No, but wheels already exist. Yeah, but somehow I don't see me rolling that thing around in the woods ! If you don't want the weight then you just have to take along less equipment. I use a Tamrac backpack (it also can be carried as a shoulder bag) that can haul all my most used

I think you mean Supermarine Spitfire, Godfrey! Supercharged 27L V12 Rolls Royce Merlin/Griffon engines. When they changed the exhausts to point backwards like that, the max velocity increased by 30mph. A magnificent example. Alan C -Original Message- From: Godfrey DiGiorgi Sent:

Horses for courses. When I do field photography I really need a backpack type camera bag so I can walk unencumbered with hands free to carry a tripod and navigate on crude paths, if any. When I was doing forensic photography, and the traveling that entailed, I used a hard sided Halliburton

Very nice composition, rendering, and title, Godfrey. I like the interplay of the diagonal lines and row of circular exhausts; and I can imagine each cylinder pining for the chance to pull the plane into the air. A P-51? Rick On Jan 8, 2016, at 2:07 AM, Godfrey DiGiorgi wrote: > More Palm

Thanks Rick! It's a Spitfire Super Aquamarine. Hard to see from this angle as I was concentrating on the Merlin exhaust stack with the ultra-ultra-wide lens, but it's the same plane as in this photo: https://flic.kr/p/CiiST9 There you can see the tell-tale shape of the Spitfire fuselage

I use the "mothership" strategy - take with my anything that I could need and when I get to my destination deploy the gear that I want to use. I keep an empty medium shoulder bag in the car that can at most accommodate one larger and a couple of small ones, and it is what I take in the field.
