I think the bag that hes using is the lowepro mini trekker AW an i right?

[meltdownman1]

I think Nikon is the same: My Canon 5D Mark II has the ability to adjust the RGB balances. I have not come across any real good explanation of using this capability. One of the questions I have is can you adjust the settings on the RGB balance in place of colored filters? Is this its purpose? Note: My camera makes duplicates of the shots with these color adjustments. In fact I can do "color bracketing" e.g by coming up with 3 pics for every 1 and 9 pics for every 3 during a bracketing shot

how is the fuji ?

[fireblade1247]

How do i keep or protect my camera from getting fungus or damage? Can i use those Crumpler photography bags for storage?

[RoundTheBendFilms]

What's the bag? I might get something like this. Do you think it's airport "certified" cause I don't know if you can have those light stands sticking out like that.

[enigmesh]

u make it look so simple n cool :)

3 cheers to you!!!

[TheiGhoest]

very cool!!

what is the type of your lowepro bag? thanks.

[kindagoodphoto]

[dk2893]

Great video like always... quick question do you use filters on your lenses if you do would you mind telling me the brand of the filters (UV, CPL, and GND) also I am having some issue with flash batteries running out quickly what do you suggest to help me with this problem. Thanks

[dombower]

@dk2893 havent used cpl for a long tme but should get myself one some time. the gnd are by cokin which i have done a video on and uv are just lens protectors.

[dcs3510]

@dk2893 I use energizer rechargeable batteries with the 15 minute charger. It is so simple and the battery life is amazing!

Do you have a 70 200?

[karuntheindian]

How do you attach the rosco strobist gells to the flashes. I noticed that you had no Velcro on the flash. I know the sb-900's have a holder but as a sb-600 owner I don't. Thanks

[devonly2]

maybe he puts em in the diffusion dome for the flash.

I have double sidded velcro on my flashes, for PocketWizard and/or gel

[dombower]

agree with devonly2 stick it in your difusion dome

[Szczur88]

It's the Lowepro Komputrekker AW

[alphaomegatog]

is that the mini trekker

[lorikzzz]

How is this bag called ???

[Lupucapa]

Hey Dom,

what bag is that? and how much was it +/-?

[woozone]

hey dom, i really am interested in your rechargeable batteries and charger.  i know you did a video on the differences between nimh vs. others, etc. can you tell us what brand of rechargeables (AA batts)/chargers you use? and how long a set of batts will last you before you have to recycle them? thanx

[pakuplue]

hey dom, what is the tamron lens on your D300?

[MAIKERU79]

@pakuplue

Looks to me like the Tokina 11-16mm

[pakuplue]

@MAIKERU79 no on the other camera i found out its the tamron 28-75mm f 2.8

[EurghMatt]

Thanks, great help as usual, i love your videos you're a great inspiration to me. Have a lovely Christmas and a very drunken new years :D Regards.

[dipmvideos]

what happened to your D700?

[linezero3]

Maybe he rented it O.o

[dipmvideos]

i dont think he rented it.

[tignop]

Was wondering the same? No full frames for the shoot? The actual shoot had very low light and the D700 could have made the shoot more interesting.

[KEBokeh]

Damn that's a lot of gears man. Question for you Dom. Where can I find the "Rosco" color gels?

[wxb200]

Righteous.

[fantomkaustubh]

[dombower]

your confused??? so am i in trying to understand what you wrote there in text language.

[DuffmanzBeer]

Why do you have as a second camera a Fuji instead of a Nikon?

[dombower]

cos the fuji is amazing! if fuji bring out a s6 ill buy that over any nikon d800 or d3! ask any portrait photographer and they will say the same.

[Spaeckli]

@dombower do the fuji use the same lens bajonets?

[FinlandApollo]

@Spaeckli Yup.

[EurghMatt]

Also i do believe you can use Nikon Lenses on Fuji's which is convenient.

[mixmaxdix]

1:21 what tripod model is ?  Manfrotto xprob?

i'm going to get one soon with the 488rc2 ball head, and i was looking for a good tripod legs....

[rickjbradbury]

Good stuff dom... its amazin g what you can pack in to these bags.. i have the lowepro computrekker plus AW on order and can't wait to try it. finally can carry al lmy gear in 1 bag. will post unboxing and review video/article when i get it. off to watch the shoot video now.... good stuff.

[whitekrajn]

hey dominic! nice videos, keep it up!

i need a tripod for my nikon d5000, and i would use it for macro too. so i need it to "go low" and extend also. something for a tight budget maybe? :) tnx, and regards from Slovenia!

[MrRobgardner]

nice one again big man, and may i just wish you and your family a very merry christmas and a happy new year. Great work this year and i look forward to more videos in 2010.

[dombower]

thanks, merry xmas to you to.

[42hiker]

Hey Dom. Great vid as usual. What speedlight brackets are you using there?.

[dombower]

the ones that come with the flashes...

but the sb900 stands i dont like and dont have a metal female head for the light stands and they get a bit mushed up inside. need to buy new ones

[42hiker]

Sorry, I meant the heads you're removing from the stands before packing. Thanks

[dombower]

em? the ones that the guy in the shop gave me, for attaching umbrellas to. dont think they had a name.

[42hiker]

Ok. Thanks. I bought a couple off of ebay cheap but the ones you have look a lot better than my ebay ones (what did I expect tho, right?)

[sbs260]

whoa... i wished my bag could carry that much stuff

but i didnt want a well known camera bag brand like lowepro so i bought a burton snow board camera back to make it look like im a hiker and instead of a photographer *lower profile*

i heard alot of bad storys D:

anyways great vid dom =)!

[lew87ys]
