This time of year a lot of people like to get into the outdoors. Lots of flowers blooming, birds nesting and other active wildlife. It's also a great time to take pictures. Some good images can be taken by hanging out the car window, or at least stepping out. But the really best shots involve taking a short or moderate hike down a trail. This isn't a problem if most of your camera gear will fit in a shirt pocket. But if you're like most of us interested in outdoor photography you quickly accumulate equipment.
One of the best ways to get you and the gear to that great shot of a waterfall, wildflower meadow or colorful beetle is a backpack. There are backpacks designed for carrying photo gear but a regular day pack will suffice. Most of them have a lot of side pockets for cables, memory cards, batteries, etc. with a nice main compartment for the camera and lenses. Hand towels and thick sweat socks offer very effective, and economical, padding. You can pick these up at garage and yard sales.
Pack a large trash bag and some gallon resealable plastic bags. These are perfect for protecting your gear from those sudden summer thunder storms. You might even have room to pack a pancho to keep yourself dry.
