Thanks for comment.
Wide angle lens( 12-24mm) , tele lens ( 80-200mm) .. best if u have 300mm (or more) tele..
you need to zoom quite a lot when shooting scenery at far away distance.
Kit lens ( 17-80mm) is useful .
I only have CP ... but if u hv others like ND, bring along.
Have a nice trip.. going on your own or follow tour?

I'm going with tour group, wow i thot i only need 70-200 to catch facial expression from far, didnt expect it to be needed for scenic shots from far as well...

I thought the same too.. just brought my 12-24 n 80-200mm and it was a wrong choice esp for YuanYang....other part of yunnan is fine.
The kit lens range is good .If only visit Yuanyang, I will not bring the 12-24.
My advice is to carry only two lenses for travel.. so just make a choice.

At the moment I'm thinking of 10-20, 17-50, 70-200, TC1.4. Going to Dali, Lijiang, Shangrilla, Kunming.

These places do not have the same situation at YuanYang... your lenses selection should be fine.

Stan, top notch work as usual.

#3 and #2 just blow me away.

your nick is very uncompatible with the number of lens you are bringing. that's quite heavy....

Jason ,thx for visiting my threads...and glad you are not bored with my photos.

Whatever lens you are using, you still need to point and then shoot . Now you make me worry about the weight, I was still thinking of adding a flash to the list... but the toughest would be the tripod...:sweat:

that depends on individual build/size and whether you are doing leisure shoot in town with easy access to accomodation, or doing general backpacking or doing trekking and sports. but the general rule is if the weight of the setup alone kills you even when in sg, then forget about it when you goes overseas. so maybe you can try going around whole day in sg with that and see if it is ok with you.

for me, i reserve my tripod to dawn/evening/night

Yup likely that i will leave tripod on the coach till evening, unless got waterfall, then i may need it to get that silky water...

coach? you mean those auntie buses?

Hmm..lens is just the tools of the craftsman..

As for the pics, you did well..:thumbsup: Nice composition..I enjoy them all..

 

[PnS]

Is it that bad??? Better check my insurance coverage...

it is only safe when it is your own or chartered with only ppl you know. dun even talk abt tripod, even an entire backpack (if you put it out of sight) can disappear if you doze off.....

tools are very important. of cos knowing how to use them is the other half.
