tammy lee - "what's in your bag"

In April, when I dropped my beloved Nikon D70 and all my exposures turned pink, I upgraded to the D90. Combined with my 35mm 1.8G, it is the perfect setup. 

I also have the following lenses, 70-300, 55-200, and 18-105, but I would trade them all for the 105mm macro. I definitely have macro envy.

My newest obsession is my iphone4 with Hipstamatic. It has inspired my i365, a light-hearted 365 focusing on the little things in life that make me smile.

With that said, the cameras themselves may not be as nice as the bag itself... a fabulous Epiphanie LOLA camera bag in black that was a gift, for absolutely no reason, from my dear friend Farah.  Yes, I cried.

We have come to the end of our "what's in your bag" series. As you have read over the past nine weeks, the Canon vs. Nikon rivalry continues.  Michel and I, with our Nikons, are definitely outnumbered.

Please take a moment to share with us what you shoot with and visit us tomorrow on the new MORE MUSING page. We will be announcing the next series, which starts on Monday, involving...YOU!

Canon Rebel T1i (aka EOS 500D)

24-70mm f/2.8 is my most used lens

35mm f/1.4 is my favorite lens. What amazing pictures you can get from this lens, but I can't seem to give up my zoom!

I also have a Canon SD1100 Elph that I try to keep with me at all times, because you never know what photo ops might present themselves.

I edit using Photoshop Elements, just upgraded from 5 to 8.

Most of my photos are taken with the Panasonic Lumix GF1, 20mm pancake lens.

...and very occasionally with my hubby's beauteous Canon 5D Mark II.

...and once in a while, my Motorola RAZR.

I do covet a larger format camera for my very own, but the GF1 suits my on-the-go lifestyle.  Photography is a means to tell a story and the tool itself is just a tool.

That said, one of these days I'm gonna have me a big ol' Canon (love Nikon, but want to share my hubby's sweeeeet lenses).  I use Photoshop for editing.

Here's what in my bright red camera bag:

I shoot primarily with a Canon EOS Digital Rebel Xsi. I use the 18-55mm kit lens, the 50mm f/1.8 (my favorite), and the 55-250mm telephoto zoom lens. Also, I have a cheap wireless remote.

When I want to travel light, I put my Nikon Coolpix S550 digital point-and-shoot in my pocket. I also play with underwater disposable film cameras, a 1980s era Pentax film point-and-shoot, and my old Brownie holiday flash. Oh, and the cell phone camera always works in a pinch.

It's all good! Use what you have, and the rest will follow.

I’ve been using my Canon Rebel XSi since July 4th last year

.

I have two kit lenses 18-55 & 55-250.

But my fav lens that’s almost always on my camera is my nifty-fifty 1.8

I also play with hipstamatic on my iPhone.

In my vintage camera collection is an old Pentax spotmatic with a 55mm ƒ1.8 Super-Takumar lens.

My nephew recently tried it out and loaded it up with B&W film for me to try out. While he had it he gave it a proper studio sitting.

My computer is old as dirt and slow as molasses in January and I run Photoshop Elements 4 on it for my post-processing work.

I use an Olympus e-p1
pancake lens 20 mm 1.7
kit lens of 14-42mm
45-200mm

I also use hipstamatic on my iPhone.

For post-processing, I am just discovering the wonders of Lightroom and am being taught how to use Photoshop Elements by my very patient husband. Camera Bag is also a wonderfully easy way to start playing around with images.

That said, I find myself looking at Nikon cameras online on a daily basis and it's my birthday soon.....
