Just some brightness adjustment using photoscape basic.In my camera bag
My bag is simple. My FujiXT10 the xa1 is now my backup body. I work with only 2 lenses. Fuji 16 to 55mm F2.8 and a Fuji kit lens 50 to 210 F4. Two extension tubes that communicate with the xt10. 1 reversing ring. Several batteries and 2 battery chargers. A Vivitar Autothyristor 2800 flash with homemade diffuser. When I got out to take pics all I have is the xt10 my 2 lenses a couple of batteries and a lens cleaning cloth in a small bag. If Im doing indoor shooting then I bring my speed flashes and other equipment that I keep in a separate bag. Bring the basics travel light is my motto. Working with the minimal makes you less dependent on having tonns of equipment with you.Feedback
Always be ready to find that unexpected shot. As I said travel light with the least amount of equipment to weigh you down. the less you fumbel with your camera bag the better the chances of catching that money shot that you will always be proud of.
