Day 11/365: My Favorite Thing

My new Canon 6D with a new Tamron 28-300mm VC lens and a new camera bag

Today's theme is "My Favorite Thing". This was by far the easiest photo I had to do. My favorite thing to do is photography, and new equipment always gives me a little boost. So, I bought my new camera in April, followed by the lens in May, then the new camera bag from B&H Video/Camera Shop in New York. These are definitely 3 of my favorite things, since I use them every day.

The camera bag is a bit small for a full-frame DSLR and to use as my daily bag, because it can only fit the camera and lens if separated in 2 of the sections and my flash in the other. It doesn't leave much room for my wallet, lipstick and other things I need to keep with me. I wish it were a big bigger, but it serves the purpose.

However, it does give me a little bit of security since it doesn't look like a camera bag. When I'm out and about shooting, I feel a bit nervous at times because I feel like I'm a target with that equipment hanging around my neck. It's not like I'm a man who poses a threat to thieves. I'm an older woman who is frequently alone when I'm out. With this bag, I feel a little bit more comfortable. I don't feel like I'm advertising what I have or a temptation to thieves. It's a terrible world we live in. Hopefully, this bag will not be quite so tempting.

  1. Ooooh. I love the camera bag. I've been looking for one that's a little more feminine, but has nice padding and is waterproof. I'm going to check out B&H Video/Camera online to see what's available. Thanks for sharing!
