I have two basic shooting modes. 1. Walkarounds: Camera on neck strap with one lens, possibly a second in pocket.
2. Fun Nature Shoots with Ken and Bill: Camera on tripod with long lens, possibly one or two additional lenses and a 2X converter in fanny pack. 3. Serious Work Shoots: Pelican Case with two bodies, twelve lenses, 2X converter, seven filters, a number of hoods, spare batteries, handheld meter, and lens cleaning equipment. A second soft bag with laptop computer. > On 8/4/05, Keith Whaley, discombobulated, unleashed: > > >But then, most choices are a compromise of some sort...
