Yes, Right There
Some of you may recall my previous thread about gear choices and my upcoming posting... Well, my two week trek across NA is coming up fast- I start on 17 Sept!
I've driven across on the Trans-Canada, and through the northern states. This time, I plan on heading down (from Vancouver) to Denver, then driving across and back up the east coast- ultimate destination is Halifax, Nova Scotia. Should be pretty crazy 😀
Just thought I would write out what I have planned. If anyone has any suggestions, please do voice them... I've never gone solo before and the last couple times across I wasn't into photography. I'm heading into uncharted territory! 😛
I will have with me:
Walkabout bag:
Bessa R3A with 15 Heliar
M3 with 50 Summitar
Ricoh GRD II with 21/28 adapter
In the trunk:
Bronica ETRS with 75/2.8
For film choices, I have a bunch of Efke 100, Neopan 400 and some just-arrived Plus-x. My MF film is Arista Edu 100... Foma?
I was planning to use the digi Ricoh for my daily 'web update' camera, but now I'm wondering if maybe some BW400CN might be nice? Walmarts (and their scanners!) are everywhere... Hmm...
If I can find some in town, I might pick up a roll or three of Ektar 100. Not much of a colour guy, though... Worth it for the landscapes?
