I had planned to go out today and see if a project I was interested in would work out. Instead I spent two and a half hours, and too much money, on busses. So, when I came home I decided to document what I had futilely carried around.
So, that’s the kind of gear I carry when I want to cover "all" and I’m not sure what I’ll be doing. It also shows the Lowepro Versapack off rather nicely.
Edit:
Missing from the photo is the spare 2GB SD card. It’s in the dedicated pocket in the bag and I keep forgetting it there if I don’t need it.
A life less ordinary.

You don’t realise how many recharable batteries and USB leads I took for stealing battery off the notebook. And still my camera ran out. All because I didn’t bring it’s specific USB lead. In the future, when I’m…(clearly needing to improve my carbon footprint)

Sorry to everyone who commented on this in the Judgement Day group. I did NOT mean to post this technically yucky photo there! I meant to put it in the "Just setups" group! I deleted my mistake- sorry and thanks!
Hi, I’m an admin for a group called All things indoors (POST 1, COMMENT 3), and we’d love to have your photo added to the group.
This photo would qualify for a WIB-group ;p
A WIB-group?
…or even What’s in my Camera Bag
-Funny. Last week I laid out all my gear & took a shot of it, only to pull the image from my Flickr photostream a couple days later. Unlike yours, it was pointless gear-wankery & It looked like shit anyhow ’cause had to use the only camera that wasn’t in the shot (a crappy old 4mpx Canon SD300 P&S).
*sigh
My first paying gig in 1995, was head shots for the cast of "A confederacy of dunces".
I’m rather pleased with this bag so I felt like cataloging what I had been able to stuff in it. Admittedly, none of the lenses are big (well, they’re rather small) and neither is the camera body but it’s still a pretty decent setup. Still, I wish there were some external pocket on it.
Oh, and I had to use an Ixus 70 for that shot. Pretty stupid, the boy’s D40 was here so I could have used that.
provbenson: Cool. Was that for some stage version of the novel?
Yeah. Here in Providence we have lots of little theater troupes.

I wish I could streamline my Lowepro Computrekker to this level! Nicely done. Great reference photo too.
Sadly, I carry more weight in camera gear on a daily basis. If you exclude the tripod, that is.
And I very rarely carry this much. But that bag is still doing good things for me. Took it down to Uppsala for an overnighter and it worked very well.
you fit all that in the Versa? nice
Im planning a trip to europe this summer and i want a small bag. I have the d5000, 10.5, 18-55, 55-200 and 35 1.8 plus filters and a tiny tripod, do you think its feasible in this bag? plus i will be carrying lunch and maps and a water bottle.
what do you think karl?
Well, these are all fairly compact lenses, right? Apart from the camera, with Sigma 30mm and hood mounted forward, I packed two small lenses and the SB-26 flash. I think you should be good with the D5000 and these four lenses.
I love the VersaPack and the only thing that really annoys me about it is the two clasps and difficult zipper you need to go through to get at the top compartment. It’s probably done like this to make it better rain proof. I’d love some more small external pockets as well, but you know how it is with bags. This one is light, treats my back nice and takes a usable amount of the stuff I want with me, besides camera gear, when I’m out photographing.
thanks karl, i think this is the one.
perhaps we can meet up in europe this summer.
Ring me up if you’re in Sweden
Although I hope I’ll manage some foreign travel.
