I'll leaving for US and Bahamas from 19 May to 12 June, totally 25 days for a wedding of my lady's family, and take this chance to have a long vacation before Cedric go start his school life.
So photographing is a must for this trip. But, what should I bring? Of course, a digital camera is a must, but a film camera would have better quality. Ah... a video camcorder is needed to shoot my jumping son. So my imaging packing list is:
1) Digtial Camera Konica Minolta A2, and the flash which I borrowed from my brother Wallace. Before, I decided to bring my EOS300D with 2 lenses and the flash, but consider the weight factor, I gave up this choice.
2) A water proof camera Canon Prima AS-1 for shooting at the Miami Beach and the wonderful Disney water world.
3) Medium format Mamiya 7 with 2 lenses and 10 rolls of 220 film.
4) Last, is the video camcorder.
Beside the above imaging equipment, I also bring my 15" PowerBook for saving the images and checking e-mail, web-browsing, etc, during the trip. A pair of walkie-talkie (FRS channel), mobile phone for communication. All the above is the least that I think of. Beside the equipment themself, I have to bring with their own chargers and batteries so that they can work for me. Totally, I have to bring 5 chargers and a bunch of batteries.
I'm already tired when I see the luggage.
