Valho's Imaging Armory
I have never posted my photography gears here, but since I got some new stuff today, thought I'll just make a post of all the gears that I use in my photography ^^
Not in the picture is my Manfrotto tripod, a crumpler sling bag that I use to store my cam and lens when I go out, 2 Sandisk CF card 4gb and 2gb and a wireless remote
Got the umbrella a while back, while the light stand (some china brand one), Manfrotto 026 Lite Tite Swivel + Umbrella Adapter, Manfrotto bag was bought today. Also got myself a Cokin Graduated ND filter kit, with a 67mm adaptor ring.
Manfrotto 026 Lite Tite Swivel + Umbrella Adapter, light stand and flash all attached
Canon EOS 400D, my first DSLR camera, bought it way back in Sept 2007. It's more than 2 years old but still serving me well. Don't have the kit lens it's attached to now though, traded it for something better
My fav lens, the EF 50mm f/1.4, great portrait lens
The only zoom lens in my arsenal and the lens I traded my kit lens for, a Tamron 17-50 f/2.8
A lens any figures shooter must have, EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro, makes a great portrait lens too
Speedlite 580 ex II, great for event hall shoot, strobist or for fill light in outdoor shoot
Phottix wireless trigger and receiver, cheap and works well ^^
Cool stuff. The umbrella is a good deal over say soft boxes. I wish I can get a good tripod set up, but I hardly need a sturdy one, just one that can hold a flash in place.
This reminds me that I still need to get my flash kit set up for my Alpha 900, the high end wireless flash head and use my Vivitar 383 as a wireless slave; I got the stuff for my Maxxum 9000 set(4000 AF, 2800 AF, CG-1000).
I decide to use a proper light stand for flash and umbrella after using it on my tripod a few times and found it not really suitable. Only using 1 flash at the moment for me, might get another 580 ex II in the future
Awesome gear have a good shoot.
thanks ^^
You know, I have the exactly same wireless triggers. They are extremely cheap and never failed on me once. For my job I always use the flashgun on camera, so I'm not really worried that they will break while doing something important. I mostly use them for minor things, or just for non work related shots.
Still, they are working perfectly.
yeah it's cheap and easily replaceable and works well too.
How's the 50mm f/1.4? I've been hearing horror stories of the AF motor conking out since the USM tech on the lens isn't the same as the one on the 100mm f/2.8 Macro.
My to-buy list of lenses are:
85mm f/1.8 USM
100mm f/2.8 Macro USM
70-200mm f/4.0 L USM
yeah I heard about that too before I bought the lens, but decided to take the risk. Mine working fine so far.
The 100mm f/2.8 is a nice lens too.
How much birds you can kill with it o_O?
Nice Pro stuffs. I see now why my photos sucks, I'm so amateur >_<
Birds hmm I wouldn't know xD
Thanks
