Mindshift Gear gives Moose Peterson backpacks a facelift

19 Jul

Mindshift Gear has given the Moose Peterson backpack range an update with new design elements and materials, according to the California-based company. The bags now feature tuck-away belts and harnesses, stronger seams and shoulder straps as well as new zipper pulls that make it easier to open and close the compartments when wearing gloves. The three bags each retain the original ‘Moose Ear’ automatically closing flaps that help to keep dust out of the main sections of the bags, but now the bags are slightly larger to take accomodate bigger modern DSLR cameras.

The bags each hold three DSLR bodies with attached lenses, with the MP-1 V2.0 being the larger model that’s suitable for very long lenses, and the MP-7 V2.0 is the smaller, but still capable of holding a 70-200mm type lens on one of the bodies. The MP-1 V2.0 is priced at $ 349.99, the MP-3 V2.0 is $ 279.99 and the MP-7 V2.0 is $ 199.99.

Press release:

MindShift Gear and Moose Peterson Collaborate to Update Classic Moose Peterson Outdoor Photography Backpacks

SANTA ROSA, CALIF. – Working in partnership with renowned wildlife photographer Moose Peterson, MindShift Gear has updated the three classic Moose Peterson backpacks. Initially designed for wildlife and safari photographers, the backpacks feature a three-compartment layout that helps protect their gear from the elements.

The Moose Pack series is available in three sizes: MP-1, MP-5 and the smallest, the MP-7. The backpacks can carry up to three DSLR camera bodies with telephoto lenses attached—up to 600mm f/4. This strategy enables photographers to be ready to capture wildlife at any distance without changing lenses or exposing the sensor to the elements.

The backpacks also feature the same innovative “Moose Ear” flaps that close automatically, protecting camera gear from dust and debris common in wildlife photography. And because nature photographers often travel to remote locations, the packs are designed to meet airline carry on requirements, and even fit in the overhead compartment of the smallest regional jets.

Moose Peterson is a recognized Nikon USA Ambassador, Lexar Elite Photographer, recipient of the John Muir Conservation Award, and Research Associate with the Endangered Species Recovery Program. He also shares his knowledge through writing, being published in over 143 magazines worldwide, authoring 28 books including Photographic FUNdementals and Taking Flight and Captured, and lecturing across the country to thousands of photographers. As one of the original Nikon shooters to receive the D1 in 1999, Moose became the first wildlife photographer to shoot strictly digital.

“Moose Peterson backpacks are renowned for serving the needs of traveling photographers,” said Doug Murdoch, Think Tank Photo’s CEO and lead designer. “It has been a joy collaborating with him on bringing these classic designs back to the marketplace. While their design and materials have been enhanced, the designs of all three backpacks retain Moose’s original vision.”

Seeing More Creatively with Bryan Peterson

21 Jul

creativity2

Bryan Peterson is well known for his photography books and workshops. He’s also now one of the featured photography teachers on Adorama TV. You can get his book Learning to See Creatively on Adorama.com.

In these three videos Bryan gives us a few tips on doing just that.

Seeing Creatively

This first video is a quick tip on using Selective Focus:

In this second video Bryan is leading a workshop, ironically on the Oregon coast where I was just two weeks ago. This video shows how to get creative shooting things on the beach.

Make note they are shooting a starfish but they did not harm it or pull it off the rocks which can damage his little arms (please take care to do that if you are shooting on a beach for last week’s photography challenge). 

Lastly this video shows three quick tips on how to add motion to your images in an abstract and creative way.

Hopefully these have given you some ideas to get out and shoot.
