A pic from a quick photoshoot I did yesterday.

Anybody up for a swim?

Took a road trip with my youngest son from his home near Seattle to deep south Texas last November. We made several photo stops along the way. This is a composite panorama of 4 portrait mode exposures stitched into a pano of a canyon in NW Utah that is the site of a 2000 coal mine disaster.

Looks like it can be used in the scapes mode in the Gran Turismo games!

And what I'm about to say is a matter of technical interest only. It has no bearing on your photos and the camera has no appeal to me what so ever.
The camera will shoot at 50 fps RAW with focus and no screen black out with select lenses. Buffer is good for about 2 seconds. Yeah, it's "only" 20mp but I still think it's impressive. A great way to fill your memory card.

I used to hang glide along an escarpment (about 150-200 meters height) that went for about 10 kms. At the time there was a huge lake filled with water (and it's now quite full after being dry for about 20 years) upwind of the ridge. We would occasionally see pelicans flying ground effect across the water and the distance they would travel without flapping their wings was amazing for all us kite pilots.

Me thinking out loud. Well, not really "out loud" but putting thoughts to print.
I've been thinking about travel quite a bit of late. Not that it's going to happen any time soon but I've been considering the camera strategy.
The plan was 2 Olympus bodies with permanently attached lenses because the very concept of changing lenses while out and about is a complete anathema to me.

Not that I would be taking two cameras everywhere I went (I have the Sony RX100vi for everyday pics) but I'm now thinking that's quite a bit of weight to be carrying, they require more care, perhaps a bigger theft risk, just more hassle.

Now I'm thinking I'll just take the little Sony. I have done a lot of travel with just a compact and I'm happy to use a tripod with same (even though I think it looks a little weird lol *shrug*).
The biggest disadvantage of plan is lost opportunities but having said that I would have to work within the limitations of the camera which is something I've always done.

The advantage is the camera is small enough to be pocketable and would always be with me as would a pocket tripod which I have used to great effect. (I would also have a larger lightweight tripod for night excursions.)

My prominent thought is I'm a tourist with a camera, not a photographer out on assignment.

I'm thinking the reduced worry would be worth the loss of some quality and opportunities. It would be easier all round.

I've been using a pocket cam and small tripod for all the travel shots here on the site.
Supplemented with the phone for some panoramas on occasion.
The tripod legs extend to about a yard and work well with the timer for lower light.
The camera has a setting for shooting through windows, so that's been handy when I remember.

Just another Existential question a photog would contemplate.

Question: why did you buy a nice camera? May as well get your money out of it!

When I travel my photography is much a part of it. How much I take depends on mode of transport, location & who im traveling with. Oh and the bag I choose to put all the stuff in.

Some of my best trips with the camera(DSLR) was with a Bicycle.

A few required travel picts?

One of those front red bags was ¾ just camera stuff.

Top of the Rock, a 3 shot Pano w a 24MM and carrying a 30 L backpack to hold all the Photo loot.

NY messenger 24MM at 1/6th sec. It was overcast with rain and snow and a stupid slow speed was just a natural.

If getting your photo equipment to a destination is a bother or worry then why not go the route 99% use? A decent cell phone can make for a good primary camera or even as backup.
I did not know this couple but she had a great smile, just an opportunity with a sneaky extra wide lens.(10mm 4.8 1/45sec). My Cell has become a backup to my backup
