I'm just back from traveling throughout Japan for more than two weeks with 18 teenagers and @vankrey. We hauled our tripods everywhere -- but this was the ONLY time we used it, and it was the very first night we arrived into Japan. It's just the somewhat surreal garden of the hotel, lit with unnatural colors. I can't believe it . . . why did I haul my tripod around the country when I had only one small carry-on size suitcase and had to limit the number of lenses I could take?
@taffy and @darryl -- thank you for asking about us, and apologies that I couldn't post while traveling. We were maintaining a blog with the students, and @vankrey and I were responsible for the photos and entries on the home page http://ethsjapan2014.blogspot.com so we were up until 2 - 2:30 almost every night working on that, and the alarm went off at 5 - 6am every morning so we were quite sleep deprived. But we had the BEST group of student photographers! Keenly interested, and each with a good eye, we engaged in many photo discussions with our students.
@taffy -- Since this wasn't a "photography" trip we didn't ever go back to get tripods for evening, or anything like that. So if we wanted tripod, we had to carry it all day long, and our days went from 6am to 9pm or later. Having said that, we had several students who were keenly interested in photography and avid enough a hobbyist to have taken photography in high school!
