In this episode of Cowgirls with Cameras, we’re talking about gear and gadgets we love, from little tools that get you experimenting to bigger upgrades that change how you work.

We explore creative extras like portable fog machines and lights that project patterns, along with accessories that make working in the field a little easier. We also tackle what photographers should consider when shopping for an editing computer, including the laptop-versus-desktop debate, Mac versus PC, and why a bigger monitor isn’t necessarily a better one.

And we’re sharing why moving from DSLR to mirrorless has made such a difference in our equine photography, from tracking moving horses to switching between stills and video during client sessions.

Whether you’re weighing a major purchase or looking for something fun to shake up your next shoot, come hear what we’re using, what we’re loving, and what’s on the wish list. Consider this fair warning for your camera budget.
