Photography Equipment
Justine has been part of #TeamPixel for a few years now and loves the quality of photos this phone can help us create for the blog and our Instagram. No hard-to-use DSLR needed!
This is the phone that Scott uses to take photos for our blog and Instagram. It has lots of great features including a wide angle lens, automatic aperture setting and excellent night mode.
Bridge cameras are perfect for beginners as you can try out different settings like you would on a full DSLR camera but without the need to change lenses. We chose this compact bridge camera for ourselves as the 50x zoom and 20.4mp lens is a really powerful combination!
Travel Essentials
Whether you’re skiing or heading out on a city break, we can’t recommend merino wool clothing enough. It keeps you cool inside, warm outside and is a total miracle fabric for sweat-free travelling!
We’ve recently discovered silk sleeping bag liners. They’re light, portable and the perfect solution if you can’t be sure what type of conditions you’ll be sleeping in; e.g. when camping or sleeping in hostels.

Dog Travel Essentials
Instead of travelling with a large dog bed, consider using a travel dog bed that has a roll down cover to protect your car when your dog jumps into it.
When travelling in warmer weather, your dog may need a helping hand to keep cool. Cooling mats don’t need to be plugged in and lay flat.
