The most important photo equipment
This is it.
Can you reach the wild without these equipments?

Mohsen, I thought it was a cup of coffee. :wink:

But you are right to a point. Even with extreme & very routine maintenance one can never predict what lurks under those hoods when we are out there. :biggrin:

4WD's are OK, but only if it's too far to walk, hike, mountain bike, XC ski, snowshoe, kayak, or canoe to where you want to shoot, right?

(I realize some or all of those options may not work in Saudi Arabia).

I thought it would be a picture of my favorite piece of photo equipment - a Colemen camp stool.

I thought it would be a picture of what's between our ears. :smile:

Mohsen, good to hear about the engine. Keep an alert ear for slow cranking, I've been bit by the dead battery bug a couple times out there now. :frown:

Most important photo equipment is our inner vision. :wink:

Don't tell Marc, I think he would disagree :biggrin:

When you're well past your 20s like me, that 4WD sounds better and better. But there is one more ultra important piece of equipment I'd not want to be without, regardless of DSLR or point n shoot or film or medium format or pinhole box: my very solid tripod. A good image can be gotten wherever your creative eye looks, but think about what it would be like if you were never allowed to use any support device again, always having to handhold. Ugh.

That may change when they get ISO 200,000 to be as noise-free as ISO 100. :wink:
