Getting ready to travel or go on vacation and don't know what camera equipment to bring?

      Are you getting ready to travel and don't know what to bring and how?  I'll walk you through what I bring.  I'm on the go a lot.  Usually going to where ever my husband is working at the time.  I pack the kids up after school on Fridays (or which ever day is getting out for the weekend that week) and head to visit daddy.  We all know I can't go anywhere with out my camera.  I have this awesome little backpack the fits my body, two lenses, extra CF and SD cards, my shot log so I can keep track of my camera settings, filters, batteries, chargers and a remote shutter.  It may seem like a lot but this little backpack holds it all.  I bring my EF 24-105mm 1.4 L lens and a EF 75-300mm 1.4 lens so I am covered for anything I may need to shoot.  The 24-105mm lens is good for shoots in the truck or even the airplane if you are flying.  If you are going to be close to your subject I would have this lens on the camera.  It's good for rainy days and you are stuck in the hotel, camper, cabin ect.  If you are going to be outdoors I would put on your longer lens.  They are great for zoos, hiking, the beach, walking around discovering a new town, ect.  The camera body I choose to take with me all depends on what I'm doing.  If it might get dirty I will take my Canon Rebel.  We have 4 wheelers and when we take them out there is a lot of dust and mud so Baby (yes I name my cameras haha) gets to come out and play.  When I am going to the zoo or hiking Big Mama gets to come, she is my 5D Mark ii.   She is a little heavier (ok a lot) then the Rebel so that is also something you need to consider when you choose the body you are bring along. Above all don't forget to put the camera down every once in awhile and just be in the moment while you are traveling, your kids and partner will appreciate it.
