I found this little item very helpful for a photographer who wants to carry a handy bottle of water during photo walks. A sturdy metal clip can be attached to a belt loop or your gear bag. The other end can securely hold a typical half liter bottle by its neck.
I found mine in sports/outdoor section of a local Walmart store but I couldn’t find it on its website. It is available at other online places such as organize-it-online.com.
I came across this very informative article on photo.net. It was originally written in 2001 based on readers’ comments. So many of the recommendations, such as packing films with different speeds, do not really apply to today’s digital photography audience. However there are still quite some very useful tips covering all aspects including the things to do before you leave the house, what and how to pack your gears, safety and security, and some shooting tips. If you are interested in travel photography, there is a entire page on travel photography here.
