Hi, I'm John Harrington and we're going to
break out and break down the wide variety of
equipment we use to deliver images to our
clients. Next we are going to show you one of
the equipment kits we use when we are
traveling on assignment. Each kit is
different and has a very specific purpose. So
lets take a look.
First things first, its obvious that every
shoot requires a camera. Back in the day we
used to use Hasselblad for a lot of the
assignments that we do. But with digital the
way it is right now, we haven't shot a roll
of film in three years. This is our Canon
kit, we'll take a look at the Canon kit first
and Nikon kit second.
In our Canon kit, we definitely keep of our
software right in case we need to do a
reinstall when we're on the road. We have a 1
DS Mark 3, 1 DS Mark 2, 17-40mm, 24-105mm
which we use a lot when we're going out and
just need an all purpose lens. We have 85mm,
135mm/F2, and 35mm/F1.4. This is an 85mm/1.8
and a 50mm/1.4.
One of the things we like to do is stack
lenses together with a stacking cap. By
stacking it up, it just allows us to store
them easier in the bag and they're not
bouncing around as much. The reason we have
an 85mm/1.8 and an 85mm/1.2 is the 85mm/1.8
is the lens we have to use when we're using
the blimp, which we'll talk about in a little
bit. We also have a 70-200mm.
We have three strobes 580-EX, another 580-EX;
we have the new 580-EX2. We have a
jackrabbit cord so we can plug it into an
external battery pack for the flashes. We
have an off camera cord so we can take the
strobe off axis. And we have a 24-70mm/F2.8.
We also obviously carry some business cards
in case we need to. This is just an extra
pouch if we need to put some extra
accessories in. So that's the Canon kit.
And I want to tell you one thing about the
equipment that we're using here in the
ThinkTank. We don't always need to keep it
in the ThinkTank case, instead what we might
do is transfer to some of these smaller Domke
bags that we have.
So let me show you, which lenses go where,
and how we work with the Domkes and the
smaller bags. All of our fast glass that
would be all of our prime lenses are going to
go in one bag. The 135mm F2, our 50mm/1.4,
and our 85mm/1.8, and our 35mm/1.4 all go in
the bag. We then take the camera and we may
mount that camera with another fast glass
like the 85mm/1.8.
That's when we're working in a really low
light situation, a lot of time we're doing
this with concert performances, rock'n'roll,
other things where we need to be down at F2
and F1.8.
These other bags are our more travel light
standard bags. In that bag is going to go
the 17-40mm, the 24- 105mm, and over here is
going to be the 24-70mm. We'll drop one of
the strobes into this one, a backup strobe
into here. We'll also take an extra battery
and drop that in, our extra travel cords, our
off camera cord and our jackrabbit. We'll
take the other body and mount one of the
lenses on there. And we're ready to go.
One of the other points I want to make about
these flashes is a lot of times we will put a
CTO or a green gel in front of that so we can
use the strobe and match the strobe to the
color temperature of the environment we're
in, whether it's in a tungsten color
temperature or a fluorescent environment.
Using these different gels allows us to match
the strobe to the room color temperature. So
that's how we work when we are not using the
ThinkTanks airport security equipment, and
instead we want to travel light. We'll take
and get rid of this. So this is how we
travel light and this is how we shoulder the
equipment.
Our strobes and zoom and extra battery go on
one shoulder. The other zooms, the other
strobe closes up goes on the other shoulder.
We don't always take the fast glass with us.
So now that we got the bags on, on go the
cameras, one on either side. And we're ready
to go. This, believe it or not, is traveling
light.

Charlie Chaplin is at the National Portrait
Gallery in London. In 1995 Kirkland received
a Lifetime Achievement Award from the
American Motion Pictures Society of Operating
Cameramen.
He latest passion is shooting with the Canon
EOS-1Ds Mark III, which Calumet will be
shipping in November. The Canon EOS-1Ds Mark
III is an engineering tour de force which,
true to the EOS-1 legacy, redefines the state
of the art in no uncertain terms. An entirely
new 21.1-megapixel full-frame Canon CMOS
sensor delivers astounding image quality and
creates new photographic possibilities. Dual
"DIGIC III" Image Processors work in tandem
to speed up data handling and camera
operation, while further refining imaging
performance. Tough, high-durability body and
shutter designs, combined with the unique EOS
Integrated Cleaning System, set new standards
for professional dependability. Cutting-edge
features-such as a large 3.0-inch LCD monitor
with Live View Function, and a fast, precise
45-point AF system-make the EOS-1Ds Mark III
powerful and versatile. And, of course, the
EOS-1Ds Mark III is part of the unparalleled
EOS System, which, with more than 50 EF
lenses, 15 interchangeable focusing screens,
and extensive wireless remote control and
lighting accessories, is the most advanced
and powerful digital photography system in
the world.
