Going For A Minimalist Strategy for Taking photographs
After a while currently in Ulaanbaatar and shooting the Mongolian steppe we finally returned to civilization a while back. We're back to Bangkok (oh, how I've missed good Pad Thai!), and we'll be recharging our batteries for an additional three months before the next assignment in Cambodia.
We took the slow route home, taking train from UB due to Beijing, thereafter on by train to go to a us photojournalist friend of ours in Hong Kong before catching a flight ticket to Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi. If you have ever gone to Asia you will the many tiny, crowded camera stores around Tsim Sha Tsui are pretty much Mecca for photographers. An appointment is obviously a bit of a treat in my circumstances, and that i always leave with much, extra than I'll ever use.
This is really becoming something of your problem in my circumstances at present. I'm progressing in years, although I'm in no way past their prime it's being a bit harder regularly to lug all around the extremely heavy kit bags I've got to use to get the career done. My buddies make me aware I carry excessively as it's (Completely new six Canon BP-511 batteries within my pockets consistently, in particular) nevertheless the notion of leaving half my kit in the home really is not a solution.
The thing is, any photographer understands that the modern world doesn't follow your rules. You can not look into the sky and know without a doubt that the weather may play nice until you're done shooting, websites as bad you might want to arrange for all eventualities. In the event it gets to be a little cloudy, I'll need the hepa filter. Should the shoot runs long, I'll need this fast lens to deal with the low light. This flash. That tripod. When a day's drive in the nearest town you cannot afford to take chances, and also you need everything currently happening.
It's all regulated ending up with a little an excess of, though. 90 days of trekking through Mongolia almost killed me, and quite often that 15kg of it technology felt such as a noose around my neck. I cant try this again.
Therefore i won't. It is time for any huge improvement in how Sometimes. I must accept that Could not have all the features along with me quite frequently. I would like to pare down my gear, and be able to deal with things i have. Those batteries I said earlier, by way of example. I usually carry six Canon BP-511 spares for my Canon 10D. We do it without thinking, however the combined weight of those batteries is sort of half a kilo. That's insane.
From now on, I'm never shooting there are more than 10kg into my kit. A single body, three lenses and several absolute essentials. No well over three Canon BP-511 batteries will ever live throughout my pocket. The Leica will stay inside your home - I never shoot 35mm no matter the reason. Corporations couple of days We tinkering with this, and the potential possibly there is for a pared down kit to build me a better photographer. I'm hoping every time they visit me think more carefully within the shot, resisting the impulse to work with every weapon with my arsenal over several thousand shots, looking for the most perfect moment.
One man. One camera. One lens. The way that photography must be.
