Sunrises and Sunsets - Chicago Basin by way of Endlich Mesa
It took me awhile to get this one done. Over 140 photos total (down from over 1,000 taken). A few videos too. Phew. Amazing approach. Difficult. Highly recommended. Not for the faint of heart.
Hi dehrlich101 - I shoot a Nikon D7000 - it has won several awards and is probably the best choice if you want the best bang for the $ in a DSLR. But maybe too much $ if you're just getting into things. I love using Snapsort.com to compare cameras.
Vonmackle - I think it took me about 20 hours of editing plus another 8 to write the report? Maybe I'm slow... LOL
Obviously taking great pictures is a passion of yours! I really can appreciate the trip through those photos. I NEED to get down to the Chicago Basin sometime soon.
You are a friggen ridiculous photographer. Nice trip, I did Chicago Basin from Purgatory and I am even more convinced now that the train is NOT the way to get there
Agreed! I still have not been on that train and I've done Vestal and Arrow too. I might just give it a go when I do Pigeon and Turret though! Thanks for the kind words!
You are right about sunsets on mountains 9/14/2011 6:25pm
- I just experienced that on Uncompaghre - it was special. A bit weird coming down in the dark knowing that if you blew out an ankle you would be waiting a looong time for help.
Loved the video of the cat walk... I had never seen that...(but I don't get out much!)... how funny to have that going through your mind as you were climbing the cat walk! Must have been hard to not laugh out loud. congrats on an epic trip..
