What's in your camera bag?

[CSR Studio]

Here is one of mine. This is the one that I grab when I am going out to shoot for me.



What's in your bag? Let's see it! What's the strangest thing you have in your camera bag? Mine is a first aid kit because I like to shoot landscapes and something always happens.

I used to carry lots of stuff.. but it no longer fits my style nor my life.

My bag .. er bags.. keep changing depending on what I want to shoot or do. Sometimes 2 rangefinders + 4 lenses. Sometimes 1 rangefinder + 3 lenses. Sometimes my Canon SLR + 24-104L + 50. Sometimes my Canon SLR + 24-104L + 100-400L. Sometimes simply a hip bag with an Panasonic LX3.

This is what I'm headed out right now (attached)

mmm....this is an old one, exchange the Fuji camera for a Nikon and add some snow shoes ... for cold weather 'shooting'.

I take the bare necessities.

I guess as far as weird, but not really weird...

Target bags (when it rains) and rubber bands
Clear plastic baggy with custom cut holes lol
D40 battery, sometimes I'll bring the d40x

That about sums it up

I don't actually carry a camera bag. I have a day pack which is what I use. I wear my camera. My daypack has three lenses, usually, a beanbag, extra memory cards, one camera battery, a lenspen, a cable release, and a polarizing filter.

My pack also includes lollipops and doggie treats for kids and dogs. A first aid kit. 3x5 index cards. Pen. Personal cards--I don't have a business. A book to read over lunch with a book weight for the book. A couple of extra tips for my walking stick or umbrella. A bandana for blowing my nose and whatever.
