That's actually the top of the red crater on the Tongariro Alpine Crossing in NZ... This is another shot of the drop off on the other side of the ridge:

And the hottie in the last pic is my dear friend Laura. She's an actress/model/singer in NY. I was spoiled being able to shoot her consistently for 18mos. She's got that nymph/elf thing goin on, big time.

I love the CoolPix, I think this is the 3rd one that I have had. I miss the feel of my old F3's and the Nikkor lenses, but digital is definately a bit more convinient than film. Boo and I also have a Cannon DSLR, but it can be a bit awkward to carry on hikes. The CoolPix slips right into a shirt pocket or side pocket on the pack. If it is a pain to carry, I won't have it and will miss pictures.

That being said, I still lug a Bogan tripod and multiple lenses on occasion

I feel you there. That Tongariro hike I posted is about 20km up over three volcanoes. As much as I wanted to take a point-and-shoot for ease, I knew I'd regret it with the views. But let me tell you, a DSLR with battery grip with a wide-zoom gets friggin HEAVY after about 5km.

Point-and-shoots have come such a long way over the last 5yrs, particularly when it comes to landscape photography.

Yeh i have a Nikon D90. My Aunt has the S9100 I think. I love that but it's like $300

Thanks! I've never worked so hard for pics in my life. Sidenote: For you fans out there, the Tongariro Alpine Crossing is where they shot the scenes for Mordor. I've walked in the knees of Mt Doom!

For the first time since I started doing this I think I actually took a couple of decent pictures.

Now that's just a handful out of the hundreds I took over a long weekend and really only a couple of those stand out as anything more than snapshots for me. There is definitely a lot more to this than buying a half decent camera and shooting in RAW.

jjmitchem · 02-24-2012, 09:26 PM

Looks like I might be buying a new "deployment camera". Any suggestions? Looking for something under $300.

We have our good DSLR and lenses but I don't like taking that out into a field environment. I had a Nikon point and shoot for my last trip to Iraq but I cannot find the charger for it and I am leaving for India this week for a month

Guess I should include a couple of my pics in this thread too
