For the Gear Head
I’m afraid that you gear heads out there
will be disappointed. I travel pretty light and pretty cheap.
At the time of this writing I’m using a Nikon D200 camera. The vast majority
of my shots are taken using a non-cpu 35-70 Nikkor zoom lens that came as a
package with my previous film camera. Sometimes I use a 19mm Vivitar wide
angle lens.
For close work I have a set of diopter lenses that I screw onto the Nikkor
lens. On very rare occasions I might use a 2X tele-extender with the Nikkor
or a 70-300 ProMaster zoom that I have.
I put polarizing filters on all my lenses and I leave them on most of the
time.
I'm pretty rough on tripods. I drop them down hillsides, I get them covered
in mud, and sometimes I whack them on rocks to dislodge ice that builds up
on the legs in the winter. I can't bring myself to treat a really
expensive tripod that way so I mostly carry a forty or fifty buck
job from Velbon. Usually it has duct tape on it somewhere.
I have tried several different image editing software packages – Bibble,
Lightroom, GIMP, Photoshop, etc. I always fall back to Corel PaintShop. I
guess I get the best results from it just because I’ve been using it for
years and I’m comfortable with it.
I’m using an Epson R1800 printer at the moment. I mostly print on Moab
Entrada Natural Rag Matte paper.
