One of my favorite things to play with is light manipulation. To for this you need a sturdy tripod, a shutter release cable and a lot of time and patience.

Some of the sbove images have an exposure time of over 7minutes, others as short as 1/1000second  

my camera gear

In today's post I am going to show what kit I have collected over the last year.

camera gear

Starting from the back right.

• Camera bag. I have actually got 2 identical ones so i don't have to carry all my gear at the same time.
• Sturdy tripod

middle row from the right

• A selection of filters including a polarising filter, nd8 neutral filter and some macro filters
• Canon zoom lens EF 75-300mm 4-5.6 III
• Shutter release
• Canon EFS 18-55mm 3.5-5.6 kit lens
• Canon 550D body

Front row from the right

• Selection of batteries (i have 3 in total)

My kit is by no means professional but it is within my budget and it gets the job done
