Travel
Joined up with the rest of our travelling gang, we took on Seattle part two.
This is the market in Seattle. We didn't buy anything but moved on to find photo spots.
You may be asking yourself why there is gum all over the wall....I don't know...
Great view at the end of the day over dinner.
Deciding what gear to bring on a day trip is always tough. Deciding what to bring on a 22 day trip is even tougher. Here is what I settled on. It's definitely not everything I own but I'd rather bring something and not use it than miss something I didn't bring.
I've broken down the list of gear (minus a few bits and pieces) below.
1 . Western Digital 2TB My passport
2. Batteries and charger
3. Lexar USB 3.0 Card reader
4. CF/SD card holder.
5. Bubble leveller
6. Gopro Hero3
7. 13" Macbook Pro Retina
8. LED video light
9. Filter sleeve (ND,Polarizer)
10. Sigma 35mm f/1.4 ART
11. Canon TS-E 45mm f/2.8
12. Canon 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye
13. Canon 17-40mm f/4.0
14. Sigma 85mm f/1.4
15. Canon 5D Mark III Body (for him)
16. Canon 5D Mark III Body (for her)
18. Awesome camera straps
We also picked up a Lowepro Photo Hatchback 22L AW for holding some gear on day trips and hiking, as well as some of the less camera-oriented supplies (ie. snacks for a hangry wife).
In case you didn't know, we are on an adventure down the West coast of the US. Here starts the first post of many from our trip. So far we've visited a great coffee shop, a zoo and a must-go-to burger joint.
Top Pot Doughnuts - The doughnuts are amazing and so is the coffee.
Family drove down from Vancouver to join us in Seattle. Nate wanted to go to the zoo so we went to the zoo. Not a bad way to spend a beautiful afternoon.
Dick's Drive-In is a classic Seattle stop as well. Cheap food with tons of grease and flavour.
We'll be in the States for the better part of October and will be heading all the way to L.A., so definitely be sure to follow our adventures (we'll try to be good at blogging!) as this was only our first day.
