What do I need to bring on a photowalk?
There is of course the obvious answer, your camera. But you should put some thought into how much gear you want to haul around with you. For those of you that carry a DSLR try to think in terms of being a minimalist when it comes to your gear. My best advice is to stick with two to three lenses. Two would probably be best, a wide to medium zoom and a medium to telephoto zoom would probably cover most scenarios. Tripods are a personal choice but they will add to your load and you may run into some issues when trying to use them, you could try a monopod instead. Make sure that you have adequate storage cards or film. A well charged camera battery is something to add to your checklist. The best advice is to travel light, a camera bag or photo-backpack will feel twice as heavy after you have walked a few kilometres. Other items to note are comfortable shoes and clothes that suit the weather (think layers).
