In exactly half a year from now I’ll be starting my journey to the Far East. Let the countdown begin.
Need photo storage?
Since I’m going to take lots of photos with my Canon 5DII on my trip, I do need some storage to save all my RAW files. The Media Markt had 32GB USB sticks on sale, so I immediately got 4 🙂 With 128GB of storage I should have a sufficient amount of space for those…
