Unfortunately, due to my unreliable sources, there were only one or two kite fliers in sight, and thus we were unable to complete our photoshoot. So I thought it would be interesting to just take a look at what I packed for the outing.

My New Camera Backpack

Just a quick run though of what I have inside my bag:

  • Lumix LX3
  • Swiss Blower
  • Canon Speedlite 580EX II (underneath the Lumix LX3 and Swiss Blower)
  • Canon 5D Mk II
  • Canon EF 17-40mm f/4.0 L
  • Canon EF 50mm f/1.4
  • Two containers of Nendoroid and their spare parts

And of course, I would stick the tripod on the outside of the bag and I’m all ready for a Nendo’s Travelogue Photoshoot.

You would need to train out at the gym to be able to use that lense. LOL

But I guess its also true that babes love those men with big guns ^^

The entire process is so long and tedious which explains why I have to pay an arm and leg for a good lense.
