Happy New Year!

Todays (Nikon) camera bag from Singapore is filled ot brim with Sony goodies. Tell us about them Oh Yao Wen!

 

Hi, my name is Oh Yao Wen from Singapore. I am still a student, waiting for my GCE 'O' Levels result. I take up photography as my hobby. I start out when I am 11 years old. The first camera I used is a Kodak disposable film camera. The camera only had a limited amount of film, and once I finished them, I go to send it in for them to developed. Slowly, I upgrade in to a Kodak point and shoot and now a DSLR (SLT). When I finally got my DSLR (SLT), it is a Sony SLT A55 with a kit lens. Some of my friends has been commenting on why did I get a Sony rather than Nikon and Canon. I think that this is one question that most Sony user might hear. However, I did not think of changing my camera or jumping ships. I treasure the equipment that I have with me.

So here are my equipment:

1: Sony SLT A55

2: Sony 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6

3. Sony 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3

4. Sony 50mm f/2.8

5. Sony HVL F58AM

6. Sony NP-FW50 additional battery [Always Good To Have]

7. Joby Gorillapod

8. LowePro Nikon Bag [Yeah, Sony user with a Nikon Bag]

9. Sony Memory Stick Pro 8GB

10. Sony 16GB SDHC Card

11. SanDisk Extreme Pro SDHC 1 32GB Card

Now let me share with you how I use my camera equipment.

I use my Sony SLT A55 almost everywhere I go. I bring along my 18-250mm f/3.5-6.3 lens and my 50mm f/2.8. The reason why I chose to bring the 18-250mm lens is because, It is very good as it cover a long range of focal length. Hence I will be able to get the shot I need without having the need to change many lenses. The 50mm f/2.8 macro is used for taking macro shots and some shots that can be taken at 50mm. This lens has better optics than my 18-250mm lens. Hence when I need to have Bokeh effect or better optical quality, I will switch to the 50mm f/2.8 lens. I bring my HVL F58AM depends on where I am going. I recently brought a flash and now I am trying to learn about flash photography. I use flash mostly for portraits. For the Joby Gorillapod, I use it mostly for long exposure shot and sometime for my YouTube videos.

Yeah, it is a free and cheap tripod that comes with my SLT A55. However, it still get the job done when I do some long exposure shots. I used my LowePro Nikon Bag to store all my camera equipment as it is big enough. Yeah, so this is what I have in my bag and how I used them. Happy shooting guys!
