Luminous Landscape Looks Back at Bangladesh

Mark Goldstein | Technique | January 28, 2005 | 1 Comments

In an earlier article, Luminous Landscape’s Michael Reichmann shared the contents of his camera bag with us as he prepared for a 2 week trip to Bangladesh. Now he looks back at what worked and what didn’t:

“I shot about 5,000 frames over 13 days. Because the 1Ds MKII produces roughly 15 MB raw files, this means that I ended up with around 75 GB of files by the end of the trip. And, since I always back everything up in the field, this means that I needed to have some 150 GB of storage with me. (The idea of having just one copy of once-in-a-lifetime shots is too scary. I always make field backups. After the card has been downloaded to a hard drive, I then make sure that it’s copied to a second hard drive before I go to bed at night, and that this second drive is stored and transported separately the whole time).”

I always make sure to travel with different USB Photobanks, which are combination external hardware with memory card readers. I'm also a big fan of backups.
