What's in the bag????

I figured since I have gotten a few emails about what I use and the equipment I currently have, I would just make a blog post about it.

Right now, I am missing a few things...but don't fret...They will be in my hands by the end of next year.

So here we go, This is what I currently have and use all the time:

My bag

The new bag that I will have by the end of this year:





The 2 camera bodies that I have:

The Canon 20D and the Canon 50D





My Lenses:



This would be the Canon 24-70mm F 2.4 L series Lens

This is the 70-200mm F 2.4 Image Stabilizer L series lens
This is the Canon 85mm F1.8 lens (not L series but is awesome)



And this is one of my favorites, The Canon 50mm F 1.4 lens (also not L series but also amazing)


My Meter/various other little things:


Battery Chargers x4

Batteries x4


Circular Polarizer

My light meter Seckonic L 358

UV filter x2




My Flashes:


Canon 580 Ex Flash

This was my first one and still use it just fine The Canon 550EX Flash....they do not make this anymore


Lighting Equipment:


My Pocket Wizard Radio Slaves x2

My Lightstand bag (the other bag I lug around )


Westcott Air Cushioned light stand

Photogenic umbrella


5 in 1 reflectors


one of my tripods by Slik



lens hoodx2

other lens hood x2


There are other little things here and there that are in there, but they are cords and things like that, so no point in posting photos of those.

Here is the lens I should have soon (by the end of next year)


The Canon 16-35mm F2.8 L series lens

I rent this all the time for various shoots and love it so soon enough, it will be mine! Mwahaha...okay just kidding.

Well, I think that's about it for now. Next year, I will have newer and improved things and will update again I'm sure.

Love and Smiles,
Amanda

The New Baby

No I am not talking about the cuddly, cute, and cooing kind.

I am talking about the clicking, flashing and shutter snapping kind!!!

I came home Monday to find this beauty waiting for me :) :)



Pretty sweet huh?
Shes one of the latest additions to the Canon SLR family and shes great. Now i have the 20D and the 50D, although my 20D will be going bye bye soon and I will be getting either the Canon 5D MarkII or the 1D MarkIII.....but that will be later next year I hope.

She really is great though, lots more features and a little more for me to learn....so I am headed back to do just that. I will be snapping pictures around here this afternoon if the weather allows me.....its been a little blustery out.

WELCOME FALL!!! Thank God it's finally getting here. I grew up in Upstate NY so I miss the cooler seasons! Keyword: Seasons.....so I am STILL trying to get used to being down here (its been 5 years.....oops)


Hope everyone has a great week!!! Smile and Laugh
