Scott, your pictures always have a very appealing tonality.

I love your last photo Scott,

I am not saying what I do for work, but you may be able to guess with these first 2 photos taken with my Sigma SD14, and a Vivitar Series 1, 28mm f2.8 lens.




We are getting ready for the next season, and I saw this sunset while in Fort Providence, NWT (Canada)

All that I had with me on this trip was my Blackberry Phone, so it had to do.

Liquid, you are reminding me of the reality series in the U.S., "Ice Road Truckers." The good news is that you're out in some very photogenic scenery. The bad news is that I don't know if you can stop your truck and set up the view camera...

Thanks for the comments Peter,
We are kinda in a weird situation while on the ice. Although we are not supposed to stop, the longest lake crossing is over 3 hours long @ 30kph. As a result even in a perfect trip we have to take the odd 1 minute break.

when someone has a breakdown, we have 15 minutes to get the truck moving, before Security calls a tow and gets everyone else to drive forward.
The reason being, our trucks weigh over 150,000 pounds loaded. So we are always sinking, just very slowly. No one wants to see how long it takes to break through the ice.
If I was quick, and didn't have to help with the repair I may be able to get a shot. It isn't that easy at -50 degrees.

However there are some small land sections I may be able to set up on. Security doesn't usually allow it, but I am trying my best to bribe them with photos.

On another note, last season I was 10 feet from a Black wolf posing for me. Then photographed another wolf pack putting the run on a herd of Caribou.
Then the film camera I was also using buggered up destroying the film.

I can't wait until next season, hoping to recapture the images.

Just a quick edit. The company I was working for is looking for Canadian drivers for next season (Feb and Mar)
If you have off road experience driving big rigs hauling liquids I can pass along their contact info.

Wow, you sound as if you actually were in the series, and if you weren't, you could have been! I'm afraid my own experience in "big rig" hauling liquids consists of transporting a case of wine home from the liquor store in my reliable-in-all-weathers Subaru WRX, nothing that compares to you, or would interest your company ��. But you certainly have some life-experience stories, and photo opportunities, that I (and I'm sure other LFers) will enjoy hearing and seeing. Even Blackberry Phone pictures.

Thanks Peter!
