Posts, Landscape Photography  Why a 2nd body?  This movie
requires Flash Player 9  A very common and good question is
“what do you take in the field?” When I say a 2nd body on my
shoulder, I often get a funny look as if to ask why lug another
body in the field. We are an amazingly fortunate group, us
photographers. We are able to venture out and see things that
many can’t imagine exist. This is especially true for wildlife
photographers. And while we focus on the critter in the
viewfinder, I often, sometimes to the detremint of the critter
I’m chasing, miss that photo just enjoying the world around me.
That’s why I have the 2nd body on my shoulder. A dabble of light
strikes the landscape for only so long and then moves on. It’s
those moments that are special and the 2nd body is very much
apart of the gear that goes in the field with me.
