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!
