It was more than overdue to update the part of this website that’s called “What’s In The Camera Bag?”. I haven’t done that in a long time and since there have been a few changes and additions in the gear locker, I quietly made some updates during the last couple weeks. When photographers meet, like with friends of the Dubuque Camera Club, there is always a chance that photography gear or post process solutions will be discussed. It boils down to the question, what tool can be used to solve a particular problem in the process of creating a good image? My website has always been about sharing ideas and help others to make decisions about what piece of gear makes sense for their style of photography. My ratings are not the result of comparison with other brands or intensive testing under lab conditions, but rather reflect the experience I gained by using the equipment in the field. As always, the gear list can be accessed by clicking on the “What’s In The Camera Bag?” image in the side bar of my blog. If you like to check it out right now, here is a shortcut into the “CAMERA BAG”.
GEAR TALK: UPDATED GEAR LIST
I have quietly updated my gear list here on the website during the last few days.
I didn’t buy a lot of new gear lately but added some items that were previously missing. I do not like to rave about a new tool in the camera bag or write a negative statement until I have used a piece of photography gear for some time and can voice my opinion with facts that evolved from time spent behind the camera or from actively using the equipment. My gear list is here to help other photographers to find the right tools for their own photography and is not influenced and sponsored by any of the brands I mention. Feel free to check it out!
TWO NEW THINGS
A few days ago I told you I was working on a new piece of photography gear and that I was in the process of testing it. So here it is, a flash bracket that mounts to the food of a long lens and elevates the speed light above the lens barrel. It allows to turn the camera quickly by 90 degree with the flash still remaining above the lens. Yes, there are tons of flash brackets out there. Some are very flimsy and some of the better ones are very expensive. I enjoy building stuff out of wood or metal and designing and building this piece of gear was a fun little “winter project”.
There is another addition I like to introduce today and you can find it right here on my website. Since a long time I wanted to add a gear page to this website and if you click on the link in the side bar of this blog, it will direct you right to it. Please feel free to check it out!
