I have been requested a number of instances what sort of digicam gear I take advantage of for my canine images so I made a decision to put in writing it down. As with nearly something, good gear makes issues run extra easily. No exception with images. Now, I am a Nikon shooter. But it surely has been my expertise that within the images world, it relies upon solely on who you ask as to which model is healthier; Nikon or Canon. I’ll say this, they each have strengths and weaknesses, they each are nice cameras they usually each have nice lenses. So, I believe it is a matter of non-public opinion. When you ask me, I’d inform you I shoot with Nikon and I’m very pleased with Nikon and I do not suppose I’ll ever change, that does not imply I will not, however it’s most unlikely.

Now, I’ll introduce you to my Photography equipment singapore;

The primary, and most beloved, is my Nikon D300 digicam physique named Buddy

The second is my Nikon 18-200 VR lens named Bud

The third is my Nikon SB-900 Speedlight named Buddy’s Buddy (I named him that as a result of nobody loves him however me and Buddy. He blinds everybody else)

My three new cameras and lenses are Chico, Dud, & Tomas. Chico is a D5000 digicam physique, Dud is an 18-55 VR lens, Tomas is a 70-300 VR lens, and, except for Bud, he’s my favourite lens.

My favourite mixture of digicam & lens for canine images is the D300 and 70-300 VR, and for an throughout, basic objective, do-most-jobs, digicam combo for me is the D300 with the 18-200 VR with the SB-900 Speedlight. (I shot a complete marriage ceremony with this arrange)

Now, why go along with a D300, I began my images profession with the D300 with the 18-200 VR and I should say not a greater camera-lens combo ever existed. The D300 has a lot versatility in all types of lighting its nearly head spinning, the low noise ISO could be very unimaginable. Many instances I’ve taken very good photos of deer within the scant faint mild early within the morning with a excessive ISO with the publicity compensation set pretty excessive with very pleasing outcomes. However the D300 is not for everybody, with all of the buttons, switches, and menu choices, it takes a bit time to get used to it and grasp it. However when you grasp it, the outcomes are properly value it.

On the 18-200 VR lens, the shear versatility zoom energy is motive sufficient to purchase it. One factor I really like in regards to the zoom energy is the truth that I solely must take one lens to do the job which may take two or three lenses. Additionally I really like the VR (vibration discount) capabilities, a number of instances I turned off the VR change and tried to take a number of photos and the distinction is thoughts boggling.

I bought the 70-300 VR lens as a flexible semi telephoto lens for a really moderately worth, and consequently, it’s one in every of my favourite lenses. Once more just like the 18-200, its versatile, excessive energy, and huge zoom lens, I can take detailed photos of deer at 100 yards with it and I haven’t got to lug round an 8lb, 15 inch lens all day.

The one motive I bought the 18-55 VR is it got here with the D5000 digicam and lens package and it was solely $100 however I discovered it got here in useful when my mother wished to shoot with it once I wish to shoot with my D300 and 18-200 lens. On the D5000, it is an awesome backup digicam and that is what I purchased it for. The D5000 is a small, compact, easy, and it takes an excellent image.

Now, I will introduce you to my digicam baggage and backpacks. They’re all Lowepro, I’ve used a number of totally different manufacturers however none have happy me as a lot as Lowepro; they’re robust, properly constructed, versatile, properly padded, the backpacks have nice harnesses, throughout good high quality merchandise. I’ve the;

Rolling Laptop Trekker AW, Rolling Backpack
Dryzone Rover Hydration System, Waterproof Backpack
Nova 2 AW, Shoulder Bag

I selected the rolling pc trekker as a result of it’s a rolling backpack, an enormous benefit for photographing canine exhibits and locations the place you do lots of strolling on comparatively flat surfaces, and it will possibly go on the airplane plus it will possibly carry a tripod. The rolling trekker is what I name my “base camp” the place all my gear stays once I’m not utilizing them. I take advantage of the Dryzone Rover and the Nova for “discipline journeys” the Dryzone is used primarily for my again woods journeys the place I would like extra issues apart from digicam gear. The Dryzone is a brand new addition to my arsenal and I am nonetheless placing it by means of its paces. My Nova is used for little journeys and holding the primary digicam gear with me if I would like to go away my resort room or one thing.

A tip for the baggage I talked about above; once I go to exhibits, I take the rolling trekker to the present web site and set up “Base Camp” then I take the Nova out on “Subject Journeys” and I am now utilizing the Dryzone for weekend journeys out into the backwoods, the Dryzone’s digicam compartment is sufficiently big to take all my digicam gear and spare batteries & reminiscence playing cards, plus, its waterproof. The Dryzone has two compartments, the highest half is for basic objects like meals and spare socks plus the Hydration water reservoir that got here with the pack. The underside compartment is the waterproof digicam compartment, the gear organizer inside is admittedly ergonomically formed and I can match two digicam our bodies, two lenses, and one Speedlight with spare batteries & reminiscence playing cards with even a bit room left over.
