How's it going?
I've been lurking for about six months now, and suppose now is as good a time as any to get more involved.
A little about me... I bought a K-X about 1.5 years ago, and I took it with me to Morocco, took some pretty good shots of the Sahara and Marrakesh with my kit lenses and have been in soaking up as much about photography, light etc. as I possibly could since then.
So obviously, I should quit my day job and go pro, right? Just kidding. Actually, looking back at my travel shots now, with a little bit more knowledge, I know I missed a lot of opportunities.
Anyway, I'm headed to Tanzania in a few months with a volunteering organization, and will be staying in
Tarangire and
Ngorongoro for a little while as well. The whole trip will be about a month. I'm on a budget and I'm hoping to rent a bit of gear. So does anyone have suggestions for what gear I'd be beating myself up for not having with me when shooting game/Landscapes? Any tips for a new forumite getting ready to travel? There might be better places to get those questions answered than the welcome thread, but I figured I'd start out here.
Nice to meet you all,
