Isn't that the whole point of writing trip reports?Originally Posted by bodhran4me
Well Oskar, if you were trying to make folks jealous, it worked!<--See, I'm green with envy.
Excellent pics. I'm seriously considering buying an LX-5 because I find that I leave my heavy DSLR at home more often than I lug it along with me. The quality gap is narrowing now, as proven by your shots.
"The Road goes ever on and on,
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can.
Pursuing it with eager feet
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say."

And so I started looking at the pictures before reading and thought, "I wonder what island that is, I want to go there!". Then I saw where it was at. What a beautiful place. Thanks for sharing other parts of the world that many of us will never see.
Awesome pictures .. loved the one with the rock and the sun .. looks like a laser beam!

My photography actually declined after I bought a DSLR in 2006. And picked up again after buying a fairly simple compact in 2008 (the photos in my prevoius trip report was taken with that camera, a Panasonic FX-35). The best camera is the one you brought along.
Thanks for the kind words about the photos, everyone. Maybe I suck at hammock camping, but at least I can feel some comfort that my photos are appreciated (too bad the photos don't keep you warm at night)
Do you have a link to the other thread to discuss your hanging issues? I'd hate for you to not go out as often due to the cold. I'm trapped in an office, so I need you to post as many pics as possible!Maybe I suck at hammock camping, but at least I can feel some comfort that my photos are appreciated (too bad the photos don't keep you warm at night)

I got some advice regarding my UQ, I just haven't had the time to try them out. I'll try some more this weekend, much easier in daylight. No time for overnighters this weekend anyway.
My current top insulation (synthetic sleeping bag) simply has too little loft to be warm enough when the the temp drops towards freezing. Not much to do about that (unless carrying something more, but that's bulk and weight I don't want). I'm looking at some alternatives, maybe this nice sleeping bag/quilt from ZPacks.

I'll do my best!
Thanks for the trip report. You have a good eye for taking pictures.
I love your one tree set up. I was only able to do that once.
I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. - E. B. White (1899 - 1985)
It’s hard to take my eyes off the photos long enough to read what you have to say about them. I’m green with envy too!
