And the countdown starts.........44 days! Since I didnt win a permit in the subway bottom up lottery, I am going to get in the last minute lottery and hopefully score a permit.

All great advice, thanks! My family and I were out there last summer doing the Mighty Five, but, the rest of the family is not into backpacking or serious hiking. About all I got was a quick hike to the bottom of Bryce and that was it. I have 5 days and getting the top down two day permits was a real high point. If I can score a permit in the last minute lottery for the Subway, that would be perfect. Time will tell.

I have all my dry sacks and will rent the footwear and neoprene socks.

Thanks everyone and please keep the tips and advice coming

I got my pack down to 35 pounds, thinking now about ditching the tent (maybe i should use this to buy a lighter tripod)

Just scored permits for the two day backpacking trip down the Virgin River Narrows. I didnt get selected for the Subway lottery, but there is always the last minute lottery the week before I arrive.

Since I am a very strong hiker, I have other photo ops planned as backups.

Any advice for Virgin River Narrows Top Down or other photo ops?

Going to be by myself, so no one to tell me where to go :)

I finally got the edits and repairs made to my satisfaction. What do you guys/gals think?

HELP Wedding photography

I have been in exactly the same position! In a nut shell, unless you feel completely happy with this, I would, as I did, respectfully decline, outlining that you are a nature photographer, and there is a vast difference.

This is what I do, and I also explain that since I do wildlife/nature that my equipment is not the correct equipment this this kind of work. Personally, if it doesnt have 4 legs or hollow bones, I am not too interested in photographing it.

Canon 7D mk2 and a Tamron 150-600 5.6 /6.3

I have the same camera/lens combo. Once I microadjusted my lenses to the camera, I get lots of razor sharp photos

Great Photo! Came close to having my name on there.

Glad you are here with us, my dad however, got it from Agent Orange. I was too young for Vietnam, but did my time in the USMC

Well wrought. Since that is "my war", I've always been fond of The Wall. Unfortunately, some of my friends are listed there.

Thank you for your service! After I left the wall, I went to Arlington to visit my dad.

Korean War Memorial Ghosts

I took this yesterday at the Korean War Memorial For those who are familiar with it, the statues of soldiers reflected into the polished stone to make for a "ghostly" image
