Re: Back from my first ever desert vacation
Willcad: That post about the laptop was directed to Reptilist but I agree with you on the use of them in the desert. However I built a case out of an Aluminum case with foam padding (with nipples) for the inside and it has a good seal. We have used it in the desert and on trips but now have a 40gig...

Re: Back from my first ever desert vacation
Tethering for portraits on inside shoots is ok but have you ever tried to use your laptop outside? Just seeing the LCD is almost impossible. The viewfinders on the Rebels are small and dim and take some getting used to. Nice camera, I think Gregg has one too. Don.... Very true. Plus, I would never ...

Re: Back from my first ever desert vacation
Yes, I shoot a Canon Digital Rebel 300D. Although it's obsolete technology by today's standards, it still takes a pretty good picture, and has proven itself fairly tough and very reliable over the 5 or so years that I've had it. The main thing is to have fun with it. Many of the older models perfor...

Back from my first ever desert vacation
Well, I'm back from my first-ever desert vacation. I spent a week in Vegas and the surrounding area, with day trips to Hoover Dam, Red Rock Canyon, Valley of Fire, and the Grand Canyon. I kept it simple and easy, since I had no desert experience and wanted to come home in a plane, not a rubber bag. ...

Re: It's All About Attitude And Your Choices
Not to be a wet blanket or anything, but... That story is right about one thing - every situation is a choice. I choose to look at life realistically. In reality, bad things happen all the time. Bad things happen to me, to people I love, to people I hate, to people I don't know. I choose to watch ou...

On the way back, I am planning on detouring to Oatman, AZ to see the wild burros and maybe have dinner. Any tips on route, ...
