Always check your list to see if you got everything with you going and coming back.
I should have checked my previous blog, to many typos.
Here is a question , can anyone tell me what can happen to my lenses and camera when taking it out of a heated home into the freezing outdoors or the other way around besides having a blurred picture.
Thank you
Ron

Short answer, you may get condensation. Put equipment in plastic bag to let acclimatize. J. R.
a decent bottle of scotch
Geez, Hoggers, parts of this thread are reading like a Y2K survival manual. :shock: Don't forget the three days of dehydrated meals and a water filter. :)

Now I have another question. If I take the scotch, do I leave the gun or the knife at home?

Drink the scotch before you leave and take both. :mrgreen:

Extra XD mag of Gold Dots, which, like the emergency roll, I hope to never need.
Gives "shooting heads" a whole new meaning.
This thread is more like an under $50 equipment list
for gangsters and hit men than photographers.
Who'da thunk we are such a murderous lot.
:shock:

One of my faves is a home made gizmo to help keep a steady hand for when you don't have a tripod or monopod.
All you need is a piece of thin board, a length of sturdy twine and a tripod mounting screw for the bottom of the camera. You can buy them,the screws, pretty cheap on Ebay. I think I bought a package of 5 for around $3.00 and they paid the shipping.
You drill a small hole in the end of the board to tie one end of the string. I used an old incense board cut in half. I didn't have to drill a hole. How lazy is that. Tie the other end of the string to the mounting screw. Measure the length of string to match the distance from the ground to your eye level for shooting. Put the board under your foot and pull the string tight.
It definitely is not a tripod or monopod, but you will be surprised how much steadiness it will give you. You can roll the string around the board to shorten it for shooting from a kneeling position and it rolls up to a tidy little package that can store in a pocket on your camera bag or backpack.
I have attached some pics to show how it works. I hope the string shows up in the full length pic of the photog.

If you're making a long link, you can use the "url" tag on the left.
long link hereIf you do a "quote reply", you'll see what is typed in here. The big problem with the long link is that it changes the width of the whole page, so now we have to scroll left and right to read each line, and not just on your post.
