[QUOTE="Boomer, post: 34253, member: 7973"] My wife and I bought our D3100 about a month ago in preparation for an 11 day safari in Tanzania. I had no SLR experience. I've read several books on DSLRs and wildlife photograph and been taking pictures like mad trying to learn as much as I can before we go. We're leaving in 2 weeks. We are going to be out in the bush with no camera stores or Amazon deliveries ;), so I have to pack everything we could need but also limit weight. I'm looking for suggestions of things I might have forgotten. Here's what I have now: [LIST] [*]D3100 [*]Nikkor 18-55 kit lens [*]Nikkor 55-300 telephoto lens [*]UV and polarizer filters for both lenses [*]Lens hoods for both lenses [*]Lens pen & cloth [*]Remote shutter release [*]Carbon fiber monopod & pistol grip head [*]Small bendable tripod [*]3 batteries [*]2 battery chargers [*]3 32Gb Class 10 SDHC chips & hard Pelican case [*]Lowenpro belt case [*]Lowenpro backpack [*]Notebook & pencil [*]Netbook with 90Gb storage and 250Gb external drive. ViewNx2 loaded. [*]For when I get back, Capture NX2 & "After the Shoot" by Hagen [/LIST] I plan to shoot everything in raw mode; hence all the storage. BTW - I looked at a 2x teleconverter but don't want to drop another $700 on photo gear! [/QUOTE]
