Been a busy period recently, with yesterday culminating in the 4th focus-group and 12th participant in 5 days.
In a flickr style, What's in your bag? I thought i'd present to you some of things that i've been taking with me on fieldwork.
Above: 2 cameras (one video camera), maps+directions, 2 dictaphones, pens, note paper, keys, discussion guide and incentives.
Below: some images from some fieldwork in West Yorkshire where i took some small recordings of the participants playing Mario Kart on their Wii.

This project has been a really good lesson on the importance of getting the little things right: making sure there are back-up dictaphones, spare batteries, charged up cameras and so on. After having to rely on one of the above participants for a spare video camera during the session, i think i might have learnt my lesson :)
