This Saturday, I went for a hiking trip to 宜蘭. I bring my camera along with me, but I didn't have proper camera bag for hiking. So I just trough it inside my backpack with some foam pad cover.

I said to myself, this should be more than enough. But it's far from enough. Just went our group got off the train, it starts to rain. with no proper rain cover I couldn't risk my camera got water damage, so I barely take out my camera. Even when I find some cover for rain, it's hard to take a camera out from the bottom of a full backpack.

    When you shooting outdoor, you would never think you will need flash light. That is where you are wrong, within the forest. I don't have proper lighting most of the time, I been force to crank up my ISO in order to get a safe shutter speed.

so this is what you need in order to fully use your dear DSLR to the hiking trip.

1.separate camera bag that can be strap on your waist.
2.rain cover for your camera bag
3.umbrella or camera raincoat to taking photo during the rain.
 

    It's been 2 year since my last post, I am not surprised. It's not like I use this website as much as I use my computer. And I took a little break during my time try to pursuit a career in eSport.  (which fail terribly BTW )

    One of the reason I revisit this website is try to update my portfolio, I took a wedding gig two weeks back, it's a horrible experience for me. I was not really being respected nor pay well. However it did reignited my passion in photography. I switch my lens to Canon 24-105mm, the one I always wanted. It offer useable wide angle with enough teleport focal length in Canon APS-C format. And this is a good lens to carry around with. I also brought a steady, well build tripod from manforrto. I realize I should do that a long times ago, not only it's cheaper to buy in US, I also can ease the suffer I had when I use my old crappy tripod.
    Oh~ and yes, I moved back to Taiwan on the summer of 2011. I can only hope it's for the better, because everything up to this point is just like black hole, "it sucks".
