I started shooting small then built up my portfolio and branched into shooting for bigger bands and events so decided I needed to step-up the kit. I bought the Nikon D7100 from eBay following lots of researching different cameras. I then bought the Sigma 17-70mm from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mpb.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MPB<\/a>. Both are great robust pieces of kit and I have been using these for two years now. I also bought Nikon 50mm and 55-200mm lenses from eBay.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-131136 size-large\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/DSC1513-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/>\n<p><strong>What do you mainly shoot?<\/strong><br \/>\nLive bands, mostly, the more energetic the better to make it challenging. Occasionally I do events shoots and some landscape photos. Photography is my hobby, and I get asked to go do the odd little shoot job here and there but I do it because I love it. Recently I was at a band shoot, when I dropped my camera bag full of equipment. When I picked up my camera it rattled and could hear loose glass\u2026 On closer inspection it turned out it was just my UV filter that had smashed and saved my lens. I never go out without a filter now and that would be my top tip for other photographers, whether you buy used gear or not.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-131138 size-large\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/CY1_3716-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/>\n\n<p><strong>Which of your images shot on used gear are you particularly proud of?<\/strong><br \/>\nDuring a recent festival I shot my best photo I&#8217;ve ever taken with my D7100, of Joel from the Australian rock band Airbourne flying high (below). I like to be creative with my photos and try and get the &#8216;different&#8217; shot to all the other photographers. I have been in many photography pits at gigs with many photographers, who have cameras on each arm, lenses in each pocket&#8230; Me, I just have my one and only trusty Nikon, and maybe take two lenses. My kit is pretty good and I&#8217;m happy with the results \u2013 I\u2019m happy that bands sometimes share my photos as much as the ones taken by professional photographers.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-131139 size-large\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/CY1_5177-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/>\n<p>See more of Angela&#8217;s work at www.facebook.com\/cobspix and @cobspix on Instagram.
