This coming Thursday, September 9, I will be flying out of Tyler and heading towards Berlin, Germany. I will arrive on Friday afternoon, September 10, at 3:45 pm local time.
I have been planning this trip for over 9 months, and have dreamed about doing a trip like this for a long, long time. I only wish I could go for 3 months and not 2.5 weeks.
So what did I splurge on for this trip? Since I may never go back to these same exact places for quite some time, I decided a nice DSLR camera will have to be bought. So I picked up one, then some lenses, then some cases, and before I knew it, I had blown quite the wad of cash...
What I'm taking:
HP Mini 1000 netbook
Canon Rebel T2i/550D
50mm f/1.8 II
EF-S 18-55mm IS f/3.5-5.6 (kit lens)
EF-S 55-250 mm IS f/4-5.6
igotU - GT120 GPS logger
Case Logic DSLR sling
Small tripod
camera cleaning accessories
All of that equipment will actually fit on my DSLR sling. Of course this presents a problem - how am I going to carry my huge technical/hiking pack and my DSLR sling? Guess I'll just have to be really top heavy.
The igotU GPS logger is for me to plot out my travels when I'm on the train, as well as geotagging photos (you have to manually sync the clocks of the camera and GPS logger to do this, then use software that comes with the device to map it out).
I will be trying to post some pictures as often as I can, but I'll probably be busy resting up for the next excursion or something, or staring out the window of the train snapping photos.
I really do wish I had an extra battery... perhaps I'll get one over there if I need to.
