Big Bend National Park backpacking





First of all, I think this blog is a great idea. Props to Fogg for putting it together.

Second, Big Bend is a photography paradise (if you are willing to work for it). I backpacked a total of 24 miles (9 *up* a mountain) for these shots and it was worth every extra pound of camera gear (somewhere in the 35lb range).

The photo of the campsite was ISO 1000, f/5, 20s. It was a 3/4 moon out at Pine Canyon. The 2nd photo is the South Rim at sunset last friday night. Sitting on the ledge of the South Rim is awe inspiring... the photos don't do it justice. And lastly, that is my self-portrait on the South Rim (strobist info: 580 camera left, +0 ettl, white stofen; 580 camera right, -2/3 ettl, warming filter; ST-e2 wireless transmitter).

Welcome to the blog. Have fun with it. Happy shooting.
