For our last big adventure to Namibia I had the chance to rent and test out a larger lens which wasn’t part of my camera essentials. I rented the Sigma 150-600 Contemporary from Miet das Ding in Austria. It was my first time ever renting equipment specifically for a trip and hence I decided that it is a good idea to share my thoughts on the pros and cons of renting photographic gear instead of buying it.
The season of caring and giving has just started but sadly over the last decades it has turned into a season of consumption, stress and false values. Often unknowingly or unwanted Christmas stands for buying items we only use for a certain amount of time only to throw it away right after the season has ended. Hence, we felt the urge of writing down some valuable tips to turn the season back to what it was originally about! Make sure to not just care for your family but for the planet too during the most wonderful time of the year.
The world’s hottest continent was never a destination on the top of my travel list. Lea however had already spent over a year in different parts of the continent and her biggest wish was to show me the magic of Africa. After some research and discussions, we decided that Namibia will be our final choice. According to our research it had the best mix of staggering landscapes and untamed wildlife. After some intensive planning our journey with CU | Camper began. And what a journey it was!
