired a nikon d7000 middle of last year and was going to keep it for a spare camera ,after a while to acclimatise myself i realised that the d7000 is far superior in most respects to the canon pro-sumer range 50d,60d,7d ,nikon lenses being the problem ,i struggled for a few months with a sigma 150-500os ,but early this year changed to a nikon 300mmf4 afs and now use it with a 1.4tc and a 1.7tc finding it the ideal combo ,all my canon gear is now sold i much prefer my nikon for what i use it for .

Just shows that camera gear is what suits you and one size doesnt fit all!

Iain, "and in doing that I don't want too need a donkey to carry my gear around." If a donkey was good enough for Ansel, why not for you??? :rasper:

All the best in your retirement Iain. I have been retired for a few years and it's a very nice life style. Good luck with your Canon gear. I hope you still remain an active member here as I have learned a lot from you. Keep posting the wildlife shots as looking at the photo, I can't tell if it was a Nikon or Canon which took the shot - just a solid photographer.
