Top Photo Gear on my Wish-list

18. August 2010 by Algernon.

First on my list would be an umbrella stand from my off camera speedlight.  It’s kind of irritating to have to hold the light and off camera lighting is much more flattering to any photo then on camera lighting.  So, this piece of equipment tops my list because it’s the cheapest piece that will improve my photos the most.  The second piece on my list would have to be another speedlight.  SB-900 will work just fine.  Lighting equipment can get really expensive.  I try to keep it light and inexpensive for now.  An SB-900 will add to my lighting capability and keep a little money in my pocket.  Of course I will need another stand.  Because I shoot with a D700, Pocket Wizzard or some other trigger device is not yet needed.  Those little lights pack a punch.  Third on my list would have to be a lens.  Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 is an excellent wide angle lens.  I have never used it but after using my Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8, I think Nikon has spoiled me.  I love the high end lenses.  Shooting at 24mm, I’m always looking to go wider.  I actually like shooting wide more than anything.  I think it’s a ver creative lens.  Fourth on my wish-list is the Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8.  It can help me shoot events like wedding without having to move around as much.  This is a must have lens.  The big three…  Nikon 14-24, 24-70, and 70-200mm.  This is only four items I want to add to my camera bag.  What are some items that are on you’re wish-list?  We maybe able to share and help each other out about gear.  Leave comments about your gear.  Oh…  the picture about was taken with the gear I already have and I just wanted to post a photo of my daughter enjoying the outdoors…
