My Camera Gear/Bag

o, it's Friday, which means this week has gone by too quickly, again!! 


I hope you all are enjoying this fabulous Spring weather!!  We've been getting our garden tilled, raked and all smooth to plant this weekend!  We are SO excited!  Del LOVES being in the garden and getting weeds out, we think this will probably be the last year he enjoys it before he realizes it's a chore!  :)

As I've been getting busier with photographer, I'd thought I'd share with all of you what's in my camera bag!

Way back when, Ry and I did research between Canon and Nikon and we were on the fence as to which body to go with.  We chose Canon and haven't been sorry yet!  Both are great and honestly I bet we'd be just as happy with Nikon. 

This is my main camera bag!  LOVE THIS BAG!!!  It has a pull out handle, which is perfect for traveling and with wheels it makes it so much better!  There are so many compartments also for batteries, battery packs, chargers, etc!
This in the inside of it, it's a little messy!!  But I know exactly where everything is!

So, my first SLR was a Rebel XTi.  I still use this camera for our personal memories.  I remember being sooo in love with this camera many, many years ago and just could not imagine shooting with anything else.  Even with the pop up flash, I was so happy!  Ha, to look back at that is hilarious to me now!  I cannot imagine shooting with a pop up flash anymore now that I love the 580EX ii.  We also have 430EX flash, I cannot remember if it's just EX or ii...but either way, it's SO much nicer having an external flash!

We  then bought the 40D.  Ry LOVED the body on this one, me not so much - at first!  I still loved my Rebel and how small it was. 
This lens I use the MOST!  This is the Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8 L.  Love it!!!!!  It's wonderful on my 5D Mark II, lovely fish eye affect!
Two years ago we bought 5D Mark II, now this is wonderful!  I wish I would have waited for the Mark III but I can't imagine shooting without my II the last couple of years.  I wish the shutter was quieter but overall it's a pretty good body!  I love the video quality from this camera also!!

For lenses, I shoot mainly with my cheap prime lens (still undecided about which one I want to buy) and the 16-35 pictured above.

I don't use this lens as much as I did for weddings, but it is a very nice lens!  This is the 70-200mm F/4.0L.



5D Mark ii on the left and 40D on the right.  These are the two bodies you'll see me with at a shoot!!

Oh and I also carry a Shootsac by the fabulous Jessica Claire!

Have a fabulous weekend!!
