"Even though the roads are rough, and a little hair-raising at times, the drivers are obviously well experienced professionals, safe, courteous and capable. "
—TripAdvisor Reviews of Rainbow Photo Tours
It was great to be able to get just enough clues from
Robin on what to shoot and where to stop. Having no group
bus was a gift, as each car could make their own impromptu
photo ops.. or not. Lodges were clearly the best available
and guide and driver support was fantastic--we were their
flock for each day and were well taken care of. I have taken
tours to many countries and Robin's immersion of us into
the culture was superb...the best !
Not much of a bag really, as I like to keep it simple.
Canon 5D Mark II
Canon 28-300mm f3.5-5.6 L IS USM Lens (used 95% of the
time)
Canon 16-35mm f 2.8 L USM Lens
77mm UV filter in front of each lens.
Manfrotto Monopod 695cx with a Manfrotto 3265 pistol grip
Manfrotto Tripod 055MF4 with a Manfrotto 322RC2 multi
grip
(Robin was right, no need and not much great use for monopod.
Tripod could do both. Will never pack both again.)
Extra battery
Canon G9 as backup, not used once, with extra battery.
SANdisk Ultra IV cards 16 Gb x 2
