Traveling Light
I’m heading up to Philadelphia and NYC over the Holidays and I wanted to share what I plan on taking with me.
You can get some pretty amazing photographs with a minor amount of inexpensive gear these days. Outside of using my iPhone, which I do often, I travel with my Domke F-5XA bag, Canon G10, (1) Nikon SB-28s, (1) Nikon SB-80, a Nikon SC-17 sync cord and a handful of filters. The key here is carrying the right gear and this little package offers complete control. The G10 can operate in full manual, a must if you want to use strobes. The SC-17 sync cord and the Nikon SB-28 allow me to get the first flash off the camera and the SB-80 slaves allowing me control of the second light. I can get a folding 6-foot-light stand and a 33-inch umbrella in my suitcase and it still fits in the overhead on the plane. This entire setup takes up about as much room as a pair of shoes.
