What at first appears to be a short and easy hike turns into a heart pounding climb up a grizzled rock face. If the Fathsma doesn't kill me the noxious gases on the trail surely will.
Miraculously, I manage to avoid a coronary and clear the tree line to discover a mind blowing vista. This is what landscape photography is all about. That mad dash to the summit before sunset followed by a frenzy of composition hunting while the clock is ticking.
If you could only bring one wide-angle lens, which would it be? I've made my choice and I'm sticking to it but will it be enough for this huge panorama?
The next morning serves up perfect conditions for an aerial panorama with the Mavic Pro 3 Cine drone. Not only do we get calm waters and beautiful light but we also get a bald eagle. If you can see it I'll be impressed.
Which one of my friends from 'out West' is coming for a visit and are those disgusting looking mushrooms edible or not? Why do I always carry my bear spray and what are the magic words to stop Amanda from turning back and quitting?
There's really only one way to find out.
Hit play, then hit like.
