Confessions of a Photographer – Episode 06


ZAVENTEM, BELGIUM – I get a lot of questions about the gear I'm using, so I made this video about what's in my camera bag. In the near future I'll show you whats in my lighting case and some other stuff.

    Hi, very very very nice video. I would love to buy all these things in future. I have 40D. What would you recommend to clean a camera lens. I saw many videos saying different things about that. What are your recommendation?

    @whoppers1000
    Check all the reviews on this Lens and you will see that it is a must have lens for any serious photographer.
    I have one on my 40D
    and even though its a heavy piece of kit it looks great, handles great and shoots amazing photos. Very expensive but you do get what you pay for. Any lens with f2.8 or below will be expensive

    maybe that’s why the title of this episode is “what’s in the camera bag?”…

    This is a very boring and uniformative video. All the photographer talks about is the equiptment that he carries. How bout some ideas on how to shoot different assignments.

    dont worry,your not the only poor photographer out there.

    I don’t know how the ppl can ask such question to you. You have 10 000$ equipement something that is not easy to afford for the ppl leaving and working in the poor country , they have to spend their life working for to have the half of those tools. Photography is like a race , if yo uhave the fast car and the skill to drive it , you win -) Very basic very simple..i don’t know why the ppl will be interested by looking at such videos about equipement that someone is speaking about.

    @ Tunefuldork

    I was replying to AchtKore about Bert having a 400mm or a 500mm focal length. I wasn’t talking about the 70-200mm. Did I mention the 70-200 in my comment?

    Keep up. ;)

    whoppers1000 – if you can afford for Canon 70-200 f/2.8, don’t hesitate and buy it!
    Something cheaper is not good idea due to the fact that you’ll get Canon lens anyway in the future.

    can you spare a lense for a poor photographer :’(

    Great equiptment, one day i will have all that stuff…. and a giant debt :)

  13. totyfotos says:

    Great gear… You are a great photographer..

  14. leviet2010 says:

    The canon Canon 70-200 f/2.8 is great for portraits and for those close shots you need, but also a wide angle would be NEEDED! for weddings to fit in big groups of people

  15. whoppers1000 says:

    ? I have a Canon 50d, my question to anyone is, will a Canon 70-200 f/2.8 is be a wise choice for my camera. I like to shoot weddings and general portraits. I’m considering though, the Tokina AF50-135mm f/2.8 (80-210 1.6 crop factor)only because it cost around $569.00 US verses the big price tag of the Canon for about $1600.00

    its not the equipment that makes a good photo. Its the eye. :)

  18. Tunefuldork says:

    @2Thumbs0402 are you kidding me? Long focal length?? It’s a 70-200mm, most portrait/wedding/children photographers own that lens.. I was expecting him to pull out something like a 100-400mm when I seen your comment. The 70-200 is definitely not limited to only shooting wildlife… Keep up!

  19. oneleggedstanley says:

    If it’s not a wide angle lens specifically designed for the 1.6 crop image sensor then it’s basically no good. This is especially apparent when using fisheye lenses designed for the full frame sensor.

  20. niurkarey says:

    Hi, again thank you for your vds. I have a canon 40D, I got the wide 17-40 f/4 however i don’t see that is that wide, maybe because my crop factor 1.6?

  21. 2Thumbs0402 says:

    Why would he need such a long focal length? It’s not like he does wildlife.

  22. arkenstone says:

    its a canon ef lens 15mm f2.8

  23. Sobotiak says:

    Thanks a lot. I am looking forwart to your lighting stuff.

  24. niurkarey says:

    Hi, Im getting a EOS Mark D5 camera. What wide lense would you recomend? Thanks

  25. vepino13 says:

    nah. not that much.
