Ayayaye, there’s a lot of things in there, and I’m very sorry about that. Please refer to my “minimal kit” for a easier to digest post ;)
Long story short, we’ve been shooting mostly around home the whole summer. That is around 12 different trips to chase Northern lights, crazy clouds, or steam fog moments. But by having the luxury of driving instead of taking the plane to fly in exotic places, we managed to carry a lot of stuff, and enjoy time near home… with the mosquitoes 😁
