- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
I have searched the forum and had just a few quick questions.
First off - hello. I've travelled around the world quite a bit and shoot for fun and for myself. It's developed into an obsession - not a business as I do something else for money not related to photography at this time.
Anyhow, it started in the bolivian amazon and has ended in asia and all the countries in between. During these years I've amassed:
D800E
Nikkor 24X70mm lens (which is heavy!)
105mm macro lens (which is also very very heavy)
50mm f1.8 (yes, I know I should have gotten the 1.4 but they didn't have any in Hanoi. Long story)
To try to cut down weight I've upgraded my tripod to a Gitzo. I am getting a little tired of all this bloody weight and this years three month travel plans include trekking in Nepal and I don't want to carry too much weight.
What would you all suggest that I bring? I really love my macro lens but I fear it's just too much to bring. I've lugged that thing around for 2 years now and between that and my 24X70 it's getting to be just too much.
Thank you all for any advice that you have.
One thing that I can recommend is Think Tank cases. They are about the best thing that I can recommend for all photographers. It's really meant to last a lifetime.
Thanks again.
