Stuff<\/h3>\n

I sent 73 e-mails yesterday, just the beginning of catching up. Got flights and vehicles for the now sold-out UK Puffin IPT. Enjoyed another long swim and an ice bath. Y’all just squeaked by yesterday with 3082 views to keep the 3000+ views streak alive… <\/p>\n

This blog post took 3+ hours to prepare and was published from my home at ILE, FL just after 7:00am. Today’s blog post is the 64th straight with a new educational blog post.<\/p>\n

I fly to Morro Bay on Friday for a week-long busman’s holiday followed by the Canon Destination Workshop. On Monday,Bosque In-the-Field workshop participant Dwayne Marrot called and signed up for my Friday Morro Bay In-the-field sessions and then registered for the Canon Morro Bay Live Learning Destination Workshop. Together they make for a neat and relatively inexpensive package. It is not too late for you<\/em><\/strong> to sign up for one or both and I would love to see you there. Scroll down for complete details. <\/p>\n

Great Think Tank Rolling Bag Offer<\/h3>\n

Without a Think Tank Rolling Bag, I’m Going Nowhere!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Whether I am heading off to the Southern Ocean or down to the lake by my home, one or both of my Think Tank Rolling Bags is going along. Air travel is done with either the slightly smaller Airport International\u2122 V2.0 Rolling Camera Bag (I actually own the limited edition fancier version, the Airport International\u2122 LE Classic–there are still a few of those in stock on the Think Tank website), or the larger Airport International\u2122 V2.0 Rolling Camera Bag. I always use the larger bag when the 600 II is going on a plane. When I am driving to a location, I travel with my gear safely stowed in both of these great rolling bags. I leave them un-zipped to allow for easy access. Discerning professionals use and depend on their rugged and practical Think Tank Rollers to protect their gear while they get where they are going without breaking their backs in the process. <\/p>\n

Though I am not a backpack person, I do know that Think Tank makes a great line of them for those who are. And I use and love their Glass Limo long lens backpack. It proved invaluable on my Cheeseman’s Southern Ocean Expedition and it is going to Morro Bay with me. I will use it there to get the 500 II that I am borrowing from Canon Professional Services up and down the beaches. Since I am flying to the west coast without a big super-telephoto lens I’ll be flying with the the slightly smaller Airport International\u2122 LE Classic Rolling Camera Bag. This saves me weight and bulk. I used this same bag for the Southern Ocean Expedition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
