Travel and Packing Tips for Outdoor Photographers
Episode 14: In today’s Tidbit Tuesday, I share some tips and reminders on packing and traveling with your camera gear.

These tips will help you weigh the pros and cons of certain equipment and assess what trade-offs you’re willing to take given the nature of the trip.
