What's in My Photography Bag?

I found it! Here is a light I just got in late 2011 at Micro Center. Works great when doing the macro ring shots in a dark place.

Works great for transporting large plastic bins of photo booth props! Folds down nice and small.

Maybe I will get one of these instead of a bigger flash.....hmmmm......

Silver and gold....silver and gold....

I'm thinking about it....maybe 2012.

The back drop holders aren't always super steady. These help keep the whole thing from falling over if somebody crashes into it!

Got some of this to hold the rings for wedding macros. Doesn't work as well as I had hoped!

Never use this thing - good thing it was cheap! I've learned to adjust white balance with gels and Kelvin settings. Paying attention to my histograms works really well, too.

Variety of reflectors and diffuser. Mine has a stand to hold it - in case you are minus an assistant.

I think Kelby and Kubota recommended this one. Need to play with it!

Playing with light...

Got one to change back lighting colors.

The big dog printer - and, not IN my bag....

This is interesting....reminds me of my LED light that I call my mini light saber. Got at Micro Center for $50!

Stephanie Wells oh this is the ice societies light, i saw jerry ghionis use this in a workshop. wow, 500 bucks is steep

My favorite backdrop! Looks great in photos. I use it in my photo booth, too.

I often bring paper parasols to engagement shoots and weddings. They're fun, BUT they also can provide shade when none exists.

Gotta keep those gels on the 580 EX somehow....

Great sales and marketing tool - I take it to weddings with me. I'm going to start keeping photo ideas on it this year. Sometimes, you just need a little inspiration on the go!

Two of these chargers - great when you're getting ready for a wedding!

Expensive - but worth it.

I have a variety of batteries - including some of these.

Lots and lots of these....

Maybe a future buy - for now, I have some cheaper flash and LED lights bought at WalMart and Micro Center.

Great, small and portable. Practice putting together the first time at home!

This works great with my bracket, because it's so short!! I don't have to wrap cable around anything.

Another great book - I learn a lot from Scott Kelby!

Another one of my favorite books - and Kevin Kubota autographed it!

Love this for converting to black and white. And I love how I can do it quickly and easily in Lightroom. ♥

Also not IN my bag - but my favorite for processing photos. I'd never go back to Photoshop. I love Photoshop for other things but not culling or mass post-processing.

So, not in my bag, but it's definitely an important piece of equipment.

For mounting flash and using an umbrella.

This whole series rocks - Scott Kelby is awesome!

Might be another 2012 purchase - I need more lighting options.

One of my favorite books about wedding photography! I've met David - he is a local photographer.

I use this in photo booths due to its large size.

Mine is nicer than this, but I couldn't find it on Amazon.

I like being able to hold onto my camera - which I can do with this small bracket. This bracket allows me to quickly flip my flash - which is all I want to do. Many people don't even notice it and ask me how I can flip my flash - they're always surprised when they finally notice the bracket!

My first bracket - we lost it at one of our first weddings! I upgraded to something else and am now glad I lost it...

This ended up being bulkier than I wanted. I do use for posed photos on the tripod sometimes. I like that I can mount two flashes.

I mostly use the orange gels. But I sometimes use red or blue when I back light the first dance.

I often use this as a light stand for my flash. Great in photo booths.

How I carry half my gear - too much stuff for one bag!

This is on my flash a lot.

I think this diffuser works pretty well.

We've got two of these - hubby uses his all the time. I switch up diffusers, depending on the situation.

I have the Coco, but it looks like they don't make it anymore. This is great for macro ring shots at weddings.

Wing Light - an unusual diffuser, but it works really well! Waiting on some replacement wings.

Good back-up to my 580 EX IIs. Or when I need a smaller flash.
