When i wrote the blog all i had in my mind was, not to add a load of technical details but guess i was wrong. I did reply personally to all queries, so i hope i don&#8217;t have to go back n edit my previous post&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Anyway, Another primary concern from my readers was&#8230; &#8220;Where are the pictures from your trip?&#8221; well&#8230; As i told in my previous post., most of my time was spent on shooting the\u00a0time-lapse project but that was really advantageous at some level. When i had my camera set for shooting on my dolly, i had time to go grab my other camera body and walk around(in the vicinity of-course..duh!) to frame my other shots.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To begin with, I carried three camera bodies when i hiked. Canon T2i, Canon 5D2 &amp; Canon 5D3. Three of my favorite lenses, Canon 16-35mm f2.8L II, Canon 14mm f2.8L II(ooooh.. yeah..),\u00a0Canon EF 70-200mm f2.8L IS II. And my Lee filter set with the holders. These in my camera bag.\u00a0Manfrotto 055CXPRO3 + MH054M0-Q5 054 Magnesium Ball Head, Kessler PD with all terrain legs in my tripod bag. And a second backpack with nourishment for me and 12v battery for the Kessler PD&#8217;s motion control system. Ouch!\u00a0Ouch! My back hurts&#8230; \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Another thing that i forgot to mention is my <a title=\"Wader\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Caddis-Attractive-2-Tone-Breathable-Stocking\/dp\/B000LX7O82\/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1339547473&amp;sr=8-6&amp;keywords=wading+pants\" target=\"_blank\">wading suit<\/a>&#8230; oh yeah&#8230; it was fun to wade. And most of the pictures below wouldn&#8217;t have been possible without that.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Here are the pictures.,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I set my tripod in knee deep water to capture this shot.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter p3-downsized\" title=\"Smoky-Trip-w_1\" src=\"https:\/\/aperturism.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/Smoky-Trip-w_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"940\" height=\"626\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This was shot pretty late in the evening around 8pm.
