Take 4 SLR's On Holiday

[CaptainPenguin]

Off to North wales for a week tomorrow so have sorted out the packing,of the camera bag,
EOS 30D
EOS 400D in case the 30D breaks
EOS10 Film use with the AF lenses
Minolta XD7 for static shots where the poor old eyes have time to focus manually
And 7 lenses

Oh and the wife's got her Canon IS 710 and daughter her Fuji 6500FD

So am I just about the saddest holiday tog on the planet

How many photos are you planning on taking!?

 

[CaptainPenguin]

A weeks holiday in Snowdonia usually averages about 300/400 shots on digital and a couple of rolls of film dependent on the weather.
Of course as its the Llanberis Railway 40th Anniversary Gala that could increase

Wow i've never taken more than one on holiday. In fact sometimes i just take a compact, can't always be mithered carting a big dslr and lens round for holiday snaps.

Might see you up there then, I'm hoping to get up there tomorrow to see Chaolner. I probably won't be bothered after a long morning shift though!

I used to do that, but now I have family, the locations are less glamourous and my priorities have changed when I'm away. Must admit, I didn't miss my dslr last time I was away - there was nothing a D700 could have done that my LX-3 compact couldn't do, and it was somewhat lighter and less conspicuous as well

 

[CaptainPenguin]

Family are long grown up and the gaffer is very understanding so its a photographic holiday

 

[viewfromthenorth]

Ah, makes it easier to justify taking a lot of gear then! If I told my wife I was taking D700, F100, 16-35, 28-70, 70-300, 85mm and 35mm, I'd be laughed out of town........

Father in law was a keen tog as well so she's had it all her life

Sounds great, hope you have it better than I did this week with the West Somerset Steam Railway ... got my position at Blue Anchor station, all excited as I heard the trains whistle ... then saw the smoke rising in the distance ... then the blooming thing came in backwards, pulling the carriages :bonk:

Tender first the curse of the Steam railway photographer
