i like to travel light as i can,with as little fuss as possible.
this is a lowepro flipside 300,first i remove all badges and un-needed straps.
so i can slide though crowds without snagging or getting caught.
its totaly secure with the flipside bit and i can lay it down without getting the straps dirty/wet.
i make sure non of my lens fronts can touch the ground via my bags bottom.
in the elastic side i have my glasses,if its warm i move them and add a oval water bottle [doesent stick out so far].
in the zipped side pocket i have a notebook,sharpie pen,small legal penknife and one 4gb spare flash card in case one of mine degrades.
not to much stuff so its flat.
at the front i removed the sternam strap,i have a small powerfull led lenser torch,1 snap lock thats rated to hold my camera by the wrist strap [if i need both hands free].my one concession is to have the lucky charm.
i allways have a
50mm F1.4 [hood on]
85mm F1.4 [hood seperate]
a camera mic.
sometimes i will carry a 35mm f2 [hood on] in front of the camera [in this photo you cant see it] or another lens of my choice i think i may need.
camera is a D3s or a D700 [never both] allways with the 50mm attached and ready.
the zipped pouch behind the camera is ace.
here i have lens cloth [massive]
earplugs
a good photo pass holder [in case the supplied one is rubbish]
phone,car keys,buisness cards and there is still room for extras.
in my car i allways have a spare battery for both cameras,i make sure i have more than enough power for each task.i dont carry the batterys they add more weight i dont need.
i am going to shoot Supergrass tommorow morning so i will swap the 35mm for a 24mm F2.8.
in my car boot i think i will carry the D700 with 70-200 F2.8 as i know the area and maybe will able to step back from the pack.
