Packing For Photography: What I Had vs. What I Took

What I had in my camera bag on a recent morning before I went to photograph nature.

What was in the bag

What I actually took on my shoot (in a small bag), because it's all I thought I could reasonably need.

And you know what? I didn't use any of it. All I ended up needing was the lens on my camera.

If you need more stuff, by all means take it. Otherwise, consider leaving it in the camera bag in the car. Trust me. Your back will thank you.

Rebecca can also be found talking about this and that at Ramblings by Reba.

I am married to my best friend. That sounds cheesy, but it's true. I love photography, reading, and napping (but not necessarily in that order).

    Great advice. I always end up taking more than I need, and very rarely do I use any of it.

    YOU HAVE AN OLYMPUS. You are the only person I know, other than me of course, that has an Olympus.

    My burning question is this: Do you ever get frustrated by how dark your pictures turn out, even when you try to adjust with exposure shift?

Will you see the new Twilight movie New Moon on Friday?
