26 Feb What's in Her Bag: Marilyn Edwards
My camera bag is a backpack with rolling wheels, and handle up top, which works well for me. I am not sure of the make, but I do know it is not marketed as a camera bag. I lined the interior with padding to protect my equipment.
I am still searching for a stylish bag to meet all of my needs, especially to replace the backpack for formal sessions, such as weddings. I am currently eying the Libby, and Jude, by Kelly Moore.
For outdoor sessions, this is what you will find in my bag:
1. Camera: Nikon D3S, and backup: Nikon D600
2. Lenses: Nikon 70-200 mm f2.8, Sigma 85 mm f1.4, and Sigma 24-70 mm f2.8
3. Accessories: Hoodman (love this tool on bright sunny days), reflector, speed light, extra batteries and cards for camera, business cards, water bottle, and phone.
4. If sessions involve children or babies, I am sure to have candy, a noisemaker, and small toys, Band-Aids, Kleenex, and Motrin.
5. Quite often my bag acts as a place to house my keys. I learned years ago not to keep my keys in my pocket, as I was known for losing (and searching for) them. I also sometimes keep clients’ keys, sunglasses, and even baby pacifiers!
6. Lastly, but certainly not least, my notebook. I use my notebook for session reviews with clients, to ensure I capture all of the shots my clients have mentioned in consultation as priority in their vision. I love all of my tools.
