Just another photographer/videographer who blogs

Every job needs a different set of tools. Tomorrow I am going out to a demonstration in Copenhagen. It is just me and a friend. Here is a picture of (part) of my kit: I am packing the pro fashion bag. Lovely little bag. In the bag I have my 60D, 50 mm, 28-105 and my fisheye. I'm picking up a mic tomorrow, mine is having issues. I have a friend with me who is carrying my tripod and he has the hero3 on the UK pole. I'm also bringing a strap, my iPad and gear go strap my self down, if we need to go on one of the boats at the demonstration. And of course sunglasses. 

When I go shooting, I have different setups for different types of situation. I have tested out what I need for most everyday situations.  For an example, tonight I was shooting a little video. I had to shoot a train getting in to the station. It was dark and I knew I did not have any way to set up lights. Fortunately the station was lit up by ambient light.  I placed my self a couple of hundred meters (yes, I'm european, I use meters) away from the station and started setting up. My set up was a borrowed Manfrotto Grupo tripod from the 90's, my Koolertron slider, 60D, 28-105 and 50 mm lens. Here is a picture of the setup:  I apoligize for the quality of the photo, it was taken with my nokia. But anyway, I used my slider with my vanguard as a jib. NOT AN EASY MOVE! But I managed. Another type of set up I have, is a journalism set up. This set up is basic. My 60D, 28-105, Røde mic and shoulder rig. This is extremely run and gun, but it really gets the job ...
