Traveling Light

January 18, 2013
Blog # 04

If I had the monetary funding to splurge on high-end gear, and lots of it if given the choice, I’d probably depart the house with the back seat of my truck loaded to the gills (not really, but it’s a thought). However, all I have to do is grab my one small camera bag and I’m out the door ready to go. Traveling light has a lot of advantages, at least where I’m concerned. Not a lot of stuff to sort through once I arrive at a destination, as the one bag slings over my shoulder, and I have at my disposal my camera…and two lenses. The bag also contains the charger, which does require an electrical source, lens cloth, filter cases, a couple extra memory discs, and a rain cover for the bag itself.

If I only need one lens for what I’m after as far as images, then I normally leave the bag placed under the back seat, and just haul the camera around. Mind you, I normally only spend maybe an hour (sometimes a bit over) when I’m out, so traveling light permits me to not expend a lot of extra energy lugging heavy gear…at least that’s my theory and I’m sticking to it for now. Oh, the water bottle I mentioned in another blog installment…that also stays in the truck for afterwards.

The ultimate point is to get out there, no matter how much gear you want to carry with you, and capture images, and have fun doing it!
