Hello I'm Panoman617 from Michigan. I like taking long hike's with my 6x17 to do landscape photo's. Ben working as a photographer for the State the last 23 years.

Welcome, Panoman.

Well for recent hiking, I almost went up Pike's Peak on the 4th of July, but it fell through. Got about 45 minutes into the hike (still in the trees) and had to turn back. Oh well, you can't win them all.

Greetings. New to APUG. I have found the information and community highly useful for my research with pyrocat-mc processing for efke 4x5, 6x6. Are there many Colorado landscape explorers here?

Hi T.R.

Welcome to the group.

Wish I could say I was a Colorado explorer.

Being currently located in the Phoenix area, it's hard not to want and get out into nature in one of the local mountainous area's with your camera. South Mountain is a great area to hike and get some great shots of nature, sunsets and the skylines. Then again if your willing to get up early, you can get way out into nowhere on a day trip or up into Sedona for that matter. I'm currently hot on the trail of finding areas of flowers blooming as March into April is prime time for shooting before the weather gets too hot. With all the hiking I've been doing I'm now beyond finding the right boots phase and on into gear and areas for overnights.

Good morning, Wayne;

Nice to know that the Arizona flowers and things are still out there. The covers on ARIZONA HIGHWAYS were always impressive.

And, while it is not yet time to go seeking the alpine plants here yet (but soon) there are many flowers starting now right down here in the lowlands. I need to get out the ring flash to go onto the front of the lens for some more even illumination and greater depth of field. One nice there here is that we do not get the high temperatures you can experience, but I do agree that the area up around Sedona is nice.

Enjoy;

Hi All,
I live in Tasmania, Australia which is where I do pretty much all of my hiking. We have some very nice wilderness areas that are very conducive for getting "lost" for long periods. I also enjoy skiing which I try and go elsewhere for when possible as our ski areas are not very extensive or reliable.
