My shoulders are garbage so I travel as light as possible. I have a little string backpack that I might shove a lightweight raincoat, water bottle and a small plastic container into. I try to put as much kit in my pockets as I can without looking like a lunatic on public transport. I also have a cheap bumbag for extra kit, or summertime when the heat necessitates wearing less pocket clothing.
Kit:
-
Sony A6000
-
Long lens for birds etc
-
Raynox macro lens. This clips onto the end of the long lens for instant long to macro conversion. I can snap away at insects and whip it off in a heartbeat if a good bird flies by. Means I don’t have to carry a standalone ‘proper’ macro lens.
-
Smartphone with clip-on macro lens
-
Powerbank, not that I need it much I’ve found
-
Stainless steel chopsticks. Good for prodding things.
-
Hat and sunnies all year round. This is Australia after all!
-
Washable shoes. I’d rather just get my feet wet/dirty than wear heavy boots.
-
Pocket change, for that all important post-ramble coffee and cake ^_^
