How much crap do I take to a photo shoot?
- 4 cameras (2 digital, 2 film)
- 8 lenses (and a bunch of lens hoods)
- 5 rolls of 35mm film
- 2 8GB compact flash cards
- 3 batteries for the digital cameras
- 1 spare 2CR5 battery for the film cameras
- 8 AA rechargeable batteries
- 3 strobes + power cords (no spare bulbs! eek!)
- 2 flashes
- 1 light meter
- 2 sync cords
- 2 umbrellas
- 1 softbox
- 1 reflector
- 1 reflector holder
- 3 12’ light stands
- 1 4’ background light stand
- 1 backdrop stand (bonus: 2 additional light stands)
- 2 large backdrops
- 1 small hand-painted backdrop (for portraits only)
- 1 tripod
- 1 17” laptop
- 1 usb card reader + usb cable
- 1 multi-outlet extension cord
- 1 buttload of clamps, clips, and lightstand attachment doodads
- 1 box full of filters, step-up/down rings, and other filter gadgets
Overkill? Probably. And I’m sure I’m forgetting something.
