Off to Romania For a Month Long Bikepacking Trip

Dan Bailey's Adventure Photography Blog Posted on September 10, 2015 by DanSeptember 11, 2015

BIKPACK-AK-NOME-01150It’s been a busy year. After writing two books, the second of which comes out in October, working with a developer on my two new iOS apps, planning and shooting my upcoming video instructional photography course, which comes out Sept. 21, plus all the workshops and everything else, it’s time for a vacation.

It’s time for a bike trip. A long one. Earlier this summer, I took four short bikepacking trips out to the Knik Glacier, along the Oregon coast, the Denali Higway and the Nome-Teller road, but now it’s time for the real deal. We’re talking plane ticket, passport and a country where English isn’t the regular language.

For me, that place is Romania. Transylvania, to be exact. A month-long bikepacking and mountain biking adventures in the heart of the Carpathian Mountains, the land of forests, fortified Saxon castles, vampires, and, oddly enough, lots of brown bears. Sure, I know what you’re thinking. Don’t I have my fill of brown bears in Alaska? Well, yes. I didn’t exactly plan it this way, that’s just an odd coincidence.

I leave tomorrow morning, and here’s what I’m taking:

  • 1 Salsa Fargo 29″ drop bar mountain touring bike (pictured above)
  • Revelate Designs frame bags
  • Salsa Anything Cages
  • Black Diamond Mega-lite shelter
  • Mountain Hardwear Phantom 32 sleeping bag (on right fork)
  • Thermarest Pro-lite sleeping pad (on left fork)
  • Ridge Rest
  • MSR titanium cook pot
  • Beer can stove and pot stand made from 3 spokes
  • Garmin eTREX 30 GPS
  • Mallet
  • Wooden stake

BIKPACK-AK-NOME-01289

Then there’s the camera gear and various other electronic doodads, most of which will be carried in my F-Stop Kenti camera pack. I’m pretty sure that F-Stop has discontinued the Kenti, but there are still some available in their online store.

I like the Kenti because it’s fairly lightweight, has side zipper access and it holds two camera bodies with lenses, and has a separate top and back compartment for clothing and accessories.  I don’t like to carry a ton of gear on my back when I’m bike touring, and the Kenti holds just enough to give me lots of options without weighing me down too much.

My other favorite packs in this style are the Lowepro Flipside Sport AW and the Lowepro Photo Sport, but since this is a longer tip, I wanted a little more space for doodads and gizmos, and a second camera body.

For camera gear, I’m going with a pair of Fuji bodies and just three fast primes.

Ingredients

  • Fuji X-T1
  • Fuji X-T10
  • Fuji XF 14mm f/2.8 
  • Fuji XF 23mm f/1.4
  • Fuji XF 90mm f/2 lens
  • Fuji EF-20 flash w/ sync cord
  • Lumiquest Softbox III
  • Goal Zero Nomad 7 Solar Panel
  • Goal Zero Venture 30 Power Pack
  • 6 Fuji NP-126 batteries
  • OAproda NP-126 USB Rapid Charger
  • USB AA battery charger
  • 6 Eneloop batteries (for GPS and headlamps)
  • Joby Gorillapod
  • Lots of SD cards

Also, I’m leaving the laptop behind and only taking the iPad mini, a cheap bluetooth keyboard (decided not to take the keyboard) ,and a Western Digital Wireless My Passport Hard Drive. The wireless My Passport has an SD card slot to back up cards, and also allows wireless browsing and transfer of images to the iPad or iPhone.

I stuck about 5,000 of my best images on the drive, so no only will I use it for backup, if I need to send any photos to clients while I’m away, I can pull them off the drive and email or upload to Dropbox or Google Drive when I get a WiFi signal. Not taking the laptop will save me lots of weight, and so I’m pretty excited about this new solution. I tried it on my recent Labrador trip and it seemed to work fine.

I’ll be posting image when I can on social media and stuff, so follow me on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to keep in touch!

Ok, time to box up the bikes, so I hope you have a great fall, and I’ll see you back in the states sometime in October!

Read My Photo Essay WILD LABRADOR

Dan Bailey's Adventure Photography Blog Posted on August 26, 2015 by DanNovember 20, 2015

The Torngat Mountains, LabradorThis summer, I spent half of July exploring the northeast region of Canada as a guest photography guide with Adventure Canada and Fujifilm. The highlight of that trip was traveling up the entire coast of Labrador, and I’ve just published my first photo essay about that amazing and beautiful region.

Read WILD LABRADOR: Adventures in the Upper Right Corner and see some of my favorite images from the trip and learn just a bit about this rugged and remote corner of the world.

I posted the story on my adventure mini-site, adventures.danbaileyphoto.com. This site is designed to offer a clean, bold presentation and a simple design. As much as I love writing about my adventures here, there are some topics I feel require this treatment for maximum visual impact.

Check out the story here, and subscribe to be notified when I post future adventure photo essays.

Read My Article in Outdoor Photographer Magazine, August 2015 Issue

Dan Bailey's Adventure Photography Blog Posted on July 27, 2015 by DanJanuary 6, 2016

OP-ArticleI’m excited to report that my work is featured in the August 2015 issue of Outdoor Photographer Magazine. The article is called “My Move To Mirrorless, and it outlines my transition from Nikon DLSR gear to the smaller, lighter Fuji X-T1 and X-T10 for all of my photography.

The piece features a number of my recent favorite images, all shot with the X-T1, and it details exactly how I made each photo. For each example, the extended caption explains how mirrorless camera technology has influenced my work, and in most cases, how my fast moving style of outdoor action and adventure has actually benefitted from using mirrorless cameras.

Aside from being lighter and smaller, there are distinct advantages that mirrorless cameras such as the X-T1 offers over DSLRs. And I’m not the only person who has discovered these benefits- A a wide number of photographers, both pro and amateur are discovering that they don’t need clunky DSLRs in order to shoot professional quality work.

Having used SLR and DSLR cameras for well over 20 years, I did not take my switch to mirrorless lightly. The bottom line is that I can’t afford to use gear that doesn’t let me push my creative and technical limits as I continue to evolve as a photographer.

This isn’t about trends, it’s about tools. Since much of my photography revolves around very technical shooting situations that incorporate tricky light and fast breaking subject matter, I need a camera system that can perform to high standards and deliver fast, accurate autofocus, good ergonomics and high quality images with excellent color rendition. For me, the X cameras deliver all of those things, plus they’re really fun to use.

OP-Article2

There’s still a misperception with some people that DSLRs are far superior to mirrorless cameras when it comes to quality and performance. However, some of the arguments I hear are either not entirely accurate, or they do not reflect the kinds of real-world situations that most photographers deal with on a regular basis.

The goal with this article, which the OP editors asked me to write, is to dispel these notions. While I don’t have the same extensive experience with other mirrorless camera brands, some of my points in the OP article do apply to other mirrorless setups as well. With regards to the Fuji system, here are some addition points not described in the magazine piece.

The Fuji X-Trans sensors are capable of producing results that exceed the needs of many shooters. With its irregular pattern, non-bayer color filter matrix and no optical low pass filter in front of the sensor, the Fuji X cameras produce incredibly sharp imagery that rivals full frame. I’ve seen side-by-side comparisons of the Fuji X-E2 and the Nikon D750, where the image from the X-E2 was sharper. Plus, the pixel density/size on the X-T1 is almost identical to the Nikon D810, which means it has the same, excellent low light performance.

OPMirrorlessCover

Also, Fuji’s long history of color rendition, which stems from decades of film production, has been infused as specific color profiles into their digital cameras. I’ve always loved the Fuji colors. There’s nothing like capturing a brilliant, dynamic outdoor scene on Velvia. It was gorgeous then, and it’s gorgeous now.

Then there’s the glass. Fuji has made lenses for Hasselblad, NASA, TV and film and other uses/manufacturers for years. Their glass is as sharp as any lens you’ll ever look through, and combined with the X-Trans sensor, the X cameras produce unbelievably sharp photographs that will reproduce well, even at VERY large sizes. I’ve had photos from my X cameras blown up to 4 by 6 foot wall panels for professional clients that look absolutely stunning.

In just a few years, Fuji has built an incredible selection of 20 lenses, that encompass a wide range of fast primes and zooms, 5 of which are weather sealed, and they even have a 100-400mm lens and a teleconverter slated to come out in the next year or so. This will be an excellent combo for wildlife photographers. Also, Lensbaby has finally released an X mount version for the Fuji cameras.

Finally, with the recent v.4 firmware update, Fuji totally revamped the predictive autofocus system on the X-T1 and the new X-T10. It’s even faster and more accurate now, and as good or better than many lower priced DSLRs. Combined with the X-T1’s high buffer and 8 fps frame rate, you can max out at 47 RAW shots in full continuous mode. Is it as good as the $6,000 Nikon D4? No, but for what most people shoot, it will get the job done. I shoot lots of fast moving subjects and it gets the job done for me.

DSLRs are great, but the reality is that mirrorless cameras represent the future. As the performance gap keeps closing with each new model, I think you’ll find them to be more than adequate, if not ideal for just about everything you shoot.

The August 2015 issue of Outdoor Photographer is now on the newsstands, and you can also read the digital edition on your mobile device, or read my article online. Also, to read the full story of my move from Nikon to Fuji, check out this blog post.

Lyrics: 

Christmas this year looks a whole lot different
'cause we all gotta be a little socially distant
Can't go shopping, can't get on a plane
I miss my family, it just don't seem the same
I'm stuck at home with the one I love
It's been the way for the past nine months
Just you and me, this year we're laying low
Watching holiday reruns of our favorite shows

We'll make some new traditions and call 'em our own
dance beneath he mistletoe
this year we'll have a very very cozy Christmas.

We'll hang our stockings by the chimney with care
Get a little tree and put it right over there
Santa will know just where to put our stuff
But as long as you're here I don't need very much 
Our scaled down Christmas will be better than fine
Cause we have each other and our favorite wine
They'll be love all around and lots of new toys
This small celebration will be full of joy!

We'll make some new traditions, call 'em our own
Dancing beneath he mistletoe
You and I will have a very very cozy Christmas

No holiday parties, and nowhere to go
At least we've got plenty of snow
Some fresh cut logs in burning in the stove
And Brian Setzer Christmas on the radio!

We'll make some new traditions, call 'em our own
Dancing beneath the mistletoe
You and I will have a very very cozy Christmas

Playing outside when it's 20 below
Drinking hot cocoa decorating our home
This year will have a very very cozy Christmas

In this short film, I take you along with me during a summer hike out to an Alaskan glacier and give you a virtual adventure tour of this wild place. Set to original music.

The Lake George Glacier is one of large ice fields in the Chugach Mountains of Alaska. I've explored this area a number of times over the years, and it's always an amazing sight to behold. During this summer's visit, I was struck at how much the glacier has receded in a very short time frame. Three years ago, I was able to walk right out on the ice, but now, the edge of the ice lies hundreds of feet away from the surrounding hillsides and it's much lower in elevation.

Check out this blog post to see the dramatic difference in the ice levels compared to a few years ago: https://danbaileyphoto.com/blog/hiking-on-the-lake-george-glacier-alaska/

So, this is a little different... Today, I release So, this is a little different... Today, I released, what is essentially my debut album. I also started a music blog to chronicle and share my own geeky ideas about music and guitar, since those things are such enormously important parts of my life. I’ve been a guitar player for longer than I’ve been a photographer, and I studied music recording and production at @berkleecollege of music. And, with the crazy year we’ve had, I’ve decided that my life is too short to not try and make as much music as I can going forward. 

My brand new album, “Seven Years” is a collection of newly remastered guitar oriented instrumentals I recorded between 2000-2007. Those seven years represent the evolution, and the beginnings of my experiments and learning experience with songwriting and digital recording. You can listen and read my music blog in my profile link.
