Travel photography gear

what do i bring for a photography trip?

Here is my list

What are the usual equipment that I brought along to a photography trip? By photography trip, I meant it is a trip that I can manage my own timing. If I need to stay at a spot longer, I can do so.

  • Nikon D70 DSLR BodyNikon FM3A
  • Nikon FM3A Film Camera Body?
  • Nikon 17-85 kit lens from the D70
  • Tamron 90mm SP (Macro)
  • Nikon 50mm 1.8
  • Cokin ND Gradual Grey ND8 (P121L)
  • Cokin ND Gradual Grey ND4 (P121)
  • Kodak Trix 400 Black n white filmĀ ?
  • Slik Sprint GM Tripod
  • Batteries, Chargers , Memory Cards, Portable HardDisk device
  • Cleaning kit: Brush, Blower and Microfiber Cloth

For my last Laos trip, i just used a normal haversack to carry one body and one lens and whatever accessories that I might need around. The rest I would leave in my big backpack or in the guesthouse.

then buy the Nikon 18-200 VR lens if you have the budget. just note that at 200mm u need to be mindful of the shutter speed. easy to get blur photo if there is camera shake.

then check out tamron or sigma 18-200mm. of course quality will be different from nikon 18-200 vr but i think Ok for general use. :)
