A note on gear

when you spend a lot of time in the field, your field gear becomes more and more important. One thing I have noticed in my very short carrer, is that the level of mandatory equipment has soared. An important dogma for this website is, that I want to deflate those levels a bit by sticking to low-tech gear. Well - everything is relative isn't it?
At the moment I am using the camera in my Sony-Ericson C901 mobile phone. Today I really regretted that choise, because I spend a lot of time just missing the great shot. Hence - no picture for today. A I am using low-tech gear for this site, I was wondering whether any of you out there has any experience in keeping field gear on a low level? Sphere: Related Content
