Your equipment....

Hi,
What equipiment do you use besides your camera when you take photos(tripods..etc)

What type of camera do you usE?

Canon 300D, Canon 550EX, Canon 420EX, Canon 50mm 1.8, Canon 70-200mm 4.0, Canon 18-55mm, White Balance Card, Cheapo Tripod, San Disk Ultra 1GB CF Card.

Depends on the situation. I shoot digital and film, and there are a lot of tricks for both depending on what results you're trying to get and what you have to work with.

Problems could be: Not enough light, bad quality light, light in the wrong spot, no good access to get a shot - a million others.

Any specific situations?

LENSES....

Seriously, handheld meter, tripod. Those are the only two things that get reguar use besides the camera.

In my camera bag, I have:
My main body (F100),
Zoom, telephoto lens and primes (24 and 50mm),
Electronic shutter release,
Flash unit,
Off-body flash cord
Filters (pola, ND)
... and my old faithfull Gitzo

In addition, I always have aspirin and a hat that I use as a shade. I always pack some cleaning cloth and a small brush in case.

... and tons of film... if I don't use them, they go back to the fridge once I'm home!

......and I soooo wish to add much more :D !

One toy that I am really looking forward to get is a light meter!

Cheers,

Steph.

Compact flash card, 70-200 lens about 75% of the time, camera strap. Rarely use much else, not even a tripod.

EOS 10D, EOS 1D Mk II

Well, I shoot mostly LF and MF, so other then the cameras and lenses: film holders, light meter, heavy duty bogen tripod, loupe, dark cloth, lens wrench, assortment of filters and filter holders, cable releases, 18% grey card, bag bellows, normal bellows, lens hoods, cleaning brush and blower... That's about it... Puting it that way it sounds like a lot, but it's not so bad... Oh yeah... and a good stop watch and some spreadsheets to keep track of the film holders...

My primary cameras are an Olympus OM-3 and OM-1N with an OM-G as backup.

I have a few different bags that I use as the occasion warrants; holster type, backpack, small regular case, huge regular case & a couple of Pelicans.

There's the small, light tripod for hikes and the big Bogen. The cable release.

Polarizers. Lens hoods. Boy did I learn my lesson on the importance of lens hoods. :rolleyes:

Occasionally I use a ring light and a regular shoe-mount Sunpak.

And of course my children; 24mm f2.8, 35mm f2, 50mm f1.8, 90mm f2, 180mm f2.8 and every once in a while the 300 f4.5.

Damn! I gotta get the kids out of the house today.
