I wonder if anyone can help me work out what to take on our trip in just under two weeks time. We will be walking a lot so I want to keep it minimal while still having the option to take both landscape and birds/red squirrel shots.
I have two main cameras, the Canon 5dm2 and the Canon 7dm2. I prefer the quality from the 5dm2 although wonder if I need both in order to get shots of the Peregrines at Malham Cove? The 5d is obviously better for the landscapes.
I have a monopod or a carbon fibre tripod. Not sure which would be best - perhaps the tripod as I would like to try some waterfall shots?
Lenses? I am thinking the 10-24mm (designed for crop cameras, but can be used from 15mm up on the ff), 24-105mm and my 100-400mm would cover the range. Not sure whether to add the 100mm macro, may take it but only use it around the cottage we are staying in to keep the weight down on our walks. Would it be wise to add the 70-200mm f2.8 to the bag to enable the wider aperature?
Being diabetic, I also need to take my blood sugar monitoring equipment, insulin and snacks, which all add to the weight.
We will be staying in Langcliffe near Settle, so if anyone has any ideas for quiet places to visit and take photos (away from the crowds) please feel free to make suggestions.
Thank you in advance for your help.
