John Hussey is the name behind TaiShiDi Photography. A Geologist for many years involved in the search for Oil & Gas, water and other commodities around the world. From the Norwegian Arctic to the southern tip of Africa, from the Americas to the Orient and Oceania and many stations in between, he is now settled in the beautiful Mission Beach (Garners Beach) area of  Tropical North Queensland, Australia rekindling and pursuing his passion for photography.

I use mainly Nikon full frame DSLR cameras but love the mirrorless Olympus OMD EM5 mkiii, with a standard 25mm (50mm equivalent) for more candid and street photography (it’s so compact and versatile and almost invisible!), the 60mm macro for more close up work and the 40-150mm 2.8 Pro telephoto zoom for those far-away shots.  Other equipment for sports and wildlife I like the Nikon D750 paired with the Sigma 150-600mm or the Nikon 70-200mm. For all other I like the feel and versatility of the great Nikon D850 which I pair with a “nifty fifty”, a 105mm macro and a 14-24mm wide zoom. Last but not least the Dji Air 2s drone for dramatic “birds eye view” photography!
