Thank you, Boris!
I'll be sure to pass along your sentiments and maximize my photographic
fun. It'll probably take me a good week to go through the photos when I
get back.

Walter, please pass Ted my warmest regards.
I remember the similar situation when I was about to travel to Norway
in 2004. I brought with me heavy and big bag full of all kinds of
gear. At the end, the advise I received prior to that was the most
sound one - just let go and have fun with your camera, don't sweat
about lenses, etc.
HTH.

Hi all,
Just wanted to give everyone a heads-up that I'll be leaving tomorrow to
go on a week-long excursion to Arkansas, whereupon I shall engage the
tutelage of one Ted Beilby. Unfortunately, my finances will be severely
limited, forcing me to subsist on hard tack and salt pork. Otherwise,
I'd buy everyone shot glasses from the gift shop.
Any advice on preparation before I head out the door? I have an
extremely crappy inherited tripod (Velbon Victory 451) which I'm tempted
to take, but don't know if it'll be worth the baggage factor. I've used
it on approximately, three shots since I got my K-x, but have never
really found it useful for the types of photography I've done. Will it
be worth my while to take it along on hikes given its relative
shoddiness, or would I be just as well off shooting handheld with shake
reduction?
I'll be packing my whopping total of four lenses, though I suspect I'll
only get much use out of two of them -- 18-55 and 50-200 DA L kit
lenses. The other two are my 70-300 Promaster 4/5.6 and Takumar 135 2.5.
I don't know how useful either of them would be, but I'll have them just
in case.
Any suggestions in addition to the guiding hand of Mr. Beilby will be
much appreciated. I'll be heading out at 8:00 AM central time and don't
know how much access to the list I'll have once I get there.
Thanks in advance for any quick tips you can offer before I leave!
