General Wedding Chit Chat Thread... (Part 2)

ha ha!

Always count on Mike...

Here's a new subject..what do you guys carry your cameras in..hard or soft bags? slings or equipment bags?

I carry everything in a Lowepro Magnum AW. It's huge & it's heavy. It is used to transport my stuff to and from a wedding. During the wedding day it usually sits in the back of the church, in my trunk or near the DJ's table.

Lisa, depends on what I'm doing.
If I'm on a shoot I bring my PRO 12 shoulder bag with everything in it. I
If I'm just walking around I have the Slingshot 200 AW which holds 3 lens, body, flash, and some accessories.
I have a minitrekker for hiking so I can hook a tri-pod up.

Lowepro bag..its a bit snug. 30D, 17-55,50 1.4, 70-200 2.8, and a flash...and all the cards and extra batteries on the outside pocket..

ROFL - you think spiders are bad? I'll try to find a real creepy crawly next time...this is the land of the disgusting, huge and poisonous


Lisa - Depends on what I'm doing. At the weddings and the couples hoots I've carried my new, pretty Crumpler bag that I love. I also have various smaller bum bags by Lowepro and some shoulder bags depending on how much I want to carry. So far, the Crumpler (6 MDH) is better than almost all of my other ones for what I need.

I also have a Canon $40 backpack that will take a whole boatload of gear and I use that if I am going to be walking any significant distance or over rough terrain. I loved it so much I bought a second one.

yeah, I carry in about 3 bags...one backpack, and two tamron bags..

I need to get something BIGGER...

They have bigger models than the 12. Some include spots for laptops and such.

Guess, I need to start looking...I look like a bag lady going in and out of the church LOL..but you NEVER know what you will need...I tend to be prepared!

Let me know when you're done, it'd be interested to have a play. I'd probably just add the zoomy effects to proshow, it'd be easier.

Will do

For me this is about saving workflow double-up ... Showit's web shows are unbeatable for speed, quality and elegance. Otherwise I'd just work in ProShow

I have this big a$$ backpack that I bought on EBay for $50. It fits EVERYTHING I own (except the off camera lights - got another bag for those) I'm at work right now and our tight a$$ proxy doesn't allow ebay, but here's the same thing on Amvona (just a bit more expensive):

Do a search on EBay for "camera backpack" and I'll bet you'll find it for less.


That sucker is HEAVY when fully loaded, so i tend to leave it in the car these days and carry what I need in my oh-so-sexy chestvest.

(He, he, Belemondo approved the word a$$ for use)

Hope that helps...my work blocks everything.
