This photographic adventure was tough, but well worth it, as evident from the awesome photo opportunities. The hike starting in Bishop, Ca took us uphill through Piute’s Pass and over a Glacier at 11,400 ft elevation. It was interesting to see what can live up there, and what doesn’t. For example, there were lots of mosquitoes and fish, but no bears. We caught golden trout, brooke trout, and rainbow trout. The trout that we ate for dinner one night were rainbow trout, yum!
I had a blast capturing images of this breath-taking landscape. The water was amazingly clear, and the taste of it was so pristine. I love photographing water, it allows for unlimited creativity with the reflections and movement of it in streams and waterfalls. I also like how slightly changing your angle of view or shutter speed can yield a completely different image. My favorite shots are usually from very low angles, involving me laying with my face on the ground or standing in a stream with the tripod getting a little wet.
I hauled all of my photo gear up there, including my Canon 50D, Tamron 17-55mm and 4 lb Manfrotto Tripod, as I intended to get some use out of them. As everyone else fished, I was looking for fine art images, and I think I captured a few. By the way, feel free to leave comments if you like any of them. Gear-wise everything went great, nothing broke and 2 batteries were plenty of Juice for five days in the backcountry. At the end of the trip I had used 8GB of memory.
On this trip I experimented with using the HDR (High Dynamic Range) technique, which allows the photographer to create images that display a tonal range of light that more closely mimics what the human eye can see. Getting these types of photos involves taking multiple exposures (usually three) and then combining them on the computer. I used a combination of Photoshop CS3 and Photomatix softwares. The multiple exposures help to capture more detail in the darks, lights and midtones.

This is a slide show (with some video clips) of a backpacking trip I took to Carter Cave state park in Eastern Kentucky. Sorry it is not very interesting and doesn't have anything about firearms or alcohol stoves. Please leave any comments or questions in the comment section and I will try to respond with the agility of a tiger. Thanks for watching

The Manzano Mountain Wilderness, created by the Endangered American Wilderness Act of 1978, encompasses 36,970 acres on the Mountainair Ranger District of the Cibola National Forest in central New Mexico. The word "manzano" is Spanish for "apple." In the 1700s, explorers visiting a small village on the eastern edge of the mountains noted apple trees growing in the village. The trees appeared to be very old but no one knew or how or when they arrived; apple trees are not native to this country. The village and the mountain both became known as Manzano.
Elevations in the Wilderness range from 6,000 feet in the foothills to 10,098 feet on Manzano Peak. A rule of thumb to remember about climate and elevation is that every 1,000 feet gained in elevation is the same as traveling 400 miles north. You start out in the desert of central New Mexico and end up in the spruce-fir forests of lower Canada. (...so to speak.)

turn out just as I hoped with a buttery soft shoreline washing over them! Sorry guys, I hope the wet butts were worth it.
