This was an opportunistic capture from a hotel balcony, made with a small camera and 90mm lens. I made several exposures, waiting for good light, which came out briefly for this one.
The wrong gear is definitely better than nothing, but still not as good as the right gear. This is a perfectly acceptable image, but I can't look at it without wishing I had used a view camera, a higher resolution sensor, and a slightly longer lens. But if I had insisted on that, I'd have no image at all.

My "normal" camera kit (a Phase One system) fits in a rolling Pelican-type case and weighs 35lbs (plus tripod). I try to travel with it if I think there's any chance I'll be able to do serious photography on a trip, but it's not always possible. My backup is a 2 or 3 lens Leica kit with a smallish travel tripod, all of which can be made to fit in my backpack along with a change of clothes, laptop, etc. That's what I had with me here. Better than nothing is way better than nothing.

@mattblaze Wow that is quite a kit there. I shoot mostly freehand so with the Z9 and the 400mm its about 10 pounds for my primary spotting kit
If I am using the 100-400 is 6 or so.

@mattblaze Wow, that is some serious gear.
