My wife and I are heading for the UK for two weeks starting October 20th. We will have a car for part of the time. My wife understands that photography is a major goal and is okay with that...as long as she can go sailing.
The kit I am pretty sure I will take: K-3 with battery pack Sigma 10-20/4-5.6 DA 16-45/4 DA-WR 55-300 FA 35/2 FA 50/2.8 macro *istD for backup and IR Lowepro Computrekker AW for the pack Lowepro Nova 3 for walkabouts Manfrotto lightweight tripod Lots of filters, batteries and cards. I'm also wondering about taking: DA* 16-50/2.8 Tamron 500/8 mirror What do you think? Two more questions: 1. I am debating whether I want to take a laptop computer, just to back up my cards onto. I had a card go bad on me two weeks ago and now I'm paranoid. 2. Apart from Cotty, is there anything else in the UK worth photographing? >> Quoting Mark Roberts <[email protected]>: >> >>> I'm just winding down my UK trip hiking through Yorkshire.
