    Sony A6000

    http://petapixel.com/2016/02/03/sony-a6300-boasts-the-worlds-fastest-af-and-highest-number-of-af-points/ So I guess you'll soon be either to pick up the A6000 for a cheaper price, or drop some money on the new A6300.

    Havasupai permit

    No other way. Call and keep calling. Took several attempts when I went down there & I had to rejig my dates whilst on the phone with the gentleman to find a date when they had availability. Remember that the Havasupai and most other native tribes have a more laid back way of "working" and don't...

    MSR Carbon Reflex Tents

    Thanks for all the feedback guys. The primary reason for a new tent is to use it whilst completing the JMT this summer, but i'd also like something that is versatile and can be used elsewhere, particularly on the Colorado Plateau. I don't think i'm a tarp kinda guy and I don't hike with...

    MSR Carbon Reflex Tents

    Does anyone have experience with MSR tents, in particular their Carbon Reflex series? Whilst my current set up is not uncomfortably heavy, my tent is definitely an area where I could shed some weight. Therefore I'm considering replacing it and it's looking like a toss up between the 2016 Carbon...

    Sony A6000

    My Rokinon 12mm was grey market, i'm sure of it. Bought it from eBay, was a little skeptical at first. It was almost £100 less than the retail price here in the UK but the seller had a lot of good feedback so I eventually took the plunge. The lens arrived a few days later and I've had no...

    Mojave National Preserve

    I love the Mojave. Such a beautiful, surreal and trippy place. Have you ever heard about the Mojave phone booth? Google it, it's kinda weird and crazy!

    Cinemascapes

    Really cool short documentary, talking to Ken Brower about his father's efforts to prevent the dams in Dinosaur NM. Lots of great old footage in there.

    Awesome pictures, what an adventure! I definitely don't envy you cycling on HIRR!

    The Emerald Mile

    Just bumping this thread because I found these vids online earlier today, I hope they work for you guys in the US. This is the BBC documentary I was referring to a few posts before this. I really enjoyed this and it'll be a fun watch if you have a spare 2 hours over the Christmas holiday and...

    Photo Books

    I've been toying with the idea of getting one done, I really like the look of these lay-flat ones; http://www.artisanstate.com/photo-book/layflat.html

    The stabilization of Delicate Arch

    Does anyone know roughly how long Delicate Arch has before it collapses? I would presume it has significantly longer left than Landscape Arch? Although I understand it's hard to predict, from all accounts nobody expected Wall Arch to collapse when it did....

    Sony A6000

    @Vegan.Hiker I didn't receive a DVD with mine either, I have a feeling John may have been referring to a 3rd party DVD...? Have you had a read through the manuals and documentation here; http://www.sony.co.uk/support/en/product/ilce-6000 ? Anyway, the menu system is particularly in-depth and...

    Sony A6000

    The Rokinon is a great lens, and i've also found that battery life is much increased when using it (or any other manual lens) - something to consider for extended backcountry trips. It seems that the electronic interfacing and communication between the camera and a lens with AF is one of the...

    Access to North Rim during off-season

    I think you might struggle. The simplest way to get to North Kaibab trailhead in winter is to hike there from the South Rim ;) From my understanding, in early November gates across Highway 67 are closed both at Jacob Lake and 45 miles further down the road at the North Rim entrance kiosk. They...

    Album Your favorite shots from 2015

    Here's a handful of my faves from this year. I made it out to California in July and Utah in October... Illilouette Creek, Yosemite. A really beautiful, peaceful corner of the park. Lyell Glacier & Donohue Pass, Yosemite Shadow Creek, Ansel Adams Wilderness Afternoon storm over Mt...

    The Emerald Mile

    I don't know that it's allowed, but I'd be happy to host both full episodes on one of my Cloud services and share the links - perhaps by PM rather than in the public forum. Maybe Nick can let us know if that's allowed... And, I also received a copy of The Emerald Mile today as a birthday gift...

    Album Night Shots and Star Trails

    It's a really fantastic camera, I have it myself. The kit lens will do reasonably well for night photography but it's a little slow, with a widest aperture of f3.5, something wider and faster will get even better results. I have the Rokinon 12mm f2 lens, which is one of the most popular night...
