Borderlands Photo Safari... Brainstorm

[Chad C]

I'm looking forward to viewing this epic photo journey! Bring home some keepers.

I need a another 32 gig card mainly because I don't want to risk my one card failing.

Cameron just bought a new apple laptop today.

Casey got a new tripod and a go pro.

If we decide to hike Livermore, you might want to think about a camelback for water. They suggest we carry a gallon per person.

FYI - If you're looking for SD cards Best Buy has a high quality 32GB Sandisk for $34.00, I think it's normally $80 or so. I picked one up yesterday.

I'm looking into a new tripod, mine is pretty cheesy. I also just bought some light gels and I'm going to snag some little flashlights for a project I have in mind. I've been inspired.

I have a heavy duty tripod that y'all can borrow. It's not suitable for hiking, but for short forays from the truck, it would work great.

Oh, and have fun! Seriously looking forward to some high quality pixels!

If I decide to rent a big boy lens...which do y'all recommend?

What lenses do you currently have?

I'd go for wide angle 2.8. Just tell the guys at the rental place what your goal is and they will hook you up. You shouldn't need a big zoom for this because we will not do a lot of sitting and zooming on birds, deer, etc.

You want wide in the 11-12 mm range on the low end and maybe 16-24 on the high end.

Also, make sure it is the same size as your polarizer or be prepared to buy a second one.

Definitely stop by and see John Wells. I've met him a couple of times when he bought material from us at Mueller. He use to be a fashion photographer in New York and is a real cool guy.

Wish I wasn't working that weekend. I would head down that way and show y'all around my Inlaws ranch south of Alpine.

That reducer I have goes from 77 to 67. Not sure it helps you?

I hunted the Coal Mine Ranch for 18 years. It is on the drive you are taking. Marfa area, Sierra Vieja Mountains.

Has a nice house and is very private. I could ask if you folks want me to......

The 12th picture is of the Plaque that marks where the B1B crashed. I was there and need to tell the story here one day.
The second pict is the train tunnel they carved out by hand back when the short line train started moving coal out.

I remember that. Sad news for Abilene and Dyess.

Wow!

Just might have to get back out there and dedicate a long weekend to that ranch.

Thanks a lot for the offer on a gate pass but we are already going to be pressed to cover the goals we have in 4 days (two days being the road trips out and back and one day on the Davis mountain Nature Conservancy preserve).

I'll see what I can do!

Tell us more about John Wells. Looks like a good quick stop.

John gave up the big city and luxuries of New York. He moved off the grid to Terlingua and is trying to become completely self sustainable. He is building a structure out of shipping containers that will be a greenhouse and his living quarters.
