Photography and small streams

[gusstrand]

There have always been lots of great photos at smallstreams.

To that end, what do you use? Got any tips for capturing outdoor/stream photos?

My current quiver is:

Underwater Point and Shoot: When they first came out, my bride immediately got me a Pentax Optio W10.
Point and Shoot: Canon G9 (everything a DSLR can do except change lenses...)
Main DSLR: Nikon D200
Backup DSLR: D50 (still one of the most underrated DSLRs ever)
Nikon 50mm1.8
Tamron 17-50mm F/2.8 - my main, go-to. This one rarely leaves the D200.
Tamron 70-300
Various Nikon kit zoom lenses.
SB400 Speedlight
SB600 Speedlight

My tips?
Have a camera on you at all times. Heck, iPhones are at least 5 megapixel cameras these days. We don't have any excuses.
Take lots of pictures of things you like, compose well, and let the camera do the work.

Panasonic Lumix TS2 for most of the shots I share. This has been a great camera but it is about time to upgrade.
