mmastre it does add some bulk and weight but anything I don't have to carry around that is loose the better. Plus I don't have to stop mid stream. Thanks for watching! -R
There are new batteries that have the USB-C plug in the battery its self and they seem to have the best longevity as well. I’ve switched over to only those for my D750 and Z8. Instead of a fanny pack I got a chest sling bag it’s lightweight and goes over my left shoulder. It’s easier to access and if security needs to check it that’s easier as well. Also just looks more profession and stylish. I replace my Sandisk SD Cards every year to avoid them aging and becoming corrupt. I tend to only get 64gb and 128gb cards for my D750 and then if needed I’d switch out while shooting. Though I’ve only shot over 128gb twice for events like this. D800 files are much larger though.
Thank you for your comments @masterinico! When I made this video it was truly simple on purpose. You see a lot of camera and lens reviews and this setting and that setting. I sat and thought no one I know of has ever covered this. Your comments and suggestions are what it is all about! I will need to check out the new EN-EL-15 C battery. Nikon's chargers are really fragile and I end up replacing them quite often. Accessories are a major thing that people do not realize. Accessory bags and the contents over a weekend long festival are important. I thought it may seem silly for adding the cap keeper but I lost my lens cap 3 times at the Dallas International Guitar Festival. Luckily I found all three times LOL. As for SD and compact flash I have 3 matched sets of 32gb sd and CFcards that I rotate. I should replace them next year for sure and up them to 64gbs. I carry 2 Nikon D800's now where at one time I used a D800 and a D7100. The D800 raw files are nearly 80mb a piece. So power and space make a difference. I have caught a few negative reviews for this video for some reason but your reply is !!! Thanks for watching! -R
Hi Milton! I get a copy of the stage schedule and cross reference it. So you can tell by the order and when the artist change you know who is playing. I will admit that I do not know everyone I photograph. Julie my assistant will meet with the artist and get information if possible. She will give business cards and exchange email addresses. Most of the time the venue for the festival will have a schedule. Also on some stages you will see banners with the artist listed from open to close. I will also ask other photographers about people I do not know and write down the information in my notebook that I carry. Once I get back to the studio I separate the photos out on the computer and hard drives into named folders. I also will make Google drives folders for the people I need to send photos to once I have processed them. Hope this helps and thanks for watching! -R

I love the vertical battery grip.

Hi there, when you shoot festivals, how do you identify the bands when you are editing the photos? Do you have some type of technique?
