One of the things that photography enthusiasts have in mind is what to bring for their photography trip. We tend to think that we need certain lenses or equipment and keep adding on to the list such that we often end up bringing almost everything and putting ourselves in misery under the weight of all our equipment.
At times, we may even end up not using some that we bring along! If we leave out certain equipment, we think that there is a possibility that it maybe needed somewhere during the trip.

Hi Fablic,
Thanks for your compliment. Yes, I agree that focusing on the image is much more important, since the equipment is just a tool to help the photographer achieve his/her aim, and that is to capture the best images :)

Congratulations on your portfolio ... it is very nice, I agree with what I said during my trip would only provide a perspective, my 24 70 very practical and that allows me to concentrate only on the image! Helloooo!

You're right. Bringing only one lens will force me to try to get the most from that lens. Even so when that lens is a prime. Sometimes I get frustrated though :p
But same as you, I bring quite a lot of stuff, especially when that trip is a once in a lifetime trip. For normal hikes or walkabout, I normally bring a 16-85 mid range zoom, and a prime.

When I travel for work, I like to keep it very minimal - currently I carry a Panasonic GF1, 20mm pancake prime lens, and a short telephoto or telephoto zoom.
Medium length hikes are the one time I bring a lot of stuff in a backpack. Otherwise I usually try to pick the best lens for the situation and just bring the camera with that, plus a flash if it is indoors.
I very rarely find that I wish I had brought something else to get a perfect shot - expect maybe a macro lens - but what I do find is that forcing myself to take one lens means I spend the day trying to get the most from that one lens.

>My passion lies in landscape and nature photography, and I focus mainly on the Asiatic region. However, the main theme in my Dreamstime portfolio centres around Asian food and exotic gourmet.
My photography goal is to capture timeless landscape images that will bring inspiration to myself and people around me. Photography is an endless learning journey and I hope every click of the shutter brings me to a higher level.
