I took my kids to a State park for a little last minute camping this weekend. It was actually my son’s idea. When I asked him what he wanted to do with the Weekend, he said, “Camping”. I laughed, told him I loved him, and then checked the weather. Free and clear. My wife just had knee surgery, so it would be good to get the kids out of get hair. The kind of wild animal I encountered will shock and amaze you….well….maybe not, but it’s still a decent story.
I recently faced a conundrum that I'm sure other photographers have faced at one time or another: I had planned a backcountry trip with friends but I didn't know what camera gear to bring. Specifically, I'd be kayak-camping on the Colorado River. The conditions would be sandy and wet with the possibility of a full blown dunk in the water. I'd need something simultaneously cheap (in case I dunked it), rugged (in case I dunked it), and good (because I wanted to take good pictures). What I chose was the ancient (by camera standards anyways) Nikon D300.
