The small, rocky islet is characterized by pink granite formations, patches of bright orange lichen, and vibrant green trees. Nestled within the foliage is a white swan, adding a touch of wildlife to the serene landscape. The clear blue water of the St. Lawrence River surrounds the island, revealing the stony riverbed below.

The kit I carry changes every time I go out to photograph. Sometimes I just walk out the door with a body and single lens. Sometimes I carry a full array of lenses and other gear. On this day, shooting at a new location, I wanted to be prepared, so I brought a full focal-range compliment as well as a tripod and filters (I was expecting some water, but found only ice). I ended up not using the tripod or filters.
I initially bought his backpack to carry my Tamron 150-600mm lens. It is big enough to hold either a DSLR or MILC kit, without being burdonsome. The pack itself is lightweight and feature-rich. I can open it while it is still attached to my waist, or put it on the ground without getting the straps, etc., dirty or wet. I can carry it for many hours with zero discomfort.
Several critical items that I had with me this day are not pictured. First, studded “Icers” that strap to my boots and provide traction on the icy trails. Second, good clothing layers, including a light wool hat and fleece gloves that can be worn while operating the camera (this day I was moving constantly between cold forest and bight sun). Third, neutral colored clothing. This day my outerwear included a grey Patagonia fleece or black Patagonia Nano-Air hoody up top, and Fjallraven Vidda Pro trousers in dark grey. My hat and gloves are also grey.
Why neutral colored clothing? I’ve learned from experience that, on sunny winter days, brightly coloured clothing will be reflected into the photographic scene, especially when shooting close-ups and macros. I’ve had many good shots cause problems in-post production when I had to try to remove a bright orange or green cast caused by brightly coloured jackets. Even in the studio or when shooting portraits, be aware that your clothing as a photographer can have an adverse effect in some scenes or lighting scenarios.
