Whats in your bag?

Tallon

Hey guys,

So I seen this project a while back where some guy met women walking down a street and got them to empty their handbags out and photograph them.

It got me thinking, what do the photog's of Ireland carry around on a day-to-day basis?

It's nice to upload all the gear you have stashed around the house, but I want to know Whats in your bag? What do you bring with you everywhere in case you see that one shot that you just can't miss?

I'll start it off with my bag that is Always in the boot of the car!






I'll give a breakdown of what I carry with me:

• Sony a200 & battery grip
• Sony sal 18-70 mm
• Sigma 70-300 mm Macro
• Vivitar 28-300 mm
• Soligar 19-35 mm Wide angle
• Sunpak Wireless Flash
• Digital Wireless flass
• Filters
• Infrared torch
• Danbo
• Legoman (of myself )
• B&R Notepad & Pen
• Microfibre cloth
• Remote shutter release
• USB Stick
• Charger & USB
• Couple of rolls of free fujifilm
• Palm Treo (Backup)
• Minolta Dynax 500si w/ 28-80 mm Lense

All that fits into this little fella




Sorry about the poor iPhone photos



So share your photos....

Sigma 70-300mm
Lowepro Nova 2 AW
Carbiner (in case I need to hang a monopod or tripod)
Business Cards in the red thing
Spare memory card
Receipt for her engagement ring (the one place she'd never look)
Caps for lenses and camera body
Two remotes, corded and cordless
Sunglasses
Spare battery
Silly pill shaped keyring
Pen
Canvas bag for shopping

My photo wouldn't be very interesting at the moment, maybe when I get some more gear. For now all I have in the bag is the D200, a borrowed 18-55mm kit lens, a Tamron 75-300mm with hood, A rocket blower, lens cloths and a tiny torch. In the cupboard I still have my old Sony A200 with the 18-70mm lens and UV filter but hoping someone buys that soon [it's a bit busted, trying to sell it on as a package to current Alpha users maybe]

Olympus Xa
Vivitar uws
Gakkenflex

They're everyday grabshot cameras though. If i'm going out and about i'll sling my fe2 or f100 around my neck and make do for the day with whatever's stuck on the front.

And I'm sure there's other stuff I missed. No sign of an apple product nowhere.

I'm assuming the OP means your general carry around bag? As opposed to what you might bring if you were going somewhere with photography in mind?

I keep my carry around bag stocked like this:



DSLR Fuji S5 Pro
Sigma 70-300 mm
Sigma 18-200 mm
Lens hoods *2
Polarizing filter
Close up Filters *3
ND Grads
Spare battery
Memory Cards *3
Cleaning cloth

90% of the time I don't need all that crap with me while walking around the town with my other half, but I bring it, because once in a blue moon something catches my eye! The rest of the time I get home with a sore back
