One of the things I teach all my students is to always have a camera with them! \u00a0So this morning, in all my infinite wisdom, I headed out to deliver the laundry and passed one of my favorite fields to find spectacular light, a heavy dew lying in the grass, and thousands of spider webs….and \u00a0no camera!!! \u00a0Shame on me!!! Well fortunately my favorite field is only a mile or two from the house so I raced back got a D7000 and my 200mm Micro Nikkor and tripod, and cable release and headed back to do some wet knee photography!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What would I have done if I was ten miles from home?, missed the shot! \u00a0So here is a suggestion, keep a small utility bag loaded and ready to go with you every early morning and late evening you go out to run errands. \u00a0I could say always carry it, and I probably should, but to be honest I rarely shoot except early morning and late evening, however sometimes good things happen mid-day, so lets amend that to maybe just keep it in the car every time you go. \u00a0You can leave your tripod in the trunk always. \u00a0The best thing about outdoor photography is that the conditions, light, and subjects are always changing and it is very hard to predict what will happen when, so just be prepared!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What should be in the small ” I’m ready anytime” bag? \u00a0I would say a general purpose zoom like a 24-120 (36-180 on DX) \u00a0a wide angle Zoom, for DX I like the 12-24, and a telephoto zoom (70-300), some way to do closeups, automatic extension tubes, diopters or a Micro lens. \u00a0The automatic extension tubes with the 70-300 can do remarkable stuff as well. \u00a0Of course a tripod and cable release. \u00a0I love the little wireless release for the D7000 and the DX body is my favorite for closeups! \u00a0So there you have it, be prepared, get out early and late, have fun and get some great shots, and \u00a0by-the-way, isn’t God one incredible jeweler??!!<\/p>\n
