It has been a while since I posted on this blog, though I have put up a few postings on my other blog.<\/p>\n
I have been having a great time in Tokyo. <\/p>\n
One of the photographic issues I have been having is what equipment to bring with me when I go out.<\/p>\n
My fully loaded camera bag weights in around 20lbs… It is a workout lugging it around all day. I have been offered a cart to put it on but I am not a fan of the constant vibration that would subject my gear to. <\/p>\n
So on any particular day what to take with me?
My 50 and 85…. For sure
My 70-200… It draws a lot of attention…. I have been asked to stop shooting most often when I have this lens on
Lens baby? Difficult to carry… I keep it in a Tupperware container to protect it. After some feedback on my images I am using it less… people were getting tired of the effect.
My 100… Great macro lens… Tack sharp… don’t shoot Macro very often
Flash
Batteries
And of course my 1d body<\/p>\n
Some times, when I want to draw very little attention, I put a small assortment into my MEC shoulder bag.
This requires me to guess what I will be shooting. As much as I plan, there is something I want that I left behind…
Great macro… Left the 100 behind…
Nice water shot… No polarizer
Intereting movement or sport left the 70-200 at the house.
To complicate issues, I had budgeted the purchase of a wide or a wide zoom ( I like buying used, so it depends on what I can find).
The shutter in my primary 1d gave up a couple of weeks ago. A un-budgeted expense. So I have to decide, fix the body, or buy a lens. <\/p>\n
I plan on some side trips were both would be useful.
Tough decisions…. food or gear{jcomments on}<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
