I often have people asking me questions. Questions about life, questions about owning a business, questions about photography. Last night I got to thinking, there are probably more people that have those same questions, why not just put them on the blog. So, here I am starting a new little blog-series that I call it tidbits. Little nuggets of information that you might find helpful. The catch: you have to ask the questions! It can be anything photography related or not. It can be business questions or it can be life questions. Basically this is an open forum. Also, if you have suggestions, this is where I will post them for others to see. So email me, facebook me or leave a question in the comment section. How often will I post a tidbit? At least once a month depending on your response. If there are a ton of questions I will post more frequently. So there you go. Fire away. I am waiting...

Sonny: I wanted to ask your advice regarding a good lens to travel with.  I'll be taking a trip in March to Turkey, London, and Calgary.  I wanted to take good lenses with me, but I didn't want to deal with the hassle of carrying two lenses with me (wide and long) that I'd have to switch between while on the go.

Tidbit: If I was limited to only one lens, I would bring my 70-200 f/4. This is a beautiful lens and it is a lot lighter than it's overweight cousin the 70-200 f/2.8. I would use this lens on the Canon 5d mark II. Then, if I had the option I would bring a point an shoot that I can stick in my pocket for taking pictures in tighter quarters. The one reason I might bring a wider lens is if I plan on taking landscape type images. In this case I would bring my 24-70 f/2.8.

These are some images that I took recently with my 70-200 f/4. I know you probably will not be photographing hippos in Europe, but it gives you an idea. Happy travels!
