Iceland 2017 Load out

Hey everyone! I’m back from Iceland and as usual I learned a lot and had a blast. With that said there are a lot of questions that come up when ever I do a photographic excursion and this trip was no different. The questions started even before I left about the equipment I was taking and in some cases why I wasn’t taking more? As promised here is the list of gear I took based on the load out pic above.

Targus laptop rolling backpack. I initially bought this for Photoshop World so that I would have to carry my heavy backpack back and forth. For the Iceland trip it served as a secondary equipment bag.
Thinktank Streetwalker Backpack. I love this camera bag because it not only holds my camera gear, but also my iPad Pro and MacBook Pro.
Klear micro fiber cleaning cloths.
WD My Passport Wireless 2TB HD. This drive is a lifesaver as it allows you to backup your SD cards without having to use a computer. It has a lithium ION rechargeable battery and you can just plug your SD cards in and they automatically copy to the drive.
Klear wet pack screen cleaning pads.
SkyRoam contract free WiFi Hotspot
Platypod Max camera tripod without being a tripod.
Rode SmartLav+ microphone for doing live streaming and interviews.
Arkon Smartphone Tripod for capturing 360° and iPhone videos in general
Gitzo Traveler Carbon Fiber Tripod
Nikon cable release for capturing long exposures without having to touch the camera.
DxO ONE 24MP DSLR quality camera for iPhone.
Mevo Live Streaming 4K Camera.
Insta360 nano 360° still, video camera and live streaming camera.
Ricoh Theta S 360° still and video camera.
FlatHat Drone collapsable landing pad.

Nikon 28-300mm Zoom lens
DJI Mavic Pro 4K Drone
Anker Solar 15W USB charger.
Monster 4 port AC travel power strip
OREI 2 in 1 USA to Europe Adapter Plug
Anker backup batteries for charing USB devices.
Vovomay Hardshell Shoulder Waterproof Suitcase Bag For DJI Mavic Pro
iPad Pro 12.9″ 256GB WiFi-4G Gold
Apple Pencil for iPad Pro and case.
MacBook Pro 15″ Retina 2014 with custom Gelaskin.
PlugBug USB port for Apple wall charger.
iPod touch 32GB
Apple AirPods, but my Blackpods arrived the day I left.
Coast Head Light dual color.
Anker PowerLine+ Lightning cables.

Terry White in Iceland

I just spent a week in Iceland on a photographic adventure

Many of you know that I started my Adobe 20th Anniversary sabbatical on August 1st and if you would have asked me on August 1st did I have any big trips planned I would have said no. This was going to be more of a staycation. However, I got the chance to go to Iceland at the last minute. It was AMAZING! There’s just no way that I can do this story justice by posting the images and text here, so I decided to the next best thing and that is to tell my story with Adobe Spark Page which you can view below (just click and start scrolling):

I would say that this was a once in a lifetime trip, but I won’t because I have a feeling that I’ll go back and shoot some more. Iceland is amazing. If you get the chance to go there, take it! Special shoutout to Scott Kelby, Einar Eriendsson and Ragnar Og Ásdís for making this the perfect trip. I hope to do a workshop soon in Iceland with Einar.

I did a LOT on the go with Adobe Mobile Apps, you should definitely check out this new book to see what’s possible:
