Build a Kit - Hudacek

 

Purpose/Mission:

My goal for my camera kit is to create a multipurpose collection of photojournalism tools. I chose one DSLR and one mirrorless to give myself flexibility, and made sure one was smaller and one was larger so I have the ability to adapt to different scenarios. They both have the ability to capture 4k video as well, in case video documentation is needed or requested. 

Likewise, my lenses fulfill different possible requirements for a photojournalist. My 85mm lens is built for portrait photography, and can handle any mid-distance photography needs. My 200-500mm lens will give me the ability to capture landscapes, sports, nature, and dangerous scenarios through a quality telephoto lens. 

I have a tripod for portrait or landscape photography, and a gimbal for photo/video in hectic environments. I purchased two 300mb/s speed 128GB memory cards, a backup battery pack for each camera body, and a quality backpack for storage. I then purchases two kits, one for camera cleaning and one for first aid.

Finally, I purchased a year-long subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud, and a protective insurance subscription for each camera body. 

This kit will allow me to cover any event requested of me, and extends my abilities to photoshoots and video documentations as well.

Assignment 9 -- Holliday Woodard

 

The sun projects shadows on the brick building as the cherry blossom tree drops its petals on the mulch. 

                                            The yellow flowers bloom outside the Memorial Chapel.

                                            The purple flower stands among few that are sprouting in early spring.

                                        A red rose with a yellow center blooms outside Taliaferro Hall.

                            The cherry blossom tree stretches over the walkway near Hornbake Library.

                            The cherry blossom tree stretches its branches across the brick building.
