So hard to choose the one

The one… camera bag I mean. Because I have been having sleepless nights over deciding what camera bag to bring on this trip… you would think… photographer… lots of gear.. bring everything in a very large backpack, right? Wrong!
I wasn’t solely photographing on this trip, was catching up with some friends, and meeting potential clients, also scouting locations for a possible bridal shoot next year. So, photography was more incidental than anything. In fact, I considered bringing just a compact camera, (Fuji F200EXR) which has a sufficient zoom range for landscape to telephoto (28-140) but talked myself out of it at the last moment….and its got great dynamic range… just look at this picture!

But in the end, I couldn’t bring myself to leave the slr behind.
So this is essentially what it came down to:
(cue dramatic music)
sling bag or backpack…

More to come tomorrow…
