There is so much that goes into planning a photography trip. It doesn’t matter if you’re heading out for the afternoon in the field or taking off on a monthlong expedition to some exotic destination, when it comes to what we do, there are always decisions to make and chief among those is what equipment to bring and why. In this very first episode of the PhotoWILD Podcast, recorded in a hotel room in Panama City overlooking the Pacific Ocean, we discuss how we go about making the gear related decisions that we choose. Regardless of where you travel, deciding which gear to drag along always boils down to the conditions you will be working in and the subjects you will be working with. Identify these things, and you will find you have a very clear road map to use when making gear related decisions.
