Equipment List Review for Today’s Runway Shoot

Shawn Duffy posted his gear list for today’s Flaunt Runway Fashion Show shoot today so I thought I’d learn a lesson and do the same. I spent last evening recharging batteries, checking my gear’s working order, and reviewing camera operations.

Camera
Canon EOX 40D
Canon EOS XS
Canon Powershot S5IS

Lenses
Canon EF 28-135mm F/3.5-5.6 IS USM (on the 40D)
Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II (probably won’t use it but its small)
Canon EF 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 II/III USM (on the 40D for portraits)
Tamron SP AF 17-35mm f/2.8-4 Di LD Aspherical IF for Canon (on the XS)

Light
Canon Speedlite 580EX II
Canon Speedlite 430EX II

Filters
72mm soft spot filter for 28-135mm lens

Miscellaneous Photo Gear
8GB and 4GB CF cards (40D)
Three 4GB SD cards (XS and Powershot)
Two cleaning cloths
14 AA Eneloop batteries with charger
1 Extra 40D battery with charger
1 Extra XS battery with charger
Power strip
Laptop with power cord and Canon sync cable
Tripod
Small notebook and pen
IPOD

Shawn’s list is much longer, I think he bought out one of the local Ritz Camera’s inventory. Between the two of us I think we’ll have every contingency covered.
