This had me thinking about our upcoming trip to Hawaii. And for some reason I started to chuckle about how much gear I use to carry with me while traveling. And these weren't for gigs, I'm talking just vacations. Man, I would bring just about everything I could. My Think Tank Airport Security would be FULL, and when I say full... I mean you couldn't fit another micro fiber cloth in it! LOL. Oh, and the kicker? I can remember MANY (who am I kidding, MOST) trips, where nothing but one camera, and one lens got used.
While other trips, I felt obligated to use a flash, or one of a half dozen other lenses, or what ever that was in there. Just so I mentally could say,... heck... "I used stuff". As if to sell my self that I really needed to break my back lugging all this stuff with me.
Fast forward to today. Stream line and lean and mean. Our upcoming Hawaii trip, I'm bringing one camera: Sony A6300 and two lenses. That is it! LOL.. don't ask me on which lenses I'm bringing.
I've shared my story, do you have a similar history with what you bring with you today vs 5 or 10 years ago?
Post up, let's hear your story!
I usually know what i'm trying to accomplish and only bring the right tools for the job.
Scotty, Scotty... come on bud. You just gave the perfect answer of what you SHOULD do. Have you ever brought more gear than that you needed on a vacation?
