what kind of gear do you have?

what up oranges!!!!

some of you may know that nikon is a major sponsor of the workshop. every year they show up at the barn and allow the students to check out camera bodies and lenses. before then they typically want to know what kind of gear people are currently using so they know what to bring along to the workshop. to that end i would like to get a list of what you guys have. if you are a canon shooter that is completely cool i still want to know what you have in your bag, and if you chose you can still request nikon gear at the workshop.

here is what want to know.....
a list of all of your gear (bodies, lenses, any speedlights)

will you have any audio gear, you know something to record with (if not no big deal. this is completely up to you but you can record the speakers with it at the very least.)

are you bringing your laptop? this will help me with a few minor details i need to worry about. (not a huge deal either way)

if you could check out nikon gear what would you like to have ideally? the nikon folks asked this in years past if i remember correctly.

just leave your answers in a comment on this post. i would love to hear from all of you on this one.

GO ORANGE!!!!

  7. hi team.

    i will bring a Nikon D300, a 17-55mm f2.8, a MBP laptop. are speedlites needed? if so i can bring a couple with pocket wizards, but prefer a lighter load and will probably not lug any extra lenses. i keep a lav mic with me and i use my iPhone to record.

    i'd love to check out the D3s with the 14-24mm or the 24mm f1.4 lens.

  10. Reaction about josh e-mail,


    If i choose to use just a body and one lens of Nikon,
    it's because i don't want to have to carry a lot of material on me,
    if i have to much material, i'll be slower and after all, we need to pay attention about this material who is not ours.

    For the 50MM, i don't use it often, so it's a good challenge for me to use a lens who's between a big angle and a tele-lens.

    A choose the D3 because it's bigger and heavier (i got little hands) than a 5D MKI or MKII, and i know, that during my career sometimes i'll not have the choice to wok with my material.

    Another challenge about work with a Nikon is to be faster as i'm with my canon because with nikon everything is going on the other side (focus, aperture etc.)

    ;)

  11. sebastien,

    there is no explanation needed. the point of the post is that i want you guys to be ready to try things you wouldn't normally do. i want you guys ready to push yourself to see things differently. equipment is only one example of that.
