P3D doing what it takes

[John Toeppen <toeppen@xxxxxxxx>]

David W. Kesner speaks of  " I am talking about sloshing 
through streams and swimming lakes. I am talking about slithering 
through mud." with his RBT. "It is all a matter of proper protection for
your gear"

 I like the notion of "hunting for photos" and being willing to work to
get the shots.  This can be hard work that requires using more than one
skill at a time.  This is a very good way to spend our time.... and a
reason to get out there an look around....take only photos and leave
only footprints etc.

Expensive equipment deserves care and respect.  It takes time deal with
cases and containers.  There are trade-offs based on objectives,
circumstances, equipment value, and preferred methods.

Yes, Dave, our lives are more important than our equipment.  An October
swim in snow melt can be fine when done out of choice (especially at Hot
Creek).  Slipping down Nevada Falls was not the issue in the case I
mentioned.  Eventually, I will publish many of my unseen images as .jps
on CDs.   I have been working with some 2K x 3K interlaced images of
late and viewing them with shuttered glasses.  I have posted an large
anaglyph and a large interlaced linked from this page:
