2: The Kit

The Kit. Aaaaah The Kit. Most of the images on my website were taken with a Canon 350d I bought way back in 2007. This is where it all started. (Be sure to check out my personal site for a remainder of the images, whilst I build up the new site.) I had been meaning to start photography for a while and a chance meeting with a new work colleague started the fire. Digital has made it so much more accessible and I just went out and messed around, Im still messing around, I think I experimented more then than I do now.

Aaaaaanyhooooo. The Kit.

My job has allowed me to buy some kit and I still need more. I can't afford any more, anymore but I became addicted to getting equipment, not that that makes you any better I just wanted it. You can get good results and I've seen good results with less equipment than I have. As someone once said to me. 'All The Gear & No Idea'

So...The Kit :

Canon 5D MKII - Which Has Given Me No End Of Problems Compared To My Trusty 350D
Some ND Filters
50mm 1.8 Canon (Cheap Lens)
24-105 Canon L Series Lens
Remote Release Cable
Elinchtom D-Lite 4 Studio Kit
2x 140cm Elinchrom Quadras (Which W-Express Gave Me For £500 Cheaper Due To A Mistake) I've Used These Once. I Thought If They Were Good Enough For Rankin. I'll Ave Em.
2x Elincrom BxRi 500's
1x Elinchrom Deep Octa. Doubles As A Large Beauty Dish.
2x 20deg Reflectors & Grids
White & Black Paper Rolls With Background Supports
Boom Arm
Couple Of Stands
Couple Of Small Stands
Some Large Insulation Boards Painted Black & Silver
Duct Tape, Masking Tape, Clips
Sekonic Light Meter

Now. If somebody wants to tell me how I use all this, please let me know..I'd like to get a few more cheap modifiers but time will tell.

So that's the equipment in full I think & I have no real excuse for not getting great shots,I'm working on that.
