Your Camera Bag Can Make or Break Your Photography Experience

Welcome to episode 43 of The Photo Flunky Show where we discuss some of the options to help you choose your camera bag.

I'll admit, I screwed up this show a few times, but it's here with all the warts as we discuss your camera bag options. Lee and I have very different opinions about what makes a good bag. I hope that helps you decide which style works best for you.

We cover backpacks, messenger bags, sling bags, rolling bags and even hard case luggage. They all serve a purpose, but the trick is to match your camera bag to your purpose.

If you're like me, you'll end up with more than one bag. If you're like Lee, one size may serve you well for years without any change.

THE PHOTO FLUNKY SHOW:  Episode 43

 

Welcome to the Photo Flunky Show, Episode forty-three.

 

Today we are going to be talking about how to choose your camera bag, your camera luggage and generally, stuff that you keep your camera in either for lugging it around or maybe for storage.

 

William:   Hi, welcome.  My name is William Beem.

 

Lee:         Hi, I am Lee Beem.

 

William:   And if I am laughing a little bit it’s because I just screwed up the entry!  We’ve got two podcasts. There is this one and the other one is called The Orlando Local Show.  Apparently I like starting podcasts with “The” and ending them with “Show.”  So I had the introductory music and I started playing the right music and then I said, “Welcome to the Orlando Local Show.”  And then a flurry of obscenities after that!

 

So just letting you know, I make mistakes.

 

Lee:         Sometimes.

 

William:   And if you’d like to get those mistakes in writing, we’ve got a free transcript of this show. It’s available at williambeem.com/episode43. Or you can subscribe to the show.  Please go to photoflunky.com where you can listen to this show and many others while you are there.

 

Alright, Lee. Am I ready to do this or am I going to screw up something else again?

 

Lee:         I think people like human people. So if we screw up, that just makes us real.

 

William:   Well I’m as real as you get today.

 

We decided we wanted to talk about camera bags today because I’ve got so many of them here.

 

Lee:         Yes, some still with tags on.

 

William:   Well, that was a free one.

 

Lee:         Really?

 

William:   Yeah, I won that.

 

Lee:         Oh!

 

William:   So I haven’t used it yet,
