Yellowstone advice

Interesting post as yours always are,.....

We're leaving tomorrow for a trip through Teton and Yellowstone. I had planned to take a Sony a77, a Canon SL1, both with 18-250mm Sigmas, and my two Pany G models. All these cameras will fit in a large gear bag and I always work from the car, so space is not a problem. However, I have learned on past trips that using more than two cameras is not much fun for me.

So, the "traveling team" will be a Pany G5 w/100-300mm and a Pany G6 w/14-140mm. I know that I enjoy using stabilized lenses when shooting at long focal lengths. The two cameras left behind are excellent cameras but, like you, I just enjoy using the Panys more. I'm also pleased that output from my G5 and G6 are as identical as they can possibly be,...at least to my eye.

I'm sort of hoping this trip will firmly entrench me in the m43 system and I can move the other two cameras out,......but I'm not betting the house on that!

Do the Ben Franklin thing, Early to bed and early to rise.  It is surprising how quiet Yellowstone is early in the morning.  It is mayhem after 9 am and long into the night.

Have a great time and good light to you!!
