A week from today I'll be taking off for Phoenix...
I haven't been doing much shooting, but I imagine I'll be shooting a fair bit
on this trip. Following advice given by several here earlier, I'm taking my DS
and one lens, an a 28/2.8. There will be a lot of light, of course, and I
imagine I'll be wanting to be doing shooting mid-day.
Any suggestions? Forget it? Take a filter? If so, what kind? Anything else? I
am the rankest amateur on this list. ...
The 28mm is a very good "shoot anything" choice for a Pentax DSLR. It
is a wide-normal on the format. Be sure you have a good lens hood on
it.
I'd also bring a 50mm lens, if you have one. The combination of a wide
normal and a short portrait tele covers so much ground, for people and
scenics, travel work, that's all you need. Since you consider yourself
a rank beginner (I doubt it), don't confuse yourself with filters and
such.
Camera, one or two lenses like this, plenty of spare batteries and
memory cards. That's all you need.
Whether anyone "deserves" to be here is a matter of opinion. ]'-)
I'll agree with Godders here. Of course, I =would=, being a guy for whom
a trip with one or two focal lengths is perfectly fine.
Go, have a good time, try different things to see what works and what
doesn't. Don't worry about committing Art yet, or you'll end up paralyzed.
