Bank of the West Classic 2010

Just like every time you shoot and event, you need to do a check on all your gear. Today I am gearing up to go to Palo Alto to visit Stanford and cover the Bank of the West Classic.

The gear line up includes the following Canon equipment: 5D MKII, 1D MKII and MKIII bodies, 70-200mm 2.8L, 16-35mm 2.8L, 400mm 2.8L series lenses, chargers, batteries, Think Tank International bag, a speed belt also by Think Tank, a MacBook Pro and a mono-pod.

Last year Marion Bartoli of France took the win.
