Photography and Urban Exploration Equipment
Photography and Urban Exploration are about having fun, learning about the world around you and taking pictures. But you need to be prepared on a number of fronts, not least well being and staying safe. Dressing appropriately, carrying medical bits and ensuring communication with the outside world with a charged up (power and credit!!!) mobile phone are paramount. So, here's what's in the kit bag at this time:
Fujifilm Finepix S2950HD Bridge Camera
Sony DCR-TRV140E Digital 8 Video Camera
Duracell Daylight 160 Lumens LED Torch
Energiser 5 LED Head Light
Olympus Digital Voice Recorder
Military Compass
Mobile Phone
Disposable Face Masks
Disposable Latex Gloves
Anti-bacterial Gel
Anti-septic wipes
First-Aid Kit
Batteries (for torches, cameras, voice recorder)
Spare SD Cards (for camera)
Tripods (for still and video cameras)
Food and Drink
Clothing-wise, it isn't a fashion parade, so it's best to keep to hard-wearing clothes. For the Summer months, keep to jeans, long-sleeved shirts or sweat-shirts, a good pair of walking boots and some form of head gear such as a baseball cap. For the Winter months, a good warm jacket, thermal gloves, thermal socks and maybe an extra layer under the sweat shirt or fleece such as a T-shirt.
Keep yourself fed and watered throughout, so packing sandwiches, energy bars (Mars Bars and Snickers are a favourite) and energy drinks can help. In the Winter, break out the Thermos flask - Thermos flasks are cool - there's nothing better than a hot drink on a cold unfeeling morning trudging through the countryside or exploring an abandoned building.
As soon as extra bits and pieces are purchased, they'll be added here.
