Hike Photography with Sony A99II and 70-400mm Lens
I recently embarked on a challenging hike up a mountain, carrying a substantial amount of camera gear. The combined weight of my camera and telephoto lens, totaling nearly 2.4 kg, was undeniably a burden. The camera itself weighed in at around 850 g, while the telephoto lens added another 1.5 kg to the load.
Despite the physical strain of carrying such heavy equipment, especially on a potentially strenuous uphill climb, I was determined to capture the scenic beauty of the hike. The breathtaking views and unique photo opportunities motivated me to persevere.
Although the weight of the camera and lens initially felt overwhelming and made the journey more difficult, I managed to successfully complete the hike. The stunning photographs I captured along the way served as a testament to my efforts and made the experience truly worthwhile.
Below is a selection of images I shot during the hike using my camera and telephoto lens. I hope you enjoy viewing them as much as I enjoyed capturing them.
