Travel photography - Bikepacking Slovenia

In June 2022 we made a bikepacking tour through Slovenia. 2 weeks only with the Gravelbike on the road. The memories were of course extremely important to us, especially because of our photo book, which we wanted to create afterwards. But especially since you have to think about every gram when bikepacking, you also need light equipment in the photo area. Our Fujifilm X-T20 (successor X-T30II) with the 23mm f/2.0 was the perfect choice for us. You can read about the challenges and exciting experiences we had on this trip in this blog post.
