Re: Preparing for a Day of Photography
Shel: You're miles ahead of me in equipment readiness. I only usually have time for: 1) Sit down in a quiet place and think about what I'm going to be photographing. 2) Sketch out three or four shots I think I am going to want to look for. 3) Try to imagine whether any unusual technique is called for; if so, review how I might go about it. That leads to 4) what equipment will I need? What do I need to bring besides cameras and film? - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.

Hi All Shel Belinkoff wrote In the morning, or the evening before, I engage in a regular routine of maintenance with the cameras I'll be using. This includes the following: Making sure all lenses are clean, checking their front and rear elements, and looking through them be sure there are no hidden problems; Be sure that all lens caps and hoods are available, in good condition, and fit properly; Blow and clean dust and debris from the camera bodies; Check to be sure the shutters are working properly at all speeds; Opening the camera back and blowing dust and debris from all visible areas, checking to be sure there are no bits of film lodged anywhere in the mechanism; Clean viewfinders as appropriate (different cameras require different techniques; Load film and note on camera body what emulsion and EI I'm shooting; Be sure that all meters (built in or hand held) are set to the proper EI. With some cameras I check to be sure exposure compensation is off and note whether camera is on auto pilot or manual; I take a reading off a grey card or other similar object under a known light source to be sure meters are within spec; Be sure spare batteries for meters and camera are in the bag; Make sure film is securely attached to the take-up spool by winding on a few frames; Make sure straps are securely attached and that the strap material is in good condition, showing no signs of fraying; Make sure there are at least a half dozen rolls of film in the bag and that they're appropriate for conditions; Make sure that the hand held meter is in the bag along with grey card and blower brush.
