What's in my bag

As a concert photographer, the low profile and body hugging characteristics of my black Domke F-6 allows me to easily move around in the crowd in a discrete way. Much better than walking with a bulky padded photo backpack. To my surprise the F-6 even fits my D700 with a small prime lens, without having to take off the grip. Being a shoulder bag it enables me to change lenses even between shots without the risk of anything dropping on the floor. When I am taking a short break, I can rest my camera on it to spread the weight, and still walk around.

 

 

Here’s what’s inside my Domke:

- Nikon D700 with MB-D10 grip and Nikkor 50mm F1.4G AF-S

- Tamron 28-75mm F2.8

- Nikkor 35mm F1.8DX (yes it’s a DX, but until I can afford the 35mm F1.4G I abuse it on my FX D700, works fine within limits)

- Zenitar 16mm F2.8 fisheye

- Nikon SB800 speed light, omnibounce, tripod adapter (for backstage/band portraits and the really really dark venues)

- Yongnuo 622n TX radio flash trigger commander + Yongnuo 622n receiver to remote trigger the speed light

- Manfrotto Pixi mini tripod (I can put the speedlight on it for more directional control and stability)

- Spare CF memory card

- Microfiber towel and air blower, for dusty venues and flying beer spatters

- Gerber LX flashlight, wound with a bit of gaffer tape since almost everything happens in the dark, and you can never go wrong with a bit of gaffer tape

- Custom hearing protection ear plugs and spare foamies, ears are priceless
