Hi everyone,

It has been a long time since I last posted or submitted any photography, but I don't really get the chance to do much these days, far too busy.

Anyway I am looking to spend a few days and nights away from the rat race and want to do photography in a very big way on those days I have off.

I am thinking of doing it with my digital camera.

Currently have the following lenses: 35-105mm, 18-70mm (digital only), 70-210mm, 75-300, 50mm. Only the one Minolta 5D digital body and 2 film bodies. Two after market Centon Flash guns (FH-95 and FH-65), 2 5D batteries (and two more which are really worn out).

Should I bring a film camera as well? Would I be advised to buy more batteries? I am going to be a tripod for sure, too many wrecked photos in low light. I can't think of much else, just hope my photography makes a nice big leap if that is all I am doing for those few days because I am not happy with it really.

Cheers!
 
For the time being I'd concentrate on taking pictures using the digital equpiment you have perhaps with the addition of a few spare batteries.

Ideally, get your mind as far away as possble from the equipment and focus on getting the basics right

Hey Sleepyd,

I have just ordered two spare batteries and two 2gb memory cards.

Going to look at tripods Thursday to see what they have and then make a purchase I think :)
