    So, we really had a bunch of fun :D

    After dark, we really had a ton of fun lighting up the rocks and doing night shooting, star trails, and more camera-fun.

    Smuggy is everywhere! lol3.gif

    Here's one from near the Shamen Panel...

    155051028-M.jpg

    Many of the places have names and many don't...this is what made the
    shoot successful. On this day, our guides, Gary and Murphy, brought us
    very near the Shamen Panel for supper (prepared on sight BTW).

    This was the view from our 'camp'. Simply awesome.

    Don't read too much into it. This is an merely an age-old practice demonstrating one photographer's respect and love for the other. One step up from that is the phrase "Is that your tripod down in the muddy fly-infested ravine?" or "I pointed your 600mm f/4 directly into the sun to warm up your camera for you." :D

    Looks like a fun trip I missed.

    Indeed it does look like it was a fun trip. Guess I know where next years tax return is going. :D

    Wow. What a blast. I'm going to share some snapshots here, not in any order than just what I feel like posting. :D

    First off, some of the roads were rough and dusty. But they were fun!

    156299310-M.jpg



    The guides made some great food. These fajitas were awesome.
    156301149-M.jpg

    Scmoo loves taking notes. She was often hunkered down with her journal, writing down all the stuff she just learned, or maybe just her own observations and musings...I never got to read it. headscratch.gif
    156300945-M.jpg

    See?
    156301380-M.jpg


    Andy was always eager to help all, and was constantly making sure that we didn't forget our batteries, CF cards, etc.
    156297391-M.jpg

    And he took the occasional break to enjoy the scenery.
    156305540-M.jpg

    The scenery was breathtaking:

    Marc and the guides drew maps in the dirt, while I struggled to keep my camera strap out of the picture.
    156302712-M-1.jpg

    And Schmoo took notes.

    Nice snaps, David... and I really enjoyed Schmoo's travelogue, too. Looking forward to seeing some of the "real" pictures.

    What does Schmoo's shirt say? "I'M A MISS????...."
