In your bag 724, Mathias Ertnaes
Mathias is only 16, but already has a bag full of cool film gear. I wish I had this lot when I was 16. Check it out.
My name is Mathias Ertnaes.
I`m 16 years old, from Norway, going to school for photography and general media production.
I have been shooting for as long as I can remember, but went serious with it about two years ago. I got myself a Canon DSLR and started shooting a lot more. After a while of shooting, I ended up in a period where I weren’t inspired to shoot at all. I was sick of having full control, of just shooting and knowing that everything was about right.
After some months of not shooting, I found an old Polaroid in a friend of my dads garage. (we were cleaning it out, because he was moving) I got it from him as a payment for the work, and the next day I headed to my local camerashop and got some Instanfilm for it. I shot this as my only analog for about three months. Then I got my dads old Nikon EM and started shooting «normal» film.
I shoot mostly street.
So thats a piece of my story. Here`s the part you are all here for.
I will often just bring one camera, but if I bring it all, heres what I`ll bring:
1. Canonet QL17 (not GIII) (With a lens cap I think is from a Canonet 28, and a homemade strap
2. Polaroid Land Camera 1000 (green button edition)
3. Nikon EM with Makinon 28-80 f3,5
4. Makinon 80-200 f4,5
5. iPad mini (using it mostly as a music player, but also as a writing tool.)
6. Macbook Pro (I don’t feel like I need to talk about it, we all got one.)
7. Tictacs
8. Läkerol box (I don’t do drugs, I do Läkerol)
9. iPhone charger
10. Rayban Clubmasters in aluminum (keeping it cool)
11. iPhone 4s with a P.A.P. pocket-thingy (last iPhone under Steve`s management.. I`ll be keeping this as long as possible)
12. Leather Gloves (Norway is cold)
13. Umbrella (I don’t like rain)
15. Kendama
16. bag I got for like 50 bucks
The Canonet, I saw on eBay for 10 bucks, so I just had to buy it. It isn’t the GIII, but I think this is better looking. I need to unstuck the aperature-blades, as I got it just a few days ago and haven’t really had the time to do yet. On in I got a DIY strap made out of an old handbag, some keychains and some bolts/nuts.
The Land Camera 1000 is really something else. I just love the feel of shooting instant-film. And as this is an autofocusing camera with only an option to change the exposure comp, it makes you having even less control.
The EM is really my go-to analog, as it got some zoom and is an aperture priority camera. Its just easier to shoot everything when you don’t have to think that much.
I`m prepared for all weather…
I pretty much shoot any film i can afford, and i send it away to develop. I`m getting into developing my own B&W, but i haven’t perfected it yet..
I haven’t really started uploading my analog work, but you cam find some of my digital here:

P.S. I do have a big bag of DSLR equipment, as i go to school for Photography, but that isn’t really that exciting to share.
Well thats it! Hope you liked my bag.
