did a 14 miles slug, with the D800 and 4 quarts of water on the back,, between the camera, lens and water, serious weight.

The spot up on top of the mountain was fantastic, but mistimed the time (I was too slow climbing the 3800 feet elavation gain), so the light was blah,, and the clouds were not cooperating.

Of course, once I got down 3800 feet the sky became beautiful, and the light less hazy,, of course, I was so tired, could barely trudge back to the car.

So, the photos were so so, but the view was fantastic, and the climb awesome, so 2/3 ain't bad.

Rain weekend, so I vow to print some photos, amazing how behind the print queue has become. I remember when I got my first 6 ink printer, I printed so many photos. Now, I can go a month or two before I do some batch printing, so,, time to pick 10-20 shots for prints.

The dangers of straps. I look back and realize my most dangerous moments with potential damage swirl around camera straps. In Hawaii, I had one of those theif proof straps pull right out of the swivel as I was jumping up
onto a rock, D7000 tumbled and the camera survived.

Two days ago, the plastic quick release broke right in the plastic, and it was a miracle that I kept m hand on the D800.

So,, Never again,, will I use camera straps with any type of swivel point or quick plastic release mechanism,

Stick to a basic strap, with no complex mechanism.
