I have a bit of a shopping list of kit I need to get to complete my camera kit.
My Basic kit already comprises of the following.
- Nikon D40 camera body
- AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II
- AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED II
- Circular polarizing filter
- UV filter
- Graduated ND filter
- ND 4 filter
- ND 6 filter
- A set of x1 x2 x4 x10 screw on close up lenses.
- 300w Studio flash
- Soft Box
- Gold reflective umbrella
- gold/silver/white fill in reflector
- 3m wide background stands with assorted colour backgrounds.
- Gossden Light meter.
To add to this kit I need to get-
- Nikon SB-900 AF Speedlight (I will settle for the SB600) http://tinyurl.com/2cmtjmk
- Spyder3 pro monitor calibrator http://tinyurl.com/6x7775
- Spydercube RAW image calibration http://tinyurl.com/cqyeyc
I also plan to get some paper from www.fotospeed.com. They offer a free printer calibration service so that combined with the spyder calibration system, when I print out an image, it will be exactly as I see it on screen.
Ultimately, though, the pictures I create for my RPSL, I will send out for professional printing. There is no way that after spending all the money I have on photography kit that I will trust a 6 year old Epson printer with a cheap CISS attached to it to produce my pictures for scrutiny from the Royal Photographic Society.
