People are always asking us about what equipment we use and how we edit our photos so I thought I'd do a "what's in the bag" post for y'all. First off, I want to say that we really try to do very little editing. Spending a lot of time editing cuts into your profits:) Also, if you need to edit a picture heavily in order to sell it, it probably isn't that great of a picture to begin with. The only time that we really do a bunch of heavy editing is when we are trying to learn new things in Photoshop or for our own personal fun projects. So, we have Photoshop CS5 Extended Edition, Bridge, and Camera RAW. For those of you who don't know, Camera RAW is like Lightroom 3. We use Camera RAW most of the time. Side note on this- if you are a student or a teacher you get 80% off at Adobe. That is a really great deal:) Okay, so now for the fun stuff. Here is what is in our bag:
Cameras:
Canon 7d
Canon Rebel xs
Lenses:
Canon 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 IS
Canon 28-135mm f3.5-5.6 IS
Canon 50mm f1.8
Lighting:
Canon Speedlite 430 EX II
Cowboy Studio NPT-04 4 channel wireless flash trigger and receiver
Cowboy Studio Strobist kit including flash mount, light stand, and shoot thru umbrella
43" Reflector 5-in-1
homemade flags
Bags:
Canon 2400
Quantaray Holster
my purse:)
Computer:
MacBook Pro
various backup drives and memory cards
So, as you can see we are pretty basic:) Remember that "camera's don't take pictures- people do!" That doesn't mean we don't have a running "wish list"-hehehe. I want more Speedlites. Dustin wants more lenses. Who am I kidding! I want more lenses too:) What do you want?
I would like a Mac! That would be nice...but our PC is great! Also would love more lenses! They are so addicting! Darrel would like a new camera! I love that you use your purse...I use my diaper bag a lot. I actually read some where that using a diaper bag all the time was a good idea since it's less likely to get stolen.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea! I am totally gonna look at diaper bags now:)
