Jackie's Workstation Gear

Camera Gear:

• CAMERA: Canon EOS 5D MK IV: This is my all-time favourite camera. I find the camera menu easy to read, logical and the camera is fast easy to operate.  My favourite aspect is the easy to use in-camera multiple exposure modes and options, the high res files that it outputs and the file output from high ISO’s in low light conditions. | Canon EOSR: This is my lighter version on the 5DMKIV. It is a lot of fun being able to see my multiple exposures come together while looking through the viewfinder. I also enjoy the movable LCD screen.
• LENS: Canon EF 24-105 f4 IS II USM Lens: My favourite lens is the go-to Canon EF 24-105 f4 IS II USM because of it’s flexibility when making multiple exposures and slow shutter speed pans.
• LENS: Canon EF 100-400 f4.5/5.6 L IS II USM: My next most used lens would be Canon EF 100-400 f4.5/5.6 L ISII USM for finding the detail/abstract shot in the wider landscape. I don’t shoot many classic landscape view images.
• LENS: Canon TS-E 24mm f3.5 Tilt-shift Lens + Canon RF 1.4 MARK III Extender: I love making square images from stitching two frames together using my Canon TS-E 24mm f/3.5 Tilt-shift lens. I can add the Canon RF 1.4 MARK III Extender to this to make the focal length around 33mm. This lens gives me a unique point of view that takes my mind away from the obvious. (NB. Manual focus and manual exposure are required with this lens).
• FILTERS: ND Grads P121 & P12072, 72 and77mm ND 8 & 4, 72 and 77mm Circular Polariser: I use screw-on neutral density filters because they are easy to carry and fast to attach to my lens.
• CAMERA BAG: F Stop Lotus Camera Bag: This bag in a comfortable to wear and great for travelling with. Waterproof and easy to reconfigure for different uses.

Post Production: 

• MONITOR: EIZO ColorEdge CG277: It shows me exactly what I have captured on my files and brings extra joy to the editing and printing experience. | Apple, Thunderbolt Display -27inch:  Over ten years old and used for internet and office use. It’s great to have space to spread the windows around.
• PRINTER: Canon image PROGRAF PRO-1000: An important aspect of photography is the printed image. I use a Canon printer and find that it’s a dream machine. Easy to use and the print quality is amazing
• SOFTWARE: Adobe Creative Package: I have the Adobe Creative package, mainly using Photoshop 20 but have access to the full version of Adobe Acrobat when needed.  | Capture One 20: I started to use this program before Lightroom was invented. I love its flexibility and its file processing capabilities. The image will always only be as good as the idea that went behind making it.
• COMPUTER: MacBook Pro 15", 2.9 GHz Dual-Core Processor, 16GB 2400 MHz DDR4: This computer has plenty of grunt and power for my image making uses. It travels well and I really enjoy the MAC interface.
• CLOUD STORAGE: Dropbox for file sharing 
• PHYSICAL HARD DRIVE: 1-2 TB WD & ADATA Durable HD710P branded: I have a collection of around twelve 1-2 TB travel backup drives WD and ADATA Durable HD710P brand. These live in a fireproof safe and are numbered on the outside with an information tab attached to them showing a list of what folders are inside. I make sure not to drop them :) When travelling I always back up to two drives at the same time. Once back in my studio space, I backup the final selects to WD desk powered hard drives. They are not flashy but I have never had a problem with them. | Drobo backup system that I fire up every now and then to source my old files.
• PHYSICAL DATA PROTECTION: Fireproof safe to protect hard drives
