We've just had dinner and people are chatting and waiting for the evening's presentations to begin. Pretty good weekend so far. I did my usual Thursday night camp out on the mountain; I had some fairly good shots at sunset but there was no sunrise to speak of. Still, it was a great hike and a tough workout (because I got a late start and had to really hustle).
Friday was sign-in day and the opening presentations for the weekend. Doug and I gave a pep talk for the photo contest and then started preparing for the rest of the annual ordeal :) The usual suspects from the PDML are here, as well as a couple of lurkers. It's always great to meet these friends face to face. Doesn't happen often enough. This morning I led a short hike along the Profile Trail and we did some shooting on one of the streams that comes off Grandfather Mountain. I used a couple of rolls of slide film in the 67. Might have some good stuff. I haven't even had a chance to check the digital shots from this morning because we've been so busy with the logistics of the photo contest. The good news is that Doug and I have half the judging done already and it's only 6:30 on Saturday night. We'll probably finish it all up this evening and have a non-panicked Sunday morning. That would be a first. Tomorrow brings the Doug & Mark show... -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
