PHOTO FLUNKY:  Episode 20

 

Welcome to the Photo Flunky Show, Episode number twenty.

 

The topic for this show:  How To Travel With Your Photography Gear.

 

Hi, welcome to the Photo Flunky Show, available at photoflunky.com.  I’m your host, William Beem.

 

Lee:         Hi, I’m Lee.

 

William:   And episode twenty we’re up to right now. You can find show notes at williambeem.com/episode20 or of course they will be on the player at photoflunky.com.

 

Alright.  So today we’re talking about how to travel with your photography gear.  Both of us have had to take a number of trips and mostly for different purposes, but the same problem comes up.  You’ve got a bunch of gear, you want to travel with it safely.  That’s not just how you’re going to travel from the airport, but also what you’re going to do in the hotel and what you’re going to do when you’re walking around in the place where you’ve arrived for your shoot.

 

So, let’s start off with airline travel.  And before you even get to the airport, how do you pack your gear?  Are you looking for something like a rolling bag, are you looking for a backpack?  Lee, let’s start off.  You’ve done a number of vacations coming from Europe over here.  What would you prefer?

 

Lee:         Well, first of all I have a look at what’s going to suit me when I’m walking around and I prefer a camera backpack.  I’ve got a nice, fairly compact one that pretty much swallows everything that I’ll need in a given day on an average day.
