Update Er remarkably uncomfortable after a while... Making better use of a Crumpler Prettyboy XXL
Cycle to work version
- Canon G10 (has a hot shoe, shoots in RAW and will sync *to more than 1/1000 (I think even 1/2000 second)
- Spare (charged) battery
- Lightstand Manfrotto nano 001b (this is Ace! to use and 80's phrase)
- Brolly Wescott double fold shoot through white satin umbrella (postage from USA sost as much as the brolly... this is expensive to use a
- Nikon SB28dx
- Nikon 80dx (has built in optical slave... so if you forget the triggers will trigger from the G10's onboard flash)
- Wireless Triggers Elinchrom skyports (stored in a small round plastic food container from Morrisons... which doubles as a 'bare bulb' style diffuser)
- Flash Gels bunch of lee flash gels, colour correction and theatrical as Joe McNally calls them
- Justin clamp; (Manfrotto 173)
- Superclamp Manfrotto
- Umbrella adaptor Manfrotto Lite Tite (kind of heavy for cycling but good go it's in)
- Lifeventure grey XXL travel towel (doubles as a cool background).. it's essential to take this out and air it first as subjects tend to doubt your level of professionalism if this appears 'used' in any way (always pays to know where your towel is ;-)
- ball bungies, Hamma cold shoe(s) Hamma mini ball head (screws to spigot if like me you bought the cheap version of the Justin clamp without one)
Camera:
Canon EOS 5D
heaviest I could comfortably carry , mini ball head, low angle adaptor to get close for fungal macro/portraits. Strictly speaking it's on my kit bag.
Mini ball head is now on a Joby Gorilla pod (SLR Zoom version)
Lastolite 38cm ezybox (with special telescopic 'stick' to mount it on)
Set of Cokin ND grads and P007 IR, P-series
silva compass & space blanket, Leatherman juice KF4 knife( has pliers), led torch, small pair Olympus Binoculars 7 x 21 PCII, Rocket blower, spare CF cards, lens cloth. Bubble level (fits in hot shoe)

I think that purchase may be a Canon 100mm USM f2.8 Macro but I would consider 'time' to actually get out and shoot more often if it could be bought! Many people seem to consider this an 'L' quality lens without the badge
- I did it! I bought the macro... now just need the time to play... One of the reasons was that I could set up an indoor studio and do some photography once the children are in bed and the washing-up done etc. maybe some pomegranate slices on a light box
