Kata DR-4661 Digital Rucksack

I am always on the look out for an amazing camera bag.  And this one is looking pretty amazing because it’s small yet you can pack a ton of stuff into it. Nice soft liners for your lenses and Digital SLR.

Kata DR-466i Digital Rucksack

Priced at $63.58. I like to post cameras and accessories when they are on sale. I will keep an eye on this one to see when it goes on sale, but it seems like a pretty great camera bag even when it’s not on sale!

By removing the padded bottom camera insert you can easily convert this rucksack from a camera bag to a daypack when not shooting. The main compartment holds a D/SLR in top grip position while the modular dividers system will separate, organize and protect lenses, flashes and other accessories to suit your particular needs. The middle separating divider easily zips open for full bag access.The dedicated rear padded compartment will protect a laptop or hold paperwork. The large top compartment will hold personal gear or additional equipment, and the internal pockets and mp3 player pouch will allow you to organize your personal effects as efficiently as your photographic gear. Ample external pockets allow quick zippered access to supplies and a water bottle/ tripod support pocket pulls out from a side pocket. Included rain cover folds neatly away into an integrated pocket and can be hung out to dry on the small buckle next to the handle, or tucked away for storage in one of the pockets. When carrying, a chest belt and balancing waist strap are available for ultimate comfort, and the rucksack is also compatible with the Kata Insertrolley if wheel along transportation is needed.”

Are you thinking about purchasing a backdrop?

Are you thinking about purchasing a backdrop, but think it might be to expensive?

When you think of buying a backdrop you might think big bucks, but really it doesn’t have to be. Check out these photo background Backdrop equipment for under $200 including lights!

Having an easy to set up back drop is pretty great I must say! What I have found works great is buying drapes to use as a back drop. They slide on the bar nicely and don’t wrinkle too bad.  Even if you don’t want to buy the backdrop stand having some black curtains on hand is nice when you want that solid background. They have the loops on them so they hang nicely pretty much anywhere!. Or if you’re crafty head on over to the fabric store and just buy some fabric.  Fold one side over about four inches and sew and walla you have yourself a back drop curtain. Curtains work great!

I have the SP2000 Backdrop Support Stand that I bought for $69.95. List price is $299.95, but it’s 77% off right now.

I think it’s perfect for what I use it for! Taking pictures of my kids usually, but if I am experimenting or taking pictures of whatever it’s nice to have the option of a solid background. Moving the light around trying to get the picture you want with out the sofa in the background is nice!

Plus it doesn’t take up much space once you put it away.  It comes with a bag that everything folds nicely into for easy storage and to carry!

Official Product Description for the SP2000 Backdrop:

Super fast set-uptakes one man less than 5 minutes
Holds canvas, muslin or paper
Telescopic cross bar extends to 10ft.
Stands extend up to 8ft. 6in.

Neewer Collapsible Light Reflector

Neewer 110CM 43" 5-in-1 Collapsible Multi-Disc Light ReflectorI admit I have been buying myself a few too many gifts this holiday season! But when I was putting an order in and saw this Neewer light reflector for only $11.99 I couldn’t resist adding it to the cart!

Last week I took some pictures of the kiddos in the living room while working on our Christmas card. I used a large rectangle cardboard piece of paper to reflect some light back on their face. It worked, but it would keep tipping over or bending in the middle. I just wasn’t connecting with my white piece of cardboard so when I saw this light reflector I just bought it.

Excited to try it since it received such great reviews. It comes in a small tight compact black bag and when you open it…. boom it pops open huge. I took me awhile to figure out how to get it back into the small bag, but once I stopped trying to think my way through it and just let the material fold where it needed to it went right back in!

Official Product Description:

This 5 in 1 collapsible reflector disc Comes with translucent, silver, gold, white, and black five most popular surfaces. Packs into a zip packet. Folds into 12″ carry pouch for easy to carry, durable and flexible steel spring frame insures easy spreading and closing. This reflector fits any standard reflector holders.

 

 

 

Understanding Exposure

I love the way a book feels in my hand. I love curling up on the couch with a cup of tea or a beer depending on the day and the mood. I have accumulated quite a few photography books some not so good some amazing. The ones I pick up at the local library usually make me laugh with the ladies and their big blond hair with colorful leg warmers. But once you get past the 80′s vib the information is still the same. Light still enters our lens and after a certain time we use our shutter speed to take a picture mixed in the ISO and you have a recorded image.

I bought Understanding Exposure by Brayn Peterson 2 years ago. I read the book, but not all the way through. At that time I was trying to figure out the aperture on the triangle, but today I picked it up to read about metering. It is a great book with beautiful pictures. Bryan Peterson is excellent at conveying to the reader exactly how exposure works. He talks about aperture, shutter speed, light and special techniques and filters. Since I bought mine he has newer version of Understanding Exposure  that you might want to check out! Would definitely recommend this book to anyone trying to understand exposure!

Case Logic SLR Sling

This one is pretty cool! A case logic SLR Sling for $46.98 which is 41% savings! That is awesome! I seem to have a thing for camera bags. Not shoes, not purses or a any other kind of shopping, but camera bags.

I have accumulated an odd bunch of them that is for sure. My strangest one was probably a Nintendo bag that I thought would carry one lens perfectly. That was the year my mom shook her head and bought me a Thinktank backpack for Christmas.  Which is pretty stinkin awesome I must say.  Camera bags come in all shapes and sizes and my latest one I think about is a sling back pack.  I am always looking for convenience factor. Especially with kids I want to be able to slide my camera somewhere safe while I open a bag or twist the top off something. Anyway I thought this one was pretty cool!
