Day 3: Equipment during the UK trip
Image by Takashi(aes256)
Nikon D4 is the most capable, advanced, heaviest and biggest camera I have. My guidebook suggests me to bring a light and small camera, but I ignored it and bring D4 to obtain terrific image quality. And I’m so happy to bring it because I went through a lot of low light situation during my trip and D4 is the one of BEST camera available in the market in low light situation.
NIKKOR 16-35mm f/4G ED VR to capture amazing buildings and landscapes in the UK. I purchased this lens for this trip and this lens was certainly a main lens during my trip.
NIKKOR 50mm f/1.4G for capturing low light situation as well as you’d like to have some bokeh.
NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8 ED VR II is needed in some situation, say taking pictures The Guard at Buckingham Palace.
Three Danbos to make my photo nice.
BLU TACK is a fantastic product to keep Danbos in specific pose. I actually forgot to bring mine to the trip, and tofu_catgirl gave her one to me. It really came in handy during the trip. I really appreciate her help.
A tripod to enjoy night photography including photos of the stars in the Lake District.
An extra battery in case D4 is running out of battery. D4 has a tremendous battery life though, it came in handy. I’ve experience so tired once that I fallen asleep without charging a battery.
Two ND filters, one is ND8 for panning during a day and longer exposure shot in evening. Another one is ND1000 for long exposure shot in a day light.
Battery chagers for batteries of Nikon D4 and DP1 Merrill.
Two hard disk drive, one to store my photos and another one to backup them so I won’t lose my photo.
An XQD card reader to copy photos from my XQD card to hard disk drives.
A CF card and a CF card reader for extra photo storage.
Also there are DP1 Merrill, Gorillapod and a laptop PC to use XQD card reader and hard disk drives.
I also wanted bring EF 400mm f/5.6L USM to enjoy bird photography in the Lake District, but I was overburden to carry the lens 
Conclusion:
I think I was trying a little bit too hard LOL

My plasma-power’d Apple laptop. Shameless plug: PowerBook 12” 1.5GHz is beautiful, durable and cheap little laptop, with full-size kbd and a real UNIX.
You can get your own from eBay.com for less than 0 with maxed-out specs and a new third-party battery.

Great selesction of gear. It is hard to know what to bring for a trip. You hate to bring too little and regret later but hate having to carry too much too. lol The Danbo’s seem to approve.
I like seeing photos like this. Interesting to see what other people take with them.
I always find it difficult to decide what to take on holiday, my macro lens is sadly always left behind as although its great it’s not always useful on holidays. Now that I have the Tokina Fisheye 10-17mm and the Canon 17-40L, which are similar I have to take both as they offer such different shots. And of course you can’t go wrong with a 50mm! I tend not to use my telephoto lens on holidays that much but of course I always take it with me!
Your welcome about the white-tack!
Nicely done. Like your list. Almost identical with mine.
That is some seriously big, but high performance, gear for a trip! Nice presentation!
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/saruworld] Thank you. yes, it was hard to decide which one for the trip, but I was happy with the equipment.
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/21576477@N04] Glad to hear that you found this photo interesting. I didn’t bring my macro lens because it is winter and I didn’t expect a flower. But a macro lens is a wonderful choice if it is spring or summer. Yes, and fisheye! I’m interesting purchasing one – it is a great lens for capturing sky with full of stars at night, and make things different from what you see and make your photo unique. It is hard and also fun to decide which lens to bring with me.
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/nightgallery] Thank you. It is interesting that mine are almost identical with yours.
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/55594432@N03] Thank you. These equipment are heavy, but they works great on photography.
I want a DP Merrill, actually!
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/ericflexyourhead] DP Merrill has a excellent resolution and image quality and you’ll love it if you use it to take landscape photography. But it has slower AF and much less battery life than ordinary camera. It is very unique and it is up to what you expect weather you’ll like or not.
