« on: March 24, 2016, 07:06:25 am »

Kevin,
Needless to say, fantastic trip. Many thanks to you, Daniel and Chris. Here are a few more highlights:

Iceland Chocolate!! (Thanks Paul!)
No wifi on the bus?
Hipstamatic
Daniel's impressions - step aside Rich Little
No coffee maker on the bus?
Airing down
Even better: Airing up
Not airing down enough
Trailer axle gets a big smile :)
Searching for Jackie Chan
Breaking trail at midnight
The Asian photo bomb
Don't go out on the ice (Paul and I have "selective" hearing)
"Yup, spikes would be a good idea here"
No popcorn maker on the bus?
Where's my CF card reader?? (Thanks Steve!)
Not a single D800/810. Really?
And the number one surprise:
Swimming Israelis -who knew Pentax has 9 lives?

Here is Chris with Pentax, Arye's adopted mascot:

I think if you sit back and observe people you find most are trying to be very polite most of the time. We are all occasionally clueless, and if we are considerate 90% of the time and there are 10 of us, well that's pretty simple math. In situations like this, I give up and climb a hill. Makes me happier anyway.
:)

On railroad fantrips, the "photo run-by" is a staple ingredient. The train stops at a scenic location, drops off photographers, backs up a couple of hundred yards, and then comes roaring past, spewing as much steam as possible. Meanwhile, all photographers have lined up, careful not to get in each otherĀ“s field of view. Except on one occasion, a little old lady with an Instamatic rushes ahead to get close to the choo-choo train. And is met by a unison roar: "Hey lady! Get your butt out of there.." 

So, peer pressure might be another solution, but do not be subtle about it.
