Gerard Schachmes' Camera equipment


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi all,

 

This might not be relevant to a lot of you. But I'm interested in photography and was wondering if anyone knew what cameras and lenses Gerard Schachmes used during Celine's World Tour? You might also know if there has been any articles about him and what settings he used to take pictures of Celine?

 

Again, this might not be very relevant but I'm a photographer and I'm really interested.

 

Thanks guys,

 

Dan

All the info is the book with the tourpics. I don't have it at hand right now, I'll try to make a scan for you tomorrow. I don't remember details, just that he uses Nikon, about 3 or 4 cameras if I remember corectly and lots of lenses... Will get back at you with details tomorrow, if no one else does in the meantime.

He uses profesional DSLR's nikon bodies with lot of pro lenses whith ultrasonic motors autofocus, wide apertures for faster shots . He also loves wide angles. And if you want more detail, you need the book and a magnifying glass..

He's using solely Nikon equipment, just like every professional should do :icon_mrgreen: He uses the D3 but also other equipment as I've seen during the tour, but all Nikon DSLR's...

 

He sure knows what quality is :icon_mrgreen:

 

 

/me is now running away for the Canon freaks :D

haha thanks for all the info guys. I wish I could afford a Nikon D3. I'll have to have a look at what lenses he uses. I just think his shots are so crystal clear. I'd love to have a tutorial from him.

Canon rules :P i cant stand the UI for Nikon

 

though Gerard's pictures are stunning, i have to admit. guess thats one of the plus points of having one of the super expensive cameras; you get super high ISO settings :drool:

Yeah I know my camera has an ISO of 3,200 - his is like 28,000 or something like that I read.

The really high ISO is not really usable for good photos. I think Nikon D3 should be fine up to 1,600 or 3,200.

hey Dan,

 

There is a picture in the last pages of the book with all the camera's on a bed.

But think we are not allowed to post those pictures here. So I guess you either should wait for the book in English,

or , like I did, buy the French one instead ;-)

 

and - ok this is not - on-topic, but

I thought, so many People had the privilage to go on photo with Celine, and she always wears those ugly big glasses,

so wouldn't it be nice to see her eyes too?

Here you go! He uses Nikon D3 it seems, not Nikon D3X, so just 12,1 MP, not 24.5 MP.

Personally, I prefer Canon. Worked with both, both make great cameras, I just get along with Canon better.

Hope you can make out exactly what lenses he has.

Thanks for all the info everyone. I'm gonna start researching what lenses he uses and will report back. I do know that some of them cost more than twice the price of the actual camera!

I paid more on my lens than on my camera too, and it's not even professional :laugh: I wish I could afford a Canon 7D... But, since I'm not making money out of photography, I can't afford to pay all that money just for fun :(
