A Travel Photographers Accessory Kit
Travel Photography is a funny thing. Just when you think you have the perfect system some situation arises to make you think the contrary. Over the years I have tried new things that I liked and ones that I did not. Some things that have stuck around are my trusty Mac Book Pro (although it has been upgraded through the years), my filter kit which includes a polarizer, UV, graduated ND’s and ND’s and Zip Lock Bags; these may seem silly but in a humid and rainy country these have saved my gear more than once.
My Panasonic GH1: The Perfect Travel Companion
Before I hit the road for a long travel I usually spread out all of my camera gear and take stock of what I have and what I need for that particular trip. This is almost always a simple task and more a formality really. But this time is different. We were going to be on the road for close to a year and weight becomes a huge issue. You are not just jumping on a plane, then into a car and driving everywhere you go. You are on busses, rickshaws, trains and any other mode of transportation you can think of and you have to carry everything you need for a year on your back.
Traveling with a New Camera: The Hurdles
After deciding on the Panasonic GH1 the next step was to learn my way around the camera. It is always good to learn a little bit about your camera before hitting the road.

Not recommended.

I have come up with these questions that will give you a starting point when wading into the unpredictable waters of buying that digital camera for your next travel.
