Left home at 3:15 AM, arrived at the dam at 4:15, went down to the gate at exactly 4:30, was #5 in line for admission to outer parking lot where we waited til 5 for admission. Sunrise was around 8, left at about 10:30 with about 600 shots. There was a line of cars halfway up the access road waiting for cars to leave so they could get in. Selecting keepers was the longest part of the processing.

Long day however you have some great rewards. Your images with the fish were exceptional.
Can you tell me about your heated seat and back system?

This is a shot of another photographer trying out my boom chair. Several upgrades since then, including a computer monitor mount arm with gas spring to assist the counterweight balance, and this heater kit: https://www.amazon.com/WATERCARBON-HSK150-Deluxe-Automobile-Heated/dp/B001L6HYQK/ref=sr_1_27?dchild=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIrbnl-_6q7QIVTuTICh0k_QmOEAMYAiAAEgIq_PD_BwE&hvadid=409992760948&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9007902&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=4584963533444400644&hvtargid=kwd3098499397&hydadcr=6808_11103737&keywords=12v+seat+heater&qid=1606764241&sr=8-27&tag=googhydr-20
I mounted a 12V 20 Amp Hour Sealed Lead Acid Deep Cycle battery that weighs 12 pounds to the left side of the chair for power and balance. Draws ~2 amps on low and 7 amps on high. Gets too hot to sit on if left on high.

The chair spins 360˚ on a 6" lazy Susan ball bearing, and the boom mounted gimbal lets you cover any part of the sky or river, to track the birds in flight. Something you can't do standing behind a tripod.

Photographer, designer, builder.... and perseverance... you are quite a guy! 👏🏻 In the last image, the detail in the head and look in it's eye, VERY nice!
