Ooops, it looks like the reply-to field is not filled with the list address anymore, so I replied directly to the original poster. One detail to pay attention, Doug.
===8<==============Original message text=============== Hi Scott, Even if climbing, skiing off trail or just hiking like 12 hours a day, I never make a second priority from photography. I don't just take pictures for documenting the trip, I try to make *the picture*. ;o) As for the rig, it depends on the degree of effort. For really difficult outings, with tight timing, I limit myself to a body, 2 zooms and set of macro tubes (5n, 28-70/4, 80-320/4.5-5.6). If gone for longer treks, with possibly a variety of subjects, or if planning for sunrises and twilights, I take the FA 50/1.4 and K 135/2.5 as well. And I never leave the tripod (Velbon Sherpa 750) and the release cable at home. The very few times I did, I always came across the most exquisite image calling for long exposures. :o( Servus, Alin Scott wrote: SN> I was just wondering what other people like to take with them for SN> hiking, mountaineering and skiing trips where photography isn't the main SN> priority.
