Ultimate Jeep Summit 2012 / MOAB UT / May 14 -17, 2012 (pre-event thread)

[Rocky Mountain Canary]

Confrimed I will be there arriving Monday mid AM cabin #93

It will be great to see so many old friends again, wish it could have been more but we will have a great time and the others will drool until next summer.

I have a kit full of new Canon dSLR stuff, so we'll have PLENTY of good photos to post. I also bought an ultrawide angle lens that's a step below a full fisheye. That thing can get serious amounts of subject matter in the frame! (It "sees" something like 167 degrees wide)

We should be coming in sometime Monday too.

I just purchased the Canon Rebel EOS T3i so maybe you can give me some pointers.

Oh yeah, and we'll have twin cams. Mine's the T2i, but the only real difference is the swiveling LCD screen on the back of the T3i. We can trade around lenses too. I have four now, the ultra wide 10mm-24mm, 18mm-55mm, 55mm-250mm, and a huge Sigma 80mm-400mm f/4 that's pretty much a National Geographic magazine ad lens. That thing weighs 4 lbs. and is 18" long.

I'm thinking the UWA 10-24 lens will get a lot of use in the vast landscape there. That and get all our rigs in one shot when we stop, without having to walk back 100 yards.

I've been loving my new Canon. Check out this supermoon shot I got of the cable bridge.


One more... a Jeep shot while we were on a mountain top getting wildflower shots.

Very nice!
