My shooting kit for journalism

Image
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. 

Shooting a work process

Image
I am a student at a technical high school here in Copenhagen and we do a lot of projects. Usually we do written logs, which is a long, depressing process where we often forget to write things down, which leads to mistakes in our reports (yes, we have big crafting and production projects at a high school level, one of the awesome things here in Denmark). Anyway, I started to do a little something to help us document the process and look back after, timelapse. I have done 4-5 of these at my high school and it is awesome. The way I shoot these timelapses is a little clunky. I have my 60D (sometimes also a GoPro and t2i). The 60D goes into my computer to the EOS utility. I shoot a picture ever either 5-15- or 30th second, depending. I started up by using my 28-105, but today I wanted to change it up, so I used my fisheye. I didn't like the look as much, but it was a very very tight space. Here are a couple of pictures of the setup: This is from todays setup. My 60D, DLC light ...

The gear I use

Being a photographer and videographer, I have a bit of gear. I do not have to top notch gear, but I have what I need to get by on my shoots. This is my current setup:  Canon 60D - Got it used with only 12.000 clicks on the shutter for like 600 USD (which is cheap here in Denmark where it is almost 1700 USD new) Canon 550D - My beloved first camera. I used it until January 2014 and still use it as a backup / second camera.  Canon 28-105 USM - I needed a new lens back in the summer. My beloved 18-55 broke down and I did not have a lot of money. So I got that lens for about 200 USD and have been loving it since. Of course I want to upgrade to some L og cine glas, but I get by.  Canon 50 mm 1.8 - Because.... IT IS GREAT! For no money you get a sharp sharp lens and it is just great for photography. 'nuff said! Samyang 8 mm 3.5 fisheye - Got it back in 2012. It now has scratches on the glas, but when I use it right, you wont notice.  Sigma 70-300 4.5-5.6 - Got ...
