20-AUG-2004

August 20, 2004

Tomorrow morning I shoot my first Bar Mitzvah. I've come up with the idea of stuffing my heavy camera bag into my carry-on sized rolling suitcase. It fits with room for two SB-800s and a flash bracket. Unfortunately the small tripod doesn't fit, so I'll have to carry both tripods. Also, threw the gray card in the photo for fun. I set the gray point in Nikon Capture by clicking on the gray card. Just a hair too cold for my taste, but pretty close, so I adjusted the color automatically in PS and that's what I went with.

Nikon D70 ,Nikkor 24mm f/2.8D AF
1/15s f/4.0 at 24.0mm iso1600 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Great way to haul this stuff. Good 'hunting' on your photoshoot.

All seems to be allright here. I have many bags of different sizes, all depends how many cameras and lenses I wann carry and in what confitions. On the bike I just use a single for the D70.
This bags turn quite heavy too soon if you take all of it.

I have reconfigured a new PC and registered PS plugins yesterday and day before and made a rework of one of your SP's, looks good and posted it today. It's there :http://www.pbase.com/image/32819621

Very nice setup. You look ready to go. I hope tomorrow's shoot goes well.

I second the good luck tomorrow, Mark. I like the idea of the rolling suitcase for all the gear.

That looks like a Tamrac bag, the Pro 10? I have that one ;) It's my medium sized bag (I also have the Pro 13 that I never carry anymore because it's just too big, and the 606 Zoom Traveller as my small bag for carrying light :D) Nice set up you have, and cool idea about putting it in the carry-on! GOOD LUCK with shooting the Bar Mitzvah!
