Here I have to work out my pictures. For these photo shoots, I usually stay one night on location. This way I reserve the time with the most beautiful light for photography: late afternoon, blue hour, and early morning.]]> https://apalmanac.com/gear/how-do-i-carry-all-my-photo-climbing-and-camping-gear-for-multi-day-photo-excursions-shooting-alpine-architecture-the-lowepro-photosport-backpack-pro-70l-aw-iii-179392/feed 0 179392 https://apalmanac.com/gear/searching-for-a-tough-and-well-thought-out-mobile-workstation-look-no-further-than-the-inovativ-digisystem-pro-ultra-kit-179353 https://apalmanac.com/gear/searching-for-a-tough-and-well-thought-out-mobile-workstation-look-no-further-than-the-inovativ-digisystem-pro-ultra-kit-179353#respond Mon, 26 Dec 2022 13:00:00 +0000 https://apalmanac.com/?p=179353 For my latest shoot in my ongoing photo series Modern Alpine Architecture, I had the chance to test out a new piece of equipment.

In this review I am going to show you why I love a cage for my hybrid work between architectural photography and videography. From day one I put my Canon R5 into a camera cage and only let it out of there for trips with the family, where I want to carry minimal equipment.]]> https://apalmanac.com/gear/3-reasons-photographers-need-a-camera-cage-178214/feed 6 178214
