I'll be travelling up to the Isle of Skye here in the UK at the end of May for a week. I'm new to 4x5, so will be duplicating a lot of shots I took on 35mm last June, and visiting new areas. I just need to sort out a new backpack. Other than that there'll be plenty of long weekends to the Norfolk coast, North Yorhshire moors, and maybe some time in Dorset.

Hey Scott, Drop me a note if you want company on the Crater Lake trip. I need to get back up there. ;-)
My other goals for this year:
Winter, winter, winter! I never shoot enough during this season. Nokhu Crags & Shrine Pass.
Summer in the Snowy Range (paradox?)
More RMNP backcountry bushwacking
Garry,
Might want to check on Ha Ha Tonka before going, last time I was there most was roped off to keep people from getting too close. Guess they are afraid of law suits if someone gets hurt from possible falling stones. Been a few years so it might be different now,

Bill, I was there two years ago in November but only had the 35mm with me. We were returning from a trip to Branson. There were still some locations that you could get to and shoot around the castle but I am actually more interested in some of the other areas like the Coliseum area. Garry
scott...
i'll definately take you up on that; i'd love a little company. once i get things figured out, i'll shoot you an email. i'd like to time the trip so i can do crater lake, rocky mountain np, and yankee boy basin in one trip - hopefully when the wildflowers are blooming. from my research, it's a pretty good hike in, long enough to make it a two or three day affair. spending two nights out there would allow for two sunrises and two sunsets, which was what i was hoping to do.
i don't know how you guys take all that arctic weather (rick dunn is a whole different animal), but good luck with the winter scenics.

Its a very nice overnighter, though I've done it in one long brutal
day (into the night) - 8 miles one-way, 2800 ft. elevation gain. A backcountry
permit is required for overnight (in the summer months) and they go fairly
quick. So when you decide on timing, let me know and I'll reserve a permit.

it's about 2,000 miles round trip, so i'd like to give myself more than just one shot at good light!!

"it's about 2,000 miles round trip, so i'd like to give myself more than just one shot at good light!!"
I hear ya. But it'll be the last 8 miles with LF and overnight gear packed on the back that will be the longest. ;-)
yeah, i'm working on that! dropped my technika (~7 lbs) for an ebony (~3 lbs) and am rebuilding my lens kit... i used to carry 110-150-240-300 and now i'm going with 110-180-300.
plus, i'm conditioning myself to function without food or water for up to 96 hours... i don't know about you, but all i'm taking in is my camera gear and a poncho!
should be a fun trip... any thoughts on the best time to make it?
