Got the Vanguard 58T and pgytech 11L bag. Going to bring film camera too, restock over Canada side. The 200-600 into the roller bag, limited space after that. 2 x FF inside the 11L bag, the rest in roller bag. Still got about 10 power bank as I am doing time lapse, hope all in nicely :D

Test out the grip of both if you also into street photography. My hand are big, when hold the A6k with 200-600mm also need to hold tight. Therefore, a7rc body also small, might stress your wrist too. Around 3 more months for me to chiong USA/Canada, just brought the a7r mk3, using it for time...

Check out their video. Depends on the extra features whether you need it or not in the end. For my kind of photography, a7r3 more than enough as I am more into time lapse and a bit of wide life (I mainly use a6k for it but might upgrade if needed.) If features on a7r5 overkill for you, a7cr...

Following Solar and Lunar Eclipse happening and therefore, will be visiting countries which got the happening there, provided that I never visit before for it. :D With Google map, most countries are ok on checking out the location, else if not able to, I wouldn't be going over. Age is catching...

Brought 12mm-24mm gm n 200-600mm recently after covid. Now planning for trips up to 2034, 2 years once and for about 1 month. Maybe need to change to 16-35GM also, current cz too heavy and adapter keeps on failing, no f stop connection some time, bad for during time lapse. Mostly will invest on...

Maybe can try camera hospital.

I went to NZ for the lunar eclipse recently. I saw a lot of passenger carrying bags larger than my camera bag (AW200) and still allow to bring up the plane. Therefore, if I get a slightly larger size for a tele (200-600mm) and a telescope, then use the padding from my camera bag for lenses and...

Went back again for lunar eclipse and manage to capture the whole sequence. Saw a video that the milkyway tail is forming an arch, I went to the hill top at Christchurch and manage to capture it. Funny thing is that weather forecast says it's cloudy but fine on top but whole town already in fog...

For me, get a good CPU (16 cores and above, in case you want to try time lapse), 64GB ram, mid range GPU xx70/80 series (unless you want to game). Then a fast SSD for editing those photos, mostly helps (for my case). A NAS or large TB for storage, NAS would be more ideal but can buy when about...

Idk but on 30th, last rehearsal, there is another set of fireworks around 840pm. I was packing up and missed most of it :(

Initially, want mount fuji as background for eclipse, but as you said, not open plus from what I sees, mostly cloudy due to Nov. Same applies to Taiwan, but using 101 as background. So, I head south, Australia but they requested me to have a permit n I went solo, hard for toilet breaks if...

Nov is coming, back to NZ. USA/Canada rough plan is out, adjusting here and there. Mostly going to Iceland and Faroe island together in 2026, save time and also $. Hope still able to walk after all those trips, haha! Life is short, see more before gone, $ can earn back as long you willing to...

Last evening, I went to orchard road to do time lapse but ended up due to interference from other source, my Edelkrone device failed to work. But I still brought along the RX10mk4 for what I been planned to do so. Description is at the video, do it if you willing to let your DSLR snap till...

My last is 28 days at nz solo. Next, 2024, 26 n 28, am planning for Japan, usa/Canada, Iceland, Australia. All got lunar or solar eclipse happening during the trip. After that, if still healthy n can afford, then plan again. So, where you going soon or wait for covid totally gone before planning?
