Shutter Mike Photography

I wrote a review of my Lowepro Fastpack 250 camera backpack not too long ago.  I figured I would follow up that post with one about what I fill all that space with.  Depending where I am heading and what I intend to shot the contains can change.  And occasionally this bag is too much for what I am doing and I will switch to a smaller bag that only fits my DSLR with a lens and a spare battery.  But in general, here is what you might find at any given time in my camera backpack.

The Obvious

• Sony Alpha 100 DSLR
• Lenses – 100-300 mm 4.5 – 6.7, 18-70 mm 3.5-5.6, 28 mm 2.8, 28-90 mm 3.5-5.6

The Accessories

• Filters – circular polarizing, standard polarizing, 81B and 1A all purpose
• Lens hood
• Compact flash cards – 4 total – 1 512mb, 1 2GB, and 2 4GB
• Remote shutter release
• Extra tripod shoe
• Fully charged spare battery
• Battery charger

Nice to Have

• notepad and pens
• The manual to my camera
• small flash light (comes in handy when trying to set up the tripod and camera at night)
• A small point and shoot camera (with spare batteries)
• Lens cleaning solution, cloth and and tissue
