Summertime signals that adventure awaits. There are family excursions, girls’ weekend trips, father/son outings and solo journeys ahead. Now’s a good time to get your gear ready and pick up any accessories you might need to make your trip a photographic nirvana.
Whether it’s a weekend trip or a two month-trek, here are a few items you’ll need to make sure your travel bag is ready to go.
Expand Your View: There’s no better time to consider a new lens for your camera than when you’re about to embark on a new adventure. A new lens can help you see your environment in an entirely different way and help you take your photography to a higher level.

Pick the Perfect Bag: The right camera bag is critical in keeping your photography gear protected and organized. Whether you’re looking for a backpack with compartments, a messenger style for hands-free access jet-setting or a waterproof model for turbulent weather conditions, it’s important to find the right fit for your travel needs. We have a variety of choices and can help you find the perfect bag to accompany you on your journeys. http://www.promaster.com/products/bags
Extra Memory Cards: It’s a safe bet that you’ll be taking tons of pictures so make sure you have enough memory cards to keep up with the entire trip. You’ll want to choose high quality digital memory cards with a high-speed transfer rate. We offer a wide selection here: http://www.promaster.com/products/memorycards
Rechargeable Batteries: Don’t get caught with a dead battery in the middle of your trip. Just tuck an extra rechargeable battery in your bag and it will help carry you through your entire trip.

Travel Back-Up Method: Do you have a way to download and protect your digital pictures while you’re on the road? If you’re traveling with a laptop, consider using an online photo backup service or a portable external hard drive. Give us a call or come by the store so we can find which model would work best for your needs and budget.
Gifts for Grads: If someone special is graduating from high school or college, consider putting together a digital photo scrapbook of some favorite moments. We offer a variety of scrapbook options and you’ll be amazed at how quickly we can get the final book finished and in your hands. Graduation is a major life milestone and one that signals the start of a new journey. Touch your graduate’s heart with a gift designed to show how much you think of her.
Snap a Shot to Protect Your Luggage: Here’s a handy way to use your digital camera before going on your summer vacation—snap a photo of the contents of your luggage. If you land in Maui only to find your suitcase took a wrong turn in Mt. Charleston, you’ll have photographic proof of your bag’s contents. The photo can also help you quickly decide which items you’ll need to replace (if any). It’s an insurance policy that will cost only a few seconds and can save you time and headaches if you suffer an unfortunate turn of events. Bon Voyage!
