Nice pictures. Death Valley has always been a photographic challenge to me as I arrive too late in the morning for the good light and I leave before the golden hour in the afternoon. I am going to have to camp or stay over in the area to get some good shots.

I have had 6 Defenders and 2 Land Cruisers, and I liked them all. The FJ 40 was particularly memorable as I drove it to Panama in 1974. For expeditions, I like the Defenders because of their load carrying ability. Very rugged vehicles, and they never broke down on me in the desert. As a daily...

Excellent threads. Definitely a trip worth making. Thanks for the reports.

Adobe has gone mad. I have been using Photoshop and different Adobe programs for years, and I will be looking for alternatives. It makes me sorry that I have been shifting my websites over to Dreamweaver. It makes we want to go ahead and get a new laptop and install...

I am a flying doctor with the Indian Health Service, and I spend a couple of weeks a year down at Supai examining patients. When I fly down in the helicopter, I often use my Iphone to shoot video of the four minute flight down to the village of Supai. The two most useful lenses to me in...

Looking forward to the Expo on Friday. Every year it is different. Should be interesting.

Thanks for the link. I would like to learn how to do long exposure night photography with digital camera.

Flying to work yesterday to the Apache Reservation. The clouds opened at the last minute allowing us to land at Fort Apache.

So far it has been holding up great. It has been in the hot Arizona sun for more than a year and so far no problems.

These drones are amazing and scary. Ever since the Iranians spoofed and took over a drone that flew from Afghanistan, and they landed it intact in Iran, it became clear that command and control of these machines is very much up for grabs. One of these bad boys fully loaded with ordinance in...

Nice photos and links. I always enjoy seeing how people prepare their vehicles for expeditionary travel. All the trucks pictured have lots of great modifications. More good ideas for my own vehicles.

Transport of the poles is a safety issue. The poles for the Springbar campsite three fit across the floor of the second row of seats. They are safe there, and they would do no harm if there was an accident because the poles will not travel. The poles must never be carried in the car in a...

We debated the tent question for a long time before we purchased the Springbar Campsite Three. It has a 7 x 10 footprint, and I wondered if I should get the 10x10 size model. The Springbar and Kodiak tents are nearly identical in size and layout. I have no idea about differences in...

I like Lowepro, but I have gone away from the bigger bags to smaller ones for each camera that I carry. I have three cameras with three lenses - wide angle, telephoto, and macro each mounted to a camera body and in it's own case. Why three cases? Security is better with three cases. I have a...

Nikon D2 with 12-28 zoom Nikon D300 with 105 macro Nikon D700 with 70-200 zoom iPhone 5 camera My wife shoots the macros. I use the wide angle, telephoto, and iPhone 5 cameras.

Nice photos. Another thing for my to do list.

An excellent adventure especially since you started from Kentucky. Most people would consider just the drive to Colorado to be an adventure, but you guys were just getting started by the time you arrived out west. I would like for you to transfer a few units of your energy and endurance to me...

I would love to have gone on that tour. When we visited Petra, we made a small excursion in Wadi Rum in the sandstone outcrops called inselbergs. Down in Arabia you see the same thing at Medain Saleh. Same outcrops, and you can follow the Hijaz railway throughout the entire area all the way...

Land Rovers look awesome even with Prime Ministers and movie stars in them. I love the door hinges on Churchill's Land Rover. I never met a series Land Rover that I did not like.
