Link to your gear

[Jeremy Winterberg]

So, my list of gear is piling up as I progress, and over at photography-on-the.net forums (canon forums) they have a thread dedicated to everyone's gear they have, to limit the size of signatures. Basically you link to your entry on this thread in your sig.

To do this is very simple.

Step One: Reply to this with what you want in your "gear list". It can have anything from your computer specs, to camera bodies, lenses, or even children I suppose. (Basically anything you want to say in your sig but don't want to take up the room.)

Step Two: Right click on the reply number of your reply, and select "copy shortcut".

Step Three: Go to your control panel by clicking on "You!" in the nav bar, and then edit your signature.

Step Four: Type a name for you link. Something like "Heres my Gear". Select that text, and click on the hyperlink button in the message editing window. (looks like a globe with a chain link in front of it). A window will pop up asking for the URL. hilight http:// by clicking and draging over it, and paste the shortcut you copied earlier (can be done by pressing CTRL (CMD) + V or by going to Edit and paste in your browser's menu, or by right clicking and selecting paste.

Step Five: Save your signature.

And now you have a slick looking gear free signature, and your own custom gear list. Which you can edit at any time!

Funny you bring this up today. I just did this yesterday. My sig line was becoming a section all on its own. :D

[Manfr3d]

Why would I care to tell everyone what my kit is? And how would that help
anybody else except the marketing department?

For example I've just seen on digital-photography-school that the site polls
their visitors/users about which computer program they use, which computer
they have, which camera brand they have, which lenses they are going to
buy, which ones they owned etc. It's clear that they will use this data commercial (to get adds, sponsors, ...).

I'm not saying this is happening here, but with the dummy 5 step instructions above it reminds me of it.
Arr the grief :-) but maybe someone can enlighten me why participating in these show-us-your-data-polls makes sense. :dunno

[Cygnus Studios]

Some potential clients may view your gear list (or want you to list your gear) to determine if you have the necessary gear to handle a particular job.
A lot of commercial clients now seem to be doing this, especially real estate companies.
Keep in mind that today more than ever photographers are competing for jobs with every tom, dick and harry who happens to buy a dslr. These people walk out of the store with a kit lens and believe they can bid for any job on the planet.

[Manfr3d]

A professional photographer has a website with photos. I never imagined that a clients that pays actually money for a job goes and digs in some forums to see if that photographer has the glass.

Besides people hire photographers because of their artistic and professional abilities (= what kind of pictures are in their portfolio) and not by how much gear they have (= how long their signature line is).

I agree that it should be this way, but I see and hear a lot of just this kind of thing. Somebodies brother in law or friend has this idea of what professional gear is supposed to be, or what brand it is supposed to be.
Any good photographer knows that it is the person behind the equipment that makes the image good, the equipment just makes the job easier.
I have actually read ads that specify a specific camera system. I get a good laugh about it and move on, but this is happening more frequently.

If it isn't happening in your area, be thankful. Having to explain to someone that one specific system isn't the only company that makes pro equipment is a waste of time.
Just the other night I had a person tell me the pros only use medium format. It took all I had not to laugh in this persons face.

[Jeremy Winterberg]

umm... this isn't a poll... i don't know where you got that at all... I don't care what gear you have. This is mearly a convenience to everyone. Signatures get jammed up with stuff (gear) that shouldn't be there. This is a way to make your signature smaller so its easier and less annoying to read threads. And people that do want to see what gear you have... or what you have for sale... or anything random you want in your sig but don't want to take up the space... they can view your post on here.

The "5 step dummy" process... Is for those that are not very good with computers... I know there has to be a few on here. I figured I could save time by explaining the whole process for those that are still stuck back in Large Format Camera times (not saying that those are bad cameras cause they're amazing and I'm not saying old people do not know how to use computers cause alot of you do! just a figure of speach)

If anything this thread gets good use for myself. I wanted to do this to free up space in my signature, and so I started a thread so that EVERYONE could do this too if they wanted to. Sorry I was trying to think of others.

If this was a poll it would say... POLL: Noob here looking to see what AMAZING cameraz yous guyz owns lolz rofl...

so, drop the whole... "I dont get why marketers are trying to figure me out" thing, cause this isn't that kind of thing.

how about just take a picture of our gear?

HAHAHA thats great. ummm well you can do that if you want... it doesn't HAVE to be a text list. Be creative, come up with funky ways to strut your stuff...

[bhowdy]

I don't think this is a bad idea. It's up to the individual to add the link in their signature or not.

I read (and occasionally post) at both the Digital Grin and POTN forums, I know that others here do so as well .... don't deny it ... I see you there too! :wink

I find it interesting to look at other's photo galleries, I have actually learned a good bit by studying how other folks compose their images, exif data, etc..

It's fun to look at the gear kits that some folks have .... I have actually seen replies tp topics where a person is debating the merits of a camera or lens, when I check their gear they don't even have the item being discussed!

I realize that having an impressive gear list does not make a person an accomplished photographer .... having an operating room in your home, doesn't make you a surgeon either! (I know .... maybe a bit over the top, but you understand my point)

Just my 2 cents worth. :thumb

[Jeremy Winterberg]

:agree

[Shima]

I think this is a good idea to clean up our signature clutter. I like to look at people's gear lists so I can see if we use the same lens and how they utilize that lens differently or if they use a lens I am considering buying and how they use it, etc.

This is not always true.....I personally have lost jobs because a prospect only new the name of a camera....some were due to not owning Hassleblad, Canon, & Nikon.....at these times I was shooting with Fuji (AX3), Yashica 124G, RicohFlex(2 1/4sq twin lenses), Contax, and Kiev (in 2 1/4sq and 645 formats) ......all these cameras were very capable of doing what the porspect wanted but someone had said only use a photog that uses such and such....even tho the portfolio I showed the propect was in 24x36" fullcolor, tack sharp and nearly grainless (you could see the pores of the people in the portraits and the pores of the metal product I had shot as well as the pores in the woodgrain products.....so it is not always the ability that people shop for because someone some where said it can only be done with such and such......I have never had my lighting questioned......

This is why I am having such a hard time with my camera brand switch........

While I agree that the "Signature" area is not the best place for an equipment list, at the Digital Grin we would prefer that you add your equipment list to your "Profile" under the heading of "Equipment".

While there is not much opportunity for a formatted list, you can certainly put the basics there. That way, someone reading your post can check your equipment against any questions relating to additional equipment in order to formulate an appropriate reply.

I see that you, Jeremy, have done that and I thank you for doing it.

If you think that a more elaborate equipment listing is a good idea, I'm fine with that, but I'm not sure it needs a separate sticky. It would probably be added to an existing sticky like "How to do Most Anything", but that's not my area of responsibility.

Ok, sounds good. Just wanted to put it out there what I was thinking. Yeah, I think a more detailed equipment list is needed, especially when people are seeking advice on doing something such as a photoshoot for a company (came up in another thread).

I didn't know what exact equipment he had, coulding find it anywhere (he didn't have anything listed in his sig, profile or anywhere), so I just started giving him advice on what I would do with what I have and it turns out he had most of the same equipment I was talking about. But I had no clue.

Also in your profile, there isn't a whole lot of room to list your gear, you can put maybe 1-2 bodies and lenses... not much more than that.:dunno

just food for thought...

[Jeremy Winterberg]

bump? I think people may have forgotten about this thread... thought I'd give it another shot for others to join in on the non cluttered signatures act of 2009.

I love my 804RC2 head, but many prefer using ballheads, and i upgraded to Gitzo tripod series and RRS ballhead and i never look back.

I have more equipment i didn't added there, if i have to write the full list of my gear that may take full long page.

Posting gear in your signature is to rolling with Commie Zeiss as Eddie Griffin is to James Earl Jones.

A professional photographer has a website with photos. I never imagined that a clients that pays actually money for a job goes and digs in some forums to see if that photographer has the glass.

Besides people hire photographers because of their artistic and professional abilities (= what kind of pictures are in their portfolio) and not by how much gear they have (= how long their signature line is).

Even 25 ago I was asked and lost jobs due to not having the equipment that clients thought I should have to do the job............I had an in-depth discussion with a prospective client and knew exactly what kind of product he wanted shot.......so i went an bought a similar item and shot it on my kitchen table with a non Hassleblad camera and produced a 30x40 print.......from film from a manual 35mm camera with a 70-210 lens........I waited until I knew the work had been done and was paid for and then I presented the company's Pres. with that print and the accompanying slide with several pin holes so it could not be used in the future and the print had my siggy in gold and was stamped on the back.......

I did get work from them later on and charged him out the waaaaazooo
Then the company folded:cry

[Art Scott]

Signatures get jammed up with stuff (gear) that shouldn't be there. This is a way to make your signature smaller so its easier and less annoying to read threads. And people that do want to see what gear you have... or what you have for sale... or anything random you want in your sig but don't want to take up the space... they can view your post on here.

The "5 step dummy" process... Is for those that are not very good with computers... I know there has to be a few on here. I figured I could save time by explaining the whole process for those that are still stuck back in Large Format Camera times (not saying that those are bad cameras cause they're amazing and I'm not saying old people do not know how to use computers cause alot of you do! just a figure of speach)

.



As to the sig line.......personally I think if your equipment list is too large for your sig line then put it on your website and link to it......even if that means creating the list in photoshop and saving as a jpg, or gif...........

I do not see any advantage of listing in another thread................that seems a little unprofessional..................

I can see your point coming from a clients perspective. However, I do not intend on linking a client to a forum, so they can see my gear. If a client will only hire me based on the equipment I use, I dont want to work with them. I only work with people that want me for me, myself, and I alone.

The point of linking to another thread in your sig is to give other users of the forum a list of everything you use. So that when you ask for suggestions, they can see what you have to work with. Similar to how most people will venture over to your website to see your work when you make a critique on someone's photo.

Example A. Photog A asks Photog B how to use off camera flash. Photog B clicks on the link to his gear post, sees that photog a has two SB800's (one is his main flash, the other is a backup), no lightstands, no transmitters, no umbrellas or other modifiers. photog b makes suggestions based on the equipment listed.

Example B. Photog a asks photog b how to use off camera flash. Photog b checks photog a's profile to see that only his camera body and lens is listed. Photog b assumes photog a has no flash, and suggests to purchase one and then further suggestions would follow. Photog a explains to photog b that he, in fact, does own two SB800's. photog b states he didn't see it listed, and embarrassingly suggests him to read the strobist blog.

Now, you say, why not just list it all in your sig to begin with? Because huge signatures get very annoying when trying to read through posts. I started this thread back when I mostly checked this site on my Blackberry. On the blackberry long signatures become VERY annoying. To the point that I started hating when certain people would make posts.

So, in the context of which I meant this to be used.. it is not unprofessional.
