Mr Rudesing & I have been discussing what to take on hols with us... for the last half hour
.We're coming around to Arkady's POV. We just have to remember we're also taking two small children, and would prefer to bring them both back alive rather than losing one during a lens swap

Whatever you leave behind, you will wish you had with you at some point during your trip! I take most of my stuff (a body, 3 or 4 lenses, speedlight). I've taken a tripod on holiday twice and not used it, so that's the only thing I tend to think about now.

everything! i wouldnt leave anything behind. you never know what you may come across. you might end up regretting leaving something behind.
I have just come back from a trip to the US. I took a 35mm 1.8, 60mm micro and a 16/85 vr lens. The 16/85 was on the camera when I left and thats all I used.
Looking at your camera bag I would take the 18/55 and the 70/300 for reach.
I don't have a 300 lens but one of the friends we stayed with had a creek running through a cedar forest on his land. His long horn cattle and horses would drink out of this as kingfishers and humming birds were flitting all around. You could off sat there for hours just watching what was going on.
I must get a 300mm lens for next time.

Absolutely - cover the furniture in plastic, leave food in a bowl and some drinking water - they'll be fine.

haha, you guys make me smile, Im lost if I haven't got a camera with me when im 'out for the day', so it looks like it's the lot then, I'm not too great in the heat at the best of times, it's my fair skin you see, so lugging around my gear for two weeks seems the best option to come back with some worthy memories.
Cheers.

I generally take everything with me, BUT don;t forget it's a holiday! If it's hot out do you want to be lugging all the gear around? You happy to leave it on the beach if you go swimming?
I say take it all, but don't take it out all the time - enjoying photography is great, enjoying life is better!

tell me are you going to both Gozo and Malta I had one week in Malta and a second week in Goza, Goza is a much more laid back quite please. if you have the helicopter flight back to the airport is so much better as you have already checked in and just board the plane...

This was mentioned in another thread asking the same question - I think that the answer was "who'll carry the equipment" if you didn't take the kid's

we're staying at a 'farmhouse villa' in Gozo, renting a car, and goin to cram as much of the Islands as we can, Hols are for fun and relaxing, but we still need to capture the times we had
