\nA recent trend has been Whats in the Bag Posts, Where Various bloggers post what they carry in their Laptop Bags. Since I occasionally like to pull back the covers and reveal the inner workings of Halifax Shipping News, I Thought it was time for a “Whats in the Bag Post”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n

The Bag itself is a Lowepro LP36416 Event Messenger 250<\/a>. This bag is awesome. its not particularly large or cumbersome, but it holds everything I need it too, and it has a laptop slot. Like all Lowpro Products, it has excellent build quality. I have had this one for over a year, and it still looks new after daily use.<\/p>\n

Items In the Bag:
\nStandard Horizon HX851 <\/a>– VHF Radio. Allows me to keep tabs on marine traffic. via Halifax Traffic ch 12,14, 16.<\/p>\n

Canon EOS Rebel T3 12.2MP Digital SLR Camera <\/a> – My Primary Camera, This one is a beast, and the  body is very worn. I Have long since retired the Kit 18-55 lens that came with it. I also added the Vertical grip.<\/p>\n

Sigma 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 Lens <\/a> – the Sigma 18-200 is a great range for shipspotting, as you can accommodate vessels far away and upclose. I used to carry the kit 18-55 lens and a 55-200 lens, but this one covers the full range, so iI dont need to worry about switching glass.<\/p>\n

Canon EF 50mm f\/1.8 II Camera Lens<\/a>\"\" – this prime lens mostly gets used in low light situations. For fast glass, its very afforadable, and Canon Fans Love it. The shot below was taken with this lens<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

The Small Bag Holds Cactus Wireless flash triggers, Assorted cables and Chargers and CF Card reader. Since I Carry this Bag on A Daily Basis, Some items are not directly related to the blog. The Laptop of Choice is either a Apple MacBook Pro 13.3-Inch Laptop<\/a> (Personal) or a Toshiba Portege Z930<\/a>\"\" (Work)<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

I also carry a SOG EOD Powerlock<\/a> Multi tool, MAGLITE AA Mini Flashlight <\/a>,and Spyderco Rescue 79mm Knife<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

Not Pictured are the iPad, and iPhone, which are my primary tweeting platforms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
