Yeah, you can see the anchor (circled). 300 ft. of overhanging fun down to Emerald Pools.

Hop, the route in that shot is Caffeine Free 5.10a. You ever get to hit that?

back to our regularly scheduled program...

Doesn't ring a bell, but it does bring back the memories of the FKNA rope swing that you can set up from that big block that you were probably standing on when you took the picture. I have similar shots on BW film looking down-gully of my friends climbing Vomit Launch and Chicken McNuggets.

First time using a dslr, still trying to figure things out. Suggestions are welcome.

one of the first shots with my new tamron 17-50
Aperture was at 2.8

alot of you guys have great talent!!
keep it up!

Popsicle!!

Nice shot Shepherd. Looks like you had some nice lighting there

This could be an ad for rainbow sandals

Big Blue... damn, that's a pretty bad ass rappel. I didn't notice the anchor, bummer I didn't see anyone using it.

Yeah, the view from up there is a little different than it is from down below. Nice picture by the way. Here's the view from up top (not my picture):



And here's my contribution to the thread:

I think the end of Heaps is 2 big rappels, something like 450' down. The last rap is 90m and requires passing knots while dangling far above the lake. I hear most parties carry 2 60m ropes and stash the 3rd at the bottom. Rad photos.

Three raps actually. There's a 50 ft. rap down steep rock to the top of the vertical face, then a 150 ft. rap down to the top of the overhang. From there it's 300 ft. down to the bottom. As far as rope goes it's a lot easier to just use a 300 ft. rope. Some people will stash rope at the bottom, but sometimes ropes get stolen from down there, so not the best plan. We just carried two 300 ft. ropes. Of course we're using 8mm spectra cord so it's not that heavy. Tell you what, hanging 300 ft. off the deck on a single strand of 8mm cord is an interesting feeling.

More with the flowers...



Edit: If anyone can tell me what this is, I'd appreciate it. They're just showing up in my yard.

My family and I were absolutely astonished with the result of the collage. The collage turned out

much better than i could have ever imagined. picture to canvas I already told friends and family about the company and how the staff was

very professional and even took the time to call me personally when they had a question about my

order. I WILL DEFINITELY BE DOING BUSINESS WITH CANVAS ON DEMAND IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE AND

WITHOUT RESERVATION WOULD RECOMMEND ANYONE TO USE THEIR SERVICES. THANK YOU FOR HAVING PICTURES

PUT ON CANVAS.

My first time ever shooting sports and my first shoot with my new 70-200 f/4
The sharpness of this lens blows me away





and...a sheep

Did some hiking in and around The Grand Canyon this past week. Had alot of fun shooting. Here's a couple from the trip.

That second shot is pretty cool Wes. I like the rooster tail effect with the rubber.
