What kind of equipment do you use in photography? Three Lenses like :12mm,18-55mm,28-105mm,75-300m... cameras,two flashes,Filters like: Circular Polarizar,UV filter,Expodisc White Balance Filter(this filter was very important for correction lightings and colour balanings),Camera Bag,Professional Tripod,memory cards like SD or compact flash,Photography's Sleeve. Photography is more and more turning to digital, but many professional photographers still use their traditional SLR cameras. In addition to cameras, you need lights - several different types, plus reflectors, light meters, and, if you plan on processing your own film, a darkroom with the chemistry and equipment that is required for that step of the photo process. uhhh camera film tripod for landscapes flash, only sometimes fish eye, zoom, macro, and regular lenses and then an extra battery if its cold The equipment I've used has changed quite a bit over time, and depending on the application. I started out with a Pentax 35mm SLR and did most of my shooting for the first few years with just the 50mm "standard" lens. I took the camera on trips and tried to get "interesting" pictures. I mostly shot in Kodachrome 64 slide film. Later, I moved to an Olympus 35mm SLR, and got a small collection of lenses, including a 28mm wide angle lens, the 50mm "standard", and an 85mm "portrait" lens. I also got a zoom lens, I think it was a 70-210 Vivitar lens. I started getting into taking portraits of people, outside with natural light. I eschewed flash or artificial light at that time. Generally, I used the 85mm lens for this work, and sometimes the zoom. I took head shots for musicians, and fashion/glamour shots of pretty girls. Whenever I traveled, I tried to go as light as possible, and often just took the 28mm lens so the camera would fit in a waist bag (remember when those were cool? Or were they ever cool?) I still shot on K64 most often, or B&W like Kodak PlusX for the portraits. I then learned how cool rangefinder cameras were, and got a Contax outfit with four lenses: 21mm, 35mm, 45mm and 90mm. I mostly shot scenic photos, or travel, etc. I got into a camera club and was competing in the club competitions in various categories. I started using Photoshop and doing my own printing with an Epson 1280. I got a Nikon LS4000 film scanner to scan the slides. I was mostly shooting on Fuji Velvia at that time. Before my daughter was born, I bought an inexpensive Canon digital camera (A10) so that I could post pictures of her on a web site for family and friends. In that process, I really got a feel for how quick and easy it was to use a digital camera. But the quality was not great (1.3MP, point and shoot). At the same time, I wanted to do more serious portraiture so I felt that a medium-format camera was the best tool, and some professional lighting equipment. I bought a Hasselblad camera with three lenses (50mm, 80mm 120mm) and then some Calumet monolights, with soft boxes, reflectors, modifiers, etc. And I got a canvas background and some other studio stuff. I took a class at that time to learn lighting and posing. I loved the MF camera for the additional detail and phenomenal lenses, and did all types of photography with it, from macro to portraits to landscapes. I had to get a MF film scanner, though, and got a Microtek 120tf. I generally shot on Veliva or Astia color transparency film, or Ilford FP4+ for B&W film that I developed myself and scanned to make prints. Most recently, I sold the Olympus and Contax systems, and purchased a Nikon D200. The lure of digital became too much, especially considering that the quality is now there (when compared to 35mm) and the convenience and control is just awesome. http://www.karlwinkler.com/portrait2.htm... http://www.karlwinkler.com/portrait3.htm... http://www.karlwinkler.com/scenic1.html... http://www.karlwinkler.com/closeup2.html... http://www.karlwinkler.com/other5.html... We do panoramic photography, consequently we use a lot of odd tools to create what we do, and often people ask us how we create what we show. As a result we have on our site links to the various software companies, lense companies and so on that we use from time to time. http://www.panorama-it.com/virtual-tour-... http://www.panorama-it.com/photography-s... |
