Here’s another way I study photography – I take pictures.
This shot was taken today:
Although I really like it, it was extremely tough to get, even with Lauren’s Micro-Nikkor.
Matt-
Seriously, dude, for that much money I would be going Simms or Patagonia for the sole reason that they have a warranty.
Listen to this.
Hey Cameron-
My $10,000 comprehensive plan that covers my photo equipment, my fishing gear, and my wife’s wedding ring (a modified photographers/personal property plan, they told me), costs me about $18/mo.
That’s slightly more than this website and like I said it is well worth the piece of mind.
Hey Cameron-
For the fishing I do I couldn’t live without the following:
1. Simms Guide waders. I am strongly considering going to the pants for my next set of these, but the switch to Guide waders added so much confidence and strength that it completely changed my fishing. I used to stick to the riverbed and avoid the banks – now I only get in the water if I have to. I have tried a ton of waders and I still think these are the best ever built.
2. My stripping basket. You guys know I use this but you probably wouldn’t believe how much. People who fish with me invariably make a crack about it at the beginning of the day and wind up asking where they can find one by the end.
3. My Ultimate Directions cycling pack. A variant of this design is in the ‘best waistpack’ drawing I put up the other day. For the market right now, coupled with a JW outfitters flip-down leader/tippet/accoutrement pack on my right hip, this is the best item I own.
4. Polarized shades. If someone asked me the best way to *spend money* to become a better fisherman, I would answer A) buy polaroid shades and B) take a casting lesson, IN THAT ORDER. If you don’t wear them while fishing, you are just plain missing out.
Good post, Cameron!
