David Iliff (Diliff)

Background I'm a 34 year old Australian from Melbourne currently living in London, England. I've always enjoyed photography, messing around with video cameras and SLRs since I was a kid, but it wasn't until digital cameras started to become (relatively) affordable did I start to take photography seriously. I started off with a 3mp Kodak DC4800 in 2001, then moved up to a 5mp Nikon CP5000 in 2002 but very quickly hit the wall in terms of flexibility and in 2003, moved up in the world to a DSLR in the form of a Canon 10D when it was first released. Since then, I've built up over time a decent collection of quality Canon glass to support my addiction hobby. In 2005, I upgraded to the Canon 5D, a full frame camera. Unfortunately I had a tripod accident and my 5D and 17-40mm f/4L lens fell into the sea, so I upgraded to a 5D Mk iii in 2012. While I've dabbled in a wide variety of photographic styles, my niche is high resolution stitched panoramic/mosaic landscapes and cityscapes, as demonstrated by my contributions to Wiki. I'm amused and honoured to be the apparent inspiration for Benh Lieu Song's photography. ;-) I am active mostly on the English Wikipedia but of course upload all my photographic images to the Commons for use on other Wiki Projects. My equipment includes: Canon EOS 5D Mark III Canon 24-105mm f/4L, Canon 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS, Canon 85mm f/1.8, Canon 50mm f/1.8, Canon 100mm f/2.8 Macro, Samyang 14mm f/2.8, Sigma 35mm f/1.4.
