My Gear #26 - Paul Morrall

Friday, 18 January 2013 12:41

A local Sydney-sider shares their bag today. Hope you survived the 45 degree heat ok Paul.

Although having a fairly eclectic photographic history I spent most of my time shooting underwater with the odd landscape and seascape to give the images a sense of location.  A bit of a traditionalist, I was very happy shooting film until about 5 years ago.  It was about that time I thought that the DSLR were getting to where I thought they should be. I bought Nikon D80 (I should say invested) as my 1st DSLR which really got the creative juices flowing and soon upgraded that to a D7000 and the results were truly mind blowing.  I joined the local Camera club and then invested in an Epson R3000 printer (sensational).  Although I still have a love for land and seascapes I started to work more on what I thought I was weak areas, people and portraits.  I soon began to really enjoy working with people and capturing not only their image but their unique character.  On a part time basis I do a fair bit of portraits and Boudoir photography get a real kick out of seeing the client’s reaction when presented with their images.

To be honest I have only just jumped to FX and I’m blown away with the new format and the new glass I have.

So what’s in the bag? (At the moment)

From the FX side, my newly acquired D800 (love it) – A Nikkor 24-70mm (now my new go to lens) – A Nikkor 70-200 VRII – Nikkor 105mm 2.8 Macro (from my old from days) – Nikkor 20mm 2.8 (from my old from days) a Nikkor 50mm 1.8 (much better than the 1.4)

The DX side a Nikon D7000 (great camera) 10-20mm sigma (great lens) – Nikkor18-105mm – Nikkor 55mm-300mm and my old D80 body (now has to go),

Umbrellas, light stands,reflectors and Speedlights are also an important part of my kit.

The D7000 is going to stay with me for a while (as my travel camera), the D800 isn’t to big bit the high end glass is big and heavy.............

Cheers for now
