Bring your Camera to Work photos

Seems we all like taking photos of our cameras based on the way the Coffee and a Camera topic grew rapidly.

So, might I suggest a 'Bring your camera to work' thread? I think there would be lots of interesting opportunities for good photos showing your cameras in your normal everyday work environment.

Whadda ya think?? Is this RFF newbie way out there??
 
Not really out there, Stephen. I always bring my camera with me,so also to work. I'm working late now and I was just planning on taking a shot.
 
Great! Now we're not just wasting time at work checking out the RFF site, we're going to take photos of our cameras at work too.

JUST KIDDING! Good idea.
 
We are already taking our cameras out for coffee in the morning, might as well at least elevate it to the same status and 'Bring your kid to work' day. Bout time, no?? 🙂

Actually, I thought it would be a good way to see what everyone does for myself, another way to bring their personality into focus, and another reason for everyone to take great pics of their favorite cameras.

BTW, my Bessa R2 came in today. Used off eBay, in mint condition, with lots of accessories. Happy camper!!! You can bet which camera will be in my 'Bring your camera into work' photo. It came just in time as I am leaving now to go do some night photography in Boston tonight. Great way to test it out.
 
In some ways I am very fortunate to be able to work in a large number of different environments. I shot this around midnight on my trusty XA with Fuji CZ 800 Press. The exposure was at f/8 and whatever shutter speed the metering system selected. Care to guess what this is... and where it is?
 
A ship would be heavy and require massive supports. As would anything made of metal. I can't see any supports so it must be light. Is it an Airship in a hanger?
 
To Jfbell20: No, This is not an airship. It is a form of an aircraft carrier, and displaces better than 40,000 tones. I took the attached photo a couple of weeks later, just before it was put back into the water. You can see the hull blocks that support this little beauty. The blocks are a bit more than six feet tall.
 
OK... I get it. This is my on going project. Everytime she (USS Tarawa) is in for maintenance I have a couple of crews aboard doing repairs. Since the work often has to run around the clock, midnight is a good time for photography.
 
In port as opposed to being at sea. For the time being my area of responsibility goes from the west coast of North America to Singapore. In port anywhere between here and there.
 
Awesome shots of the ship at night. I like the last one best!

I started this thread, then I didn't even ante up with my own photos at work. So I shamed myself into taking one.

I had my cameras with me today at work, so I snapped off a quick image. This is my R2 and QL17 in front on my video editing workstation. I was working on our demo reel at the time. Because of the low light levels and everything being in black, this is actually two identical images with different exposures blended and layered in photoshop to increase the dynamic range. Its the only way I could make the cameras recognizable and keep the monitors from blowing out.

So lets see more. Your camera at work, your work environment, or ....
