Photo Trip Expeditions

What gear do I need to bring on a phototour.

Suggested list of camera equipment to bring on a Photo Tour.

  • Super-wide zoom 7-14, 10-20  mm APS-C or 14-24 mm full frame (Landscape)
  • Standard zoom 12-60 or 17-55 mm  APS-C or 24-70 mm full frame (Landscape/Portrait)
  • Telephoto zoom 45-200 or  80 – 200 mm (Landscape/Portrait)
  • Super telephoto zoom 150 – 600 mm (Wildlife)

  • Camera bag: the Think Tank Airport line is great for traveling. Here is one that can hold your laptop, camera and all that you need and more:  Or invest in a smaller bag, like the Lowepro Slingshot.
  • One or two camera bodies (it’s best to have a back up just in case your shutter dies on the trip, which happens with older cameras)
  • Polarizing filter for each lens to get the best blues in your sky
  • Inside pockets: 16 GB memory cards (2), lens brush, cleaning cloth, camera manual, sunglasses, other glasses, sharpie marker, leatherman tool (carried in checked bag until destination), extra camera battery, charger, adapter for country destination, flashlight, water bottle, zip-lock bags, extra luggage tag
  • External hard drive
  • Computer and charger
  • Travel tripod (optional)
  • Flash card reader
