Camera Bag

[LPZ_Stitch!]

Can anyone recommed a good bag for the following gear:

• Canon T2i
• 3 lenses: EF-S 18-55, EF 75-300, EF 50/1.8
• 3 batteries + charger
• 8 - 10 SD cards (in their plastic cases) + USB card reader
• various cables (mini HDMI, standard A/V, USB)

We're vacationing in Maui, and I would like a bag to keep my camera and lenses as safe as possible from rain, mist, splashing waves and sand.

I don't expect expanding my selection of lenses any time soon. And, if I did, I'd probably just be replacing the 75-300 with something better and leave it home/sell it.

I have a Lowepro Pro Runner 200AW backpack. That might do the trick for you. It'll hold everything you mentioned. Plus, it also has a built-in rain cover. They might even still carry it at Best Buy, if you wanted to give it a closer look (I bought online though).

I just bought a Crumpler 7 million dollar home. I had just about 40 pounds of gear that I hauled around for 12 hours continuously on saturday and it was awesome. I had to hike a mile up straight up hill with that bag and it was TOTALLY comfortable.

I highly suggest any of the Crumpler series bags.

Lowepro or Crumpler you can't go wrong. I have a slingbag if I want to carry more and a smaller Crumpler when I want to travel lighter.

I have a Canon XSi with the lenses listed below (somewhat like yours) and I am an active hiker and tourist when I travel. In addition, I throw in my wallet, headache pills, light jacket, snacks and carry water bottles etc. No shoulder camera bag would carry these and allow me super fast camera access without taking the pack off.

And while I do own a Lowepro Slingshot 200 All Weather Backpack which I like, it was hard on my shoulder and didn't carry enough. I also own several other smaller camera bags.

So I looked for months and hunted until I went back to the design that always worked for me before I moved to a DSLR - a fanny pack! I know, I know! That sounds horrible but I don't care! I'm past caring what I look like! I go for comfort and functionality.

I read reviews and bought a Mountainsmith Day (Recycled) Lumbar Pack which also can be fitted with Mountainsmith strapettes to move the support to your back. Because this was not designed as a camera bag I took the padded velcro inserts from my Lowepro Slingshot and a Disney Video camera bag and arranged them carefully in my Mountainsmith bag to pad my camera and lenses.

The Mountainsmith bag comes with an inner zippered pocket and an outer zippered pocket but the entire bag is not waterproof. You solve this problem by either buying a Mountainsmith pack cover (under $20) or as I did, using one of my backpack covers which folds small and travels in a pocket.

Now I can carry all my camera gear for my DSLR and a Canon G5, battery charger, extra gear including poncho, snacks, wallet etc., 2 water bottles, tripod, and still with releasing one shoulder strap have the capability to slide/move the whole pack to my front to get my camera or switch lenses etc. It gets a bit heavy but the weight is carried well by the strapettes.

Here's a link to the Mountainsmith bag on ebags.

I just got the Lowepro Magnum 200 AW Shoulder Bag a few weeks ago.
So far I love this bag! I can’t find anything negative about it!

I was wondering if you can get rid of Baby acne with Lightroom only? I am trying so hard to get rid of this acne and I am so confused. If anyone could help me I would appreciate it!

Baby acne is only a temporary condition, and it usually goes away on its own--if not in a few weeks, then in a few months.

However, if you still want to use Lightroom to fix baby acne, go into the Develop Module and use the Spot Removal tool (the circle with the small arrow).

Under the Spot Removal tool, I would select "Heal" rather than "Clone". This helps to smoothly blend in any corrections, rather than directly copying over the spot.

Adjust the size of the brush so that it's just slightly larger than the acne (you can use the [ and ] keys to make the brush smaller and larger, respectively).

Click on the spot of acne and hold your mouse down. Then move your mouse to a nearby area of clear skin. This will blend the clear area of skin onto the spot of acne, thereby removing the baby acne.

Repeat as necessary for each spot of baby acne.

If the above steps don't work, consult your pediatrician.

Thank you so much, you all are so funny!!!!!!! I did try that spot heal and it worked. I'm sure that I had not taken 100 shots of this little beauty, it would not have taken me 5 hours to get it all cleaned up. I'm also sure their is a preset that I could have done, but I am still learning . Thanks again for making me laugh.

I already have a large bag(Lowepro Fastpack 350) that will hold all of my gear for long trips.

I now want something smaller that would fit a 70-200 lens mounted on a 40D or 7D (in the future) plus also room for a wide angle lens.

shoulder bag or backpack style?

I have a Think Tank UD35 for this purpose. It is a shoulder bag. However, for travel, I rely on my Kata 3n1 30 which is similar to the Lowepro you already have.

Here's a link to the Adobe support website that has a ton of tutorials for Lightroom. I know there are other sites as well that offer free tutorials if you look for them. I found these tutorials helpful and although most right now are for LR2, they are adding LR3 tutorials as well.

There's sooooo much Photoshop & Lightroom learning you can do just from YouTube alone. It's amazing!

I'm embarrassed to say, but I also learned how to use Photoshop to make myself a little thinner. DO NOT search "Photoshop Virtual Weight Loss" on YouTube. The video that's shown has like 5.3 MILLION views!!! Using Photoshop, I lost 10 pounds.

You can even watch YouTube videos on how to use Photoshop to "enhance" certain parts of other people's bodies, too.

Does anyone know if I will be able to get these back? I had it in my head that they expired today. So, I went to log in, and they expired the 2nd and are gone! I am so incredibly bummed! I paid for a couple extensions on the pics and would have paid for another one had I realized the date. Ugh! I'm sick to my stomach about this! Of course, the photopass phones aren't open now, so, I thought I'd give this a shot. Anyone??
Thanks,
Jane

 

[ukcatfan]

Your best bet is to call. I have heard that once they are gone that they really are gone, but maybe someone working at WDW with them might have a trick up their sleeve.

 

[JanieLou]

I heard back from the photo people today. They reinstated my pics!!!!!! Woohooo! The key, I think, is that I paid for another extension already (for right now) before realizing that the pics were already expired. I forgot to mention that before. Thanks for your help!
