Thailand on Film, with the Rolleiflex 3.5F
I know a trip is going to be great when I head over to The Camera Store and buy a big bag of black and white film. For me, that’s how a really good trip starts. I was headed to Thailand, a country high on my list for years, to explore its temples, its various landscapes, and of course to meet, what I was to find out, some of the friendliest people anywhere. Thailand is a varied landscape with more than 35,000 Buddhist temples. I wanted to photograph some of them, along with the people I met on my travels.
What’s In My Bag: 2 Sony Alpha Cameras & 3 G Master Lenses For Stylistic Street Photography
Luke Pyrzynski (@eastbanger) is a photographer of many talents. In addition to his stylish street photography, he's also an active automotive, travel and wedding photographer. “My backpack is definitely not lightweight and that's because I think you never know if something extra will come in handy,” he says. “More than once I regretted not taking some lenses with me so now I carry most of them and I’m prepared for any occasion. The setup I'm showing here serves me exclusively for the street. For any other purpose, my backpack would probably look a little different.” We connected with Luke to get the details on the gear in his kit for stylistic street photography. Keep reading as he explains what’s in his bag.

What’s In My Bag: A Pair Of Cameras & Two Long Lenses For Next-Level Bird & Wildlife Photography
Miry Fidalgo (@miryf) is a professional nature and travel photographer and a contributor to National Geographic Spain (@natgeoesp). She's a photography gear minimalist who recently switched her kit from Canon to Sony Alpha cameras and Sony lenses. Fidalgo's work has taken her to Yellowstone in the freezing winter, to the jungles of Borneo, to the cliffs of Ireland, the plains of Kenya, and throughout her home country of Spain. She says, “I am a newcomer to the Sony Alpha family but I'm very satisfied. I like to be quite minimalist in the choice of equipment and to have gear that is of the highest quality. Less in more, just like in photography, where I prefer simple photos that have a lot of quality and power. Traveling fills my soul and all the more so if I am able to photograph wild animals in my photographs and contribute to their visibility. I need equipment that does not fail and does not put limitations on me.”
