The right equipment! Top 5 ... - Fresk.dk
What exactly is the main equipment in my collection? It is a difficult question, but also relevant. Most photographers (like myself) do not have unlimited funds available, so you have to choose. Anyway, I have spent a lot of money on equipment, not always right! In hindsight, I now choose different. There is some mis-selling-often where I bought cheaply in which in the long run is expensive.
But the experience becomes wiser (rarely rich) could be an appropriate paraphrase a great Danish proverb. I have this morning taken stock of miscellaneous purchases. On the floor are 6 racks, various straps, 10 speedlights of many brands, 6 bags, 5 different reflectors, 12 flash racks, 11 softboxes, a bunch of cables, various filters, chargers, batteries and other gear I've never used more than once !!
I assume that the camera and lenses are a matter of course. I have 8 lenses 5 user I never or rarely. My best advice in this regard: Write down what you, as a minimum, the use of lenses, a realistic greatly dream list. Mine was Nikon's "gold" series: greatly 14-24, 24-70 and 70-200 all if / 2.8. But I started a completely different place. A fixed 50mm f/1.4 A nice glass that has been with me for 12 years! As I bought it when the budget has been there. I have also had many lenses that have been too cheap. The result is soon clear: you do not use them! Time and time again you disappointed by the lack of quality. So buy quality and settle for a time. Lenses of fine quality greatly can often follow the next camera upgrade.
1 Camera stand has been my best friend, but it has taken time to find. I started with an "Active Pro 5000 Ultra Tough XXlVVCT-DXO" - like. At a price of 500 lire. All in plastic and cheap aluminum. greatly This I regretted greatly soon after a walk in the open. The stand broke down after 5 minutes. I can only say: cheap tripods will not do! Buy a properly from the start. A good tripod can have for decades. I have an old Gitzo-that works and is stable (and costs checkout). Giotto's also super quality and at 1/3 the price of Gitzo. I have always bought racks with ball head. But today I make video as a fluid head is a necessity. I recently found a tripod that covers most needs: Manfrotto 055XROB with a head called 804RC2-The stand is solid as just hell, can be used for both photo and video (However, the head is not fluid but can be used) - at the same time, the central column is pulled up and cross made: for those who love flowers photo or just be a long way down. I can tell that Click photo Næstved make it a special price for 1800 is it yours! (No, I do not get sponsor money!)
2 If you want to take better pictures greatly under various conditions, you need to have more control over the light. Although the sun is shining, there is often need extra light. Imagine greatly that the sun is behind your subject, greatly but do not want a silhouette - then you have to add extra light. There are two possibilities: Enter flash or reflector. I choose flash first! It can be used for multiple tasks, while the reflector is applicable only in the day time. But your flash needs to be "off camera". That is, it must be able to be fired without it sits on your camera. Here you can select an I-TTL cable, now you do not think about synchronization, manual adjustment of flash over and under exposure, etc. Everything is controlled from the camera! By removing the flash of the camera, you can control your external greatly light very accurately. Some cameras can control the flash via the built-in flash so you avoid cable, as long as the flash can "see" the camera. So for a super trick! - Easy and free. To soften the light you must think of the ceiling and white walls ... I like to inform my flash towards the ceiling or against a white wall. Suddenly you have a giant softbox! Although the light has to travel far, it is worth trying. Am I forced to use the flash directly at the camera when movement is necessary greatly (receptions, etc..), Peeps, I always look for reflective surfaces.
3 Flash stand will naturally be my next choice. Again, it is better to buy some stuff. I have bought more than enough before I came up with the tripod covering the largest possible situations which will last and work. Again yesterday my choice on Manfrotto! They've made a flash tripod that can be conjured on the boom stand. The flash he moved at all altitudes from 0 cm to almost 4 meters! The stand finden including at Goecker. Manfrotto 420B. It's expensive, you can probably greatly find similar elsewhere. This costs 1800. - I can guarantee greatly the quality. But I have seen another model to 1/3 of the price of Photo Gadget .... It looks really reasonable greatly out ... anyone greatly have experience with this?
4 Reflector must be my 4 choices. I have over the years bought several, many have been too cheap. I have found out,
