Tomorrow night I’ll be hoppin’ on a redeye to the beautiful but humid Cartagena, Colombia for a friends wedding. Cartagena is a beach-side resort town on the Caribbean, rich in history and architecture.

I expect to do a good amount of shooting, but I’ve decided to travel light for once, and I’m trying to get the biggest impact in the smallest footprint. Here’s what I’m bringing:

My Canon 30D (of course)
Canon 24mm f/1.4 L (Thanks Jessey!)
Canon 70-200 f/2.8 L IS
Giottos Rocket Blower
Canon 580EX Speedlite
Battery charger, cleaning cloths, extra CF cards…

…and thats it! Pretty good considering I usually bring 4 to 5 lenses and a myriad of accessories. Wish me luck and hope I don’t get kidnapped!

I hope you go to Baru, beautiful beaches.

And dont forget to walk in the downtown, the historical city inside walls. Go in the afternoon and night, it`s very beautiful

Thanks for all the well wishes. Made it back safe, and it was an excellent trip. Cartagena is an amazing place.

@Saudade – We didnt make it to Baru, but we were staying in El centro, so definitely did a lot of walking around the walled city. We also spent a day at Islas Des Rosarios. I’ll do a follow-up post at some point this week with some pics.
