Having recently made the jump from PC to MAC (and a great jump it was too), it's prompted me to review my vast array of equipment, software, plug-ins etc etc etc.
I currently shoot weddings with a Nikon D3, fitted with either my 17-35 f2.8 or a 28-70 f2.8, and a D700 fitted with a 70-200 f2.8. The truth is that there is nothing between the D3 and D700 as they both share the same FX CMOS sensor, except the D700 is lighter and more manageable. It leaves me with the question of whether or not I should just go with 2 D700 bodies and save my back?
I also use either a 50mm f1.4 or a 85mm f1.8 lens for my portrait work. Both are equally valuable and have secured their place in the case. I occasionally use a 60mm f2.8 macro lens for some very detailed work but that's about it. With this in mind I decided to sell of everything else on eBay.
I also took the opportunity whilst making the transition from PC to MAC to sort out my actions palette and upgraded to CS4 in the process. At one stage I had 243 different actions in Photoshop, of which I estimated that I used about 20 or so. After a ruthless clear out this is now more like 135......................but like a woman going through her shoe collection I just couldn't bring myself to throw anything else out.
My next wedding is in Soho, London next weekend and I'm really looking forward to it I have to say. Watch this space for a sneak preview of some of the pictures.
