For those interested in what kind of photo gear I use, here's a quick look: my main camera is a Nikon D2X and my backup camera body is a Nikon D200. I carry three lenses with me when I'm shooting: a Nikon 1224mm f/4 wide-angle zoom, a 70200mm VR f/2.8 zoom, and a 24120mm VR f/3.5 zoom. I also have a 70180mm f/4.5 macro zoom lens. I use polarizers, split neutral gradient filters, and UV filters. That's it. I use a Nikon SB800 external flash and I have both an Epson P-2000 and P-4000, and an 80-GB LaCie Rugged All-Terrain Hard Drive (as my second backup drive, because I either carry the P-2000 or the P-4000, but not both at the same time). I use a Slik carbon fiber tripod, and a Really Right Stuff BH-55 ballhead (the mother of all ballheads, if you ask me). I use five SanDisk Extreme III CompactFlash memory cards (three 4-GB and two 2-GB cards). Lastly, I lug all this gear around in two ways: on most days I pull (it rolls) a Lowepro Pro Roller 1, but when I want to travel light I use a Lowepro Stealth Reporter D200 AW Shoulder Bag, which works great! |
