    Re: Camera Family Portrait

    I have thought of buying a nice display case, but as you can see from the couch, my priorities veer away from furnature rather badly.

    They actually get used a good bit. The oldies go in cycles. The Canonet was carried around for a while, then the Honeywell, then ect. ect. Two-thirds of that pile gets a roll through it at least once a month. About one-third are regular (weekly) shooters.

    The new toy has taken over for the old film cameras a little, but has mostly just made the other digitals and newer stuff obsolete. Also, there are two people shooting with this pile, and while Dave's been impressed by the new toy, he won't shoot with the newer stuff (not as much fun, reportedly). The H1A actually got him started too. That is a dangerous camera!!

    Re: Camera Family Portrait

    Okay, I pulled the frequently used stuff together for a quick portrait.

    Of everything you see here, my most commonly used equipment is the Canon G3, Canon 10D with 50mm lens, and either of the flashes.

    My favorite bag by far is the ugly green Domke. That thing is perfect and can fit so much stuff since they didn't go rediculous with 7 inch padding like every other bag out there.

    It's hard to see from this photo but my pano gear is dispersed throughout too....I love taking pano's but don't have much to show for it.

    And yes, that is Spongebob on one of my lenses

    Re: Camera Family Portrait

    Very impressive family portrait. Nicely arranged and lighted. When I did my family portrait I stuck to just the camera's and lenses. After seeing this I now want to go back and get all the other items together and try and get it all in one shot. You did a beautiful job illustrating your equipment.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Well, I might have broken the rules a little bit ;) I personally wouldn't mind seeing all the bits and pieces that we use daily but which we don't consider worthy of attention. For example, I always have a little leatherman tool with me in the field....it comes in handy on occasion.

    I noticed you have four multi disc reflectors what size do you find the most useful and why.

    Outdoors (for something like portraits), the large one. Indoors, usually the middle sized one. For macro photography I use the two small ones or the middle sized one.

    If I were forced to only have one I'd keep the middle sized one and replace the large one with something like foamcore. The small ones are also easily replaceable with foamcore or other materials.

    For the 5 in 1 reflectors, I like having diffusion, silver, and white. I don't usually use the gold or silver/gold. My two small reflectors aren't 5 in 1. One is a black reflector and one is a diffuser.

    Good looking family there

    I think your family and mine might be related
    Nice lighting and arrangement. I wanted to shoot my family with white cloth, but I didn't have any.
    btw, is that a ping pong table underneath all that gear?

    HA! I was waiting for someone to notice It works quite well. Would you like to know something even more funny? Guess what the ping pong table is sitting on...........a pool table. I'm completely serious!

    The lighting is very simple. It's just a large softbox overhead and a little direct fill flash from the camera.

    Welcome to Clan Canon, Ryguyinlj san

    Your swords are a welcome addition to the Canon hordes swarming this site. Hahaha, just having fun with your other post in viewfinder today.
    I'll predict your family will see at least one new digital body added in the next year, and at least one "L" lens (all delivered by the Canon Stork, of course).

    Another digital camera body and an L series? I like your optimism....

    ....but it probably won't happen. I am a college student with limited funds. I worked an entire month full time last summer to save up for my camera. If I were to get a better setup I would either need to make a chunk of cash or get a grant of some sort. Both probably won't heppen any time soon.

    I'll play along...

    So I thought I'd chime in with this thread..
    It shows me with my F100, with Sigma 14 f/2.8 AF ASP EX and SB-80.
    Also shown is the Nikon 24 f/2.8 AF-D, 35-70 f/2.8 AF-D and 80-200 f/2.8 AF-S.
    On the left is a pyramid of Holgas. One of which is a pinhole one.
    I took this with our "Nikonito" a Coolpix 3200.

    Very cool picture Brian. I like what you did here. Those Holgas kind of have a life of their own. Nice the have the Nikon to watch over them.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Re: Here's My Nikon Family Portrait

    No Nikons, if they had launched the D2X in time for Barcelona testing life might have been different.
    Just the bagfull of stuff that goes to F1 testing.

    What's missing?
    Zenit-E, Exacta RTL1000, Minolta A1, A2, Z1, 2x Vectis APS SLR, 2x OM10 ...
    ... and of course the FZ20 that took this shot in the hotel room.

    Thanks Liz!
    The one on the 80-200 is way smaller than the cap itself, so I just stuck it on.
    The Holga's though I had to trim, the stickers were just a bit too big.
    When are we going to see yours?

    Cool Re: Nice stuff!

    Yes, you're right! I haven't posted mine. And it's not that I have so many pieces of equipment that it would take forever to set up.

    Thanks for asking - I intended to act on this when this thread began - but - well, you know how it goes. This is a good reminder.
