I’m on the road again, just like Willie Nelson! Headed up Spanish Fork Canyon, through Price and out to I-70 then south to Hanksville. I’m traveling by truck so I can haul about anything I might or might not need. I’ll have at least two camera bags with me, my favorite by Think Tank because it holds a lot of gear and fits in the overhead of an airliner. I’ll have a smaller bag for just the necessities when I have to hike it to a location. The following is some of the gear I’ll take along:

1. A Canon EOS R5 mirrorless camera sporting 45 megapixels of resolution for my photographic pleasure.

2. A Canon RF 15-35mm f2.8 wide angle. It was used for my champion competition print Desert Sunrise.

3. A Canon RF 100-500mm f5.6 to f7.1 Telephoto. I used this for another one of my competition winners     last year.

4. A Canon RF 100mm f2.8 macro lens. It’s great for close up details as well as a medium telephoto lens.

5. A Canon EF 50mm f2.8 macro tilt shift lens. The shift function is great for creating panoramics.

6. Various Breakthrough brand neutral density and polarizing filters. I find their ND filters are the most neutral in color.

7. A Strikefinder II lightening trigger for photographing lightening.

8. My Android Note 9. My R5 puts out a wifi signal the phone can pick up. Using the Canon ap I can actually trigger the camera from my phone so that I don’t get any vibration from touching the shutter button.

9. Feisel carbon fiber tripod and ball head. Carbon tripods are more expensive, but their weight makes them worth every penny. My tripod and camera weigh less than my last tripod by itself.

10. I use SanDisk Extreme Pro SDHV UHS-II SD and CF express cards for their speed and reliability.

I buy my equipment from Pictureline in Salt Lake City because they are local, friendly, reliable and their service is impeccable. Service is important to a working professional.

Hopefully I’ll be on the way home Monday afternoon with a boat load of images to review and post, but if I only get a couple of great ones I will be a happy camper. I’ll let you know how it goes on Tuesday. Ta Ta for now!
