Glacier Gear………..
Before I get going on gear talk, let me say a sincere thank you to the great people that joined me in my programs at Photoshop World in Las Vegas! You guys were great and a lot of fun to present a program for. I also want to thank all those wonderful folks that stopped me just to say hi, it was great to meet the people that are helping make my dreams come true!!!!
So later this week I fly to Kalispel, Montana to head up into Glacier National Park for the long awaited workshop with Dr. Charles Stanley, Jim, and my great team! We have a fantastic group of folks joining us and anticipate a great workshop experience! I will be there a couple of days before the group arrives doing some scouting and shooting some for myself, I seldom get to do any really serious shooting when my attendees arrive. I’ve been working on the “perfect” working field system for some time, I think I’m getting close! Here is what I will transport to the workshop in my Think Tank Airport Security 2.0 bag:
A Nikon D800 body (lenses to cover 16mm to 300mm)
Nikon 28-300 AF-S VR f 3.5-5.6
Nikon 16-35 AF-S VR f 4
Yongnuo MC-36 R Wireless Remote
Fuji X-E1 Body (Lenses to cover 21mm to 300mm)
Fuji X100s camera / 35mm f 2 *(used to shoot the image above)
Fujinon 14mm f 2.8
Fujinon 18-55 f 2.8 – f4
Fujinon 35mm f 1.4
Fujinon 60mm f 2.4 Macro lens
Fujinon 55-200 f 3.5 – f 4.8
Wired electronic release with introvelameter
Half dozen spare batteries for each body, and chargers.
Close-up Diopters; Nikon 5T & 6T, Canon 250D, Raynox DCR-150
Polarizers on every lens (most are Singh Ray!)
Singh Ray Vario-N-Du0 ND filter (step up rings for each lens)
Giotto Blower Bulb
In my suitcase is a collapsed Think Tank Retrospective 5 which I use on site to carry a few extra lenses for short hikes.
So that is what I’m going to use this trip, and, as always, I will learn what I needed and what could have stayed home! I look forward to posting from a great workshop for you!!!!
Blessings,
the pilgrim

It is always good to see you and hear your great inspirations in all that you do.

Thanks Wayne hope you and your bride enjoy Tuscany!!!
Have a great time Bill. Glacier is a beautiful place. I wish we could be there but we did Glacier about one year ago and have to stay home and tend to things a little closer to home. Tell the gang I said hi.
I will Richard, we will miss you!
Sounds like fun! Have a great time! Thanks for the gear info!!
My pleasure, great to see you at PSW!
I will be SO looking forward to your images. We just returned from Glacier, and seeing the “griz” in the wild, in all it’s power and beauty was such a thrill. And of course all the other beauty of God’s work…I know you will enjoy your time and your relationships while there. Be safe and I will be stalking the blog for your posts.
Thanks Janel, I look forward to sharing!
Can’t wait to see the pictures you’ll be making there!
Me too!!!!
I think this web site holds some real fantastic information for everyone :D. “Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.” by Samuel Ullman.
I do agree with all the ideas you’ve offered for your post. They’re really convincing and will certainly work. Nonetheless, the posts are very quick for novices. Could you please lengthen them a little from next time? Thank you for the post.
