The world famous 'CHICAGO' sign on State Street.
I recently returned from a brilliant holiday in Chicago, visiting my girlfriend’s brother and his wife, they showed us an absolutely brilliant time, what a great city! Of course when we decided to go I had a dilemma, what would I bring to shoot with? I must admit that I didn’t know a huge amount about Chicago, except that it was famous for it’s architecture. What I did know, was that I was very much working on a size/weight budget, so I would have to be clever about what equipment I would bring. Obviously my d80 was coming with me but what lenses would I bring with it? I started out thinking about my Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8 which is my usual walkabout lens, so I popped it in my trusty Lowepro Slingshot 200AW, and popped that in my carry on. Problem: I had just about enough room to fit a pair of shoes left over. The Slingshot was full of air, and the carry on bag was full of the Slingshot.
