weigh-in

My luggage weighed in at 48 pounds with 30 in my backpack and 18 in my knapsack. My knapsack is almost all photographic equipment and there is probably another 5 to 6 pounds in the backpack. So, my weight is about evenly divided between clothing and photos equipment.

I want to get photos of wildlife, specially birds in the wild. This means my 8-inch, 300mm telephoto plus a 1.7x teleconverter. This also means, I nee a tripod and ballhead. The combined magnification will be about 765mm. The ballhead features panoramic capabilities, so I can snap photos like my good friend, Larry.

  1. Wow...24 pounds of camera gear. What do you have in your photo bag? The shots you have uploaded are wonderful. If you have time, check out www.hdrsoft.com. This is what I am playing with now. Go ahead and rub it in; we are expecting a real snow tomorrow. Larry
