Camera Case – Unloaded
Camera Case - Unloaded
Image by fensterbme
I get a decent number of questions asking me what I shoot with, do I use X or Y or whatever... so to make it easier I recently just took a photo of what's in my camera case, and then dumped it out so folks could get an idea of what tools I use (admittedly some more than other's).
If you dump out my camera case... this is what falls out. Too see what it looks like packed inside see this photo.

Tech Details: If your curious how one takes a photograph of all of one's photo gear the answer is you borrow a friends camera from down the street (a Rebel XT/350D with a Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L lens).
Lighting provided by one White Lighting X1600 to camera right difused through a large softbox, with Westcott 42" Silver reflector to camera right to just bring in some fill light. A short roll of White Savage Seamless just hanging off the knuckle arm of an Avenger C-Stand (easier and quicker than getting out a big background stand). Triggered by a good ole-fashioned sync cable connected to a Nikon AS-15 on the hot shoe since the RebelXT/350D lacks a PC Sync connector.

Maybe its time to switch to Nikon?
Don’t forget "donate all your Canon gear to some poor guy"
Do you think you will upgrade the Macro lens?
WOW – gear porn at its fineset. Amazing collection!
What..? No partridge in a pear tree?!? HAha! I always love these gear posts.
whoo !!!! amazing collection. i’m jalous
Canon corporation must be happy, with people and a such (expensive) collection….
I think this needs to be flagged NSFW Bryan.
nothing else?
can i have one, please?
hihi-haha.
Sweet.
Ok so what are you like a millionaire?
Damn dude.
$$$
@Phil Romans: I don’t think I’ll ever upgrade the macro lens… I love my existing macro lens and it’s already razor sharp…
The new 100mm L macro isn’t really any sharper and I think stabilization on a macro lens is kinda silly. I mean a lot of my macro’s are on a tripod because I’m shooting f/18 to f/32, so four stops isn’t going to buy me nearly enough to eliminate the tripod. It’s also probably my least used lens.
@-Edward-: Ok so what are you dude, myopic?
… the gear has more than paid for itself. So I don’t have a problem paying for gear if that camera gear can make me money.
im droooooooooooling.

Seen in the interestingness archives. (?)
wowowowowow! Can i carry your case?
Nice arsenal.
What I See Here is a Well Managed Camera(s) Case That any desent Photographer Would Love to Have.I Have Shot All Around the World.and Never Had the Time to arrange any of My Gear in Such Nice Way…I Take My Hat Off to Any One This Neet.Ben Wells,
amazing set (sorry I’m Nikon);p!
Wowzers! Heck of an arsenal you have here!
@mylobukit: Like it’s hard to find 10 min to clean up a case? Not saying I’m always tidy, just a simple moment in time (that’s kinda how photographs work) where things were…
holy crap, i bet that lot cost a fair whack!!
Just curious, in all of your gear shots I see no lens hoods. Do you not use them at all or are they stored in a separate case? I can never seem to fit the lens and hood into my bag.
@Derek Dirks: I own hoods for all of my lenses, but I only use them on some lenses. I store most of my hoods reversed on the lens hey connect too… some lenses have weird shaped hoods and I just stuff them some place else (I like to stick them around the back end of the 70-200mm which usually has some extra space).
I use hoods primarly to protect the lens, but also to reduce flair… I refuse to use UV filters as they suck and degrade the image quality.
great stuff man
congratulations for the explore
FU¬~@!
oh wow. D:
i’m utterly jealous. ha
how much does this motherlode weigh??????????????
I think something is missing… I don’t know which one.
