The better your travel experience, the better your travel pictures will be.”
Photographer Rob Knight provides practical tips on how to pare down your gear assortment so you’ll carry a lighter load and, along the way, makes a good argument for shooting with Panasonic Lumix cameras and Micro Four Thirds format lenses. Some of the tips that Knight relays seem pretty obvious, like eliminating gear you don’t use, but it takes experience and a degree of confidence to know when you will not use a particular lens and to be “okay” with passing on a shot when you don’t have that lens. He also emphasizes the advantages that can be gained by working with only one lens for an extended period. He demonstrates how to use the library filter tools in Lightroom to analyze which focal lengths you use most often, and offers his suggestions on what gear and apps to use (Lightroom mobile, Snapseed, wireless hard drive, iPad Pro) when traveling light is paramount. Knight also recounts the various camera systems he has used during his career and tells how he arrived at his current setup, based around Lumix mirrorless and even point-and-shoot cameras.
