I attempt to pack light, a camera, and other items that will enable me to shoot excellent vacation shots. There's no way I could do it any other way. By the way, I discovered information on http://www.wetravel.com/trips/travel-on-a-budget-smart-ways-to-save-on-your-next-trip-dec-more-indian-rocks-beach-fl-usa-01441576 on how to travel light and go on a variety of photo shoots without breaking the bank. Everyone will benefit from it, in my opinion.
