Heading to California

11 more days until we leave - is it too early to start packing? ;D

 

not to early, my wife starts about then....don't want to forget about anything

 

Four more days (95 hours) until we leave - I can hardly contain myself! I bought another 8 GB memory card for my Nikon D80. Has anyone ever actually taken more than 5,000 pics in a vacation?

 

I hate the last couple of days before a vacation... ; Its so hard to get any real work done... ;

I took over 9,000 over the course of a 5 day trip to Yellowstone back in January 2008. ;

 

WOW! Maybe I should buy another card...

 

You should be fine with what you have.

Because of the recent efforts by the animal rights folks to get access to the park during the winter completely banned, I took as many shots as possible because I had to assume at the time that it could be my only trip there in the winter. ; I took shots at every possible angle of just about everything, so I ended up deleting all but the best shot or two of each location. ; Since then it looks winter access to the park is somewhat safe since the judge ruled that the reduced number of snowmobile permits and guide requirements were working to reduce the human impact on the park. ;

 

Have a Great time.

 

Leaving in two days. Any last photo requests from the West coast?

 

I have not heard of those...I'll see what I can do.

 

We had an amazingly wonderful and exhausting trip. We just returned so I have not processed anything yet. I tried shooting RAW for the first time, so I'll share some of those when I get them ready. Until then, as requested, jpeg straight from the camera...sorry it's blurry. I did NOT take my tripod.

 

Home of the amazing "Pineapple and Teriyaki BEEF" burger...we do not have these resturaunts where we live.

 

welcome back, looking forward to seeing your photos.

 

We stopped at a gas station in Flatonia, Texas and this was next door.
