Ok so first of my equipment as a writer is generally:
Microsoft Word: For Novel, Poetry, Short Stories and any Character Profiles and Treatments for any Scripts I happen to be writing.
Celtx: For script writing though I am slowly shifting over to Adobe's Story I currently still use this as a script writing tool due to most my friends using the same program enabling scripts to be sent to each other and Doctored much easier.
Adobe Story: With my purchase of Adobe CC I had myself a look at Story. I am still learning all the programs features but for the moment I am happy enough with it to state it is now my main script writing program. A program I am currently writing a script called: 'Whisky.'
I either write upon my custom built PC or my now old Asus Eee PC netbook. The little thing which I expected to be a short investment until I could buy myself a descent laptop has exceeded my expectations and kept me quite happy and content. I am currently looking for a new portable machine to write on currently my eye is being drawn to the 13'' Macbook Air by Apple. Hopefully I would like to get it whilst it's student discount still applies to myself but we shall have to wait and see.
For Photography/Filming I use:
Canon 600D: Originally bought for purely filming. The photography aspect of the camera itself didn't really impact me until recently when I became slightly enamored with Black and White photography. I currently own three lens' for the camera these are as follows: 18-55mm & 50-250mm Kit lens. Along with the 50mm Prime 1.8f also known as the 'Nifty Fifty'. They serve their purpose well and give me a good range to play around with. Though some L lens would prove better but we shall come to that.
I also recently (for my 20th) acquired the Pentax Q and its 5-15mm lens. This camera is a camera purely for fun. It's tiny form factor and good photo quality for what it is and it's price which I got for £150.00 is fantastic to play around with. I put it in a tiny camera bag and carry it around with me without any hassle allowing me to take a picture on the go without a cumbersome DSLR backpack full of lens.
Now earlier I mentioned about L-Lens. Though brilliant kit I myself am not really interested in them. Because I see my future in photography as in my next camera in the mirror-less sector. Mainly the Micro-Four-Thirds area of Mirror-Less. This is mainly due to pricing, size, portability and quality. The camera I would love to own for photography is the Olympus OMD E-M1 now I'm not going to review it as I have no hands on experience but seriously 'E-M1' into YouTube and will see many brilliant reviews about the camera.
I also mentioned earlier that I own Adobe CC. Which I use for post on short/student films and or photography. And of course my script writing for Story. Now I have only been using Adobe software for a short amount of time having been converted from Sony Vegas Pro within the last year or so curtsy of my friend Dan.
My perfect future kit is: The Olympus OMD E-M1 and a few nice MFT lens. And a dedicated camera for filming preferably in RAW as RAW is just cool. But my next main buy will have to be a portable yet decently powerful laptop for Writing and Lightroom usage.
Now that's a bit of a run down on my equipment and equipment aspirations (we all have them) and just a view upon myself and so forth. I shall be posting an overview of the Nifty Fifty Canon Lens on Weds and every Friday or Saturday will be a small ramble such as today's. At the end I shall put a quote I found and enjoyed ranging from any topic.
Hope You Enjoyed,
And I leave you with this: 'When you fall for someone's personality, everything about them becomes beautiful.'
