I have two size backpacks and either bring a big or small kit. I am not allowed to have a camera in work, and am unwilling to leave it in the car, so my frustrations are during the commute. I have seen MANY nice raptor shots on the side of the highway on the way back and fourth.



This is exactly what I am trying to avoid. I feel that my lightest pack ways 10-15 pounds. I want something I can just pull out of my pocket and with a little effort, make a nice composition.

Speaking of ISO, another frustration of mine is my bad memory. I don’t know how many times I have thought I got the best shot only to find out I was at ISO 800 or something.



I hear you about checking your settings. It is one area that I have gotten much better at. Recently though I find that I am taking more and more at ISO 800 and 1600.
