in Thailand

I'm now on a trip in Thailand.

Nice tropical weather

Photo gear I'm taking with me:

- Nikon D700 body

- Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8

- Nikon 18-35mm f/3.5-5.6

- Gitzo 0541 tripod with RRS ballhead

- Nikon SB800 flash

- Joby Gorilla Pod SLR Zoom

Everything works nicely. Not too heavy but foolishly I forgot to bring the L-Bracket and clamp for the tripod. Crap.

I think I'll go with this setup for my Japan trip in March.

Or should I have my 70-200 f/2.8 with me?

Photos coming soon. Hopefully sometime next week we'll start seeing some cool pics.

lin & bella

I had the pleasure of doing a photoshoot for Lin & Ho today for Lin's test make-up.

love the noise

travel light?

I'm flying back to Indonesia tomorrow for three weeks and Singapore for a week.

Will go to Manado and probably Bromo or Tana Toraja depending on the time.

What do I have in my camera bag (the National Geographic backpak)? Not a lot.

One body, one lens, one flash and one tripod. That's the Nikon D300 with the 18-55mm VR lens attached, an SB600 and my Gitzo carbon fibre tripod.

Other than that it's just the standard extra battery, charger, polarizer, small netbook and an external hard drive.

Should I do film? Maybe I should. I've got myself a Nikon F100 body but I have still yet to use it. Definitely after this trip. I'm pretty sure I'll need to carry a lot less (laptop, hard drive) than what I'm carrying now.

my first holga result

Yes, it was all over the place.

Ha!

A lot of the subjects aren't in focus. I'm not sure if that's the way the Holga's supposed to be or it's my fault since I didn't use the depth of field thing.

I like some of them anyway.

Will do better next time.
