Organising my next set of workshops, week in QT in a few weeks too that should be fun.

Congrats... I have a new camera bag I bought off the internet. It looked bigger than it is in real life.

I hate it when that happens. Can you put it back on the internet?


I have been trying to find a backpack that doesn't look like a camera backpack.

^^^ No not really I waited weeks for it to come from some place called China!
It will do the job... just. Maybe I could put some L lenses in the lathe and trim a bit off the sides?

yea what did you do. I hope you didn't delete them because a photographer was complaining about photos showing up on a photography forum

... weeeell yes the comment did throw me a bit particularly when I saw my post contained only empty boxes. I suspect a Flickr fault so I deleted the pics and posts from here. Smilies would help understanding irony/satire at times.

But here are some more pix. I been reading the posting rules, and am confused, only allowed 2 pics per thread? However, I must admit I do often get confused!

I've been trying to get an INCASE DSLR backpack, I borrowed one for a recent trip and fully loaded, would have been about 12-15kgs (macbook, 2x 5D, 3x lens, chargers, batteries, documents etc) and no issues at the airport and doesn't scream camera bag.

I also bought one of those internet back pack things. With the same outcome. Although, I'm not completely dissatisfied. This is the one I bought:

$80 ish landed in NZ. For a chinese product it seems very very well constructed, and half or even quarter the price of something similar from lowepro.

So far I've stuffed a 5d, 16-35, 70-200, and 50 prime in the main compartment, and a flash and some other bits in the other. Hoping to fit another body and lens in the main compartment, and somehow squeeze in a couple more flashes.

It also doesn't give you much indication it's a camera backpack, and main compartment opens from the front which is a nice security feature.

PS, my name is Aaron and I seem to be addicted to buying photography things recently
