DGUT II
A follow up to Brent M's previous post... Here are my pics from the Dads Gone Utah (DGUT) trip to Grand Staircase Escalante N.M. and Capitol Reef N.P.

Trip Report Slideshow

And yes, Chuck, these were all taken with my "tiny" camera. :wink: :smile: :biggrin: :razz: :razz: Enjoy! :smile:

Didn't quite get to the end of the slide show with my precambrian dial up connection, but looked like a great trip. Nice shots to chronicle the travel and some wonderful landscapes. The shot of the Cathedral Valley at the start page is wonderful. Looks like you got some nice billowing white clouds to help things along. I liked you nice crisp processing, Scott. Makes me want to go!

Lots of really nice images, Scott! Particularly the very first one of Little Wild Horse Butte and the starry night shot in Escalante.

I was actually planning to head down there myself for a week-long getaway before a last minute business trip came up. Would've been wild to have run into you guys down there. :smile:

Great work, Scott. I'm fascinated by those Moki marbles - a great range of inspiring work!

Great shots! I really want to get out there now.

Looks like you guys had a grand time, Scott! Thanks for sharing the slideshow link. Love the photo of Little Wildhorse Butte, and all the cool moqui marble work.

Great shots, Scott! I'll be in the same area in a few weeks. Hope I do as well! Thanks for the inspiration.
I love the one man, two formats with Brent. I feel that way a lot but I only have one tripod, so it can be a tough choice. Often I'm laying one camera down to use the other and rapidly switching to try to get a shot with both. Maybe I need another tripod. That would be fun to pack!

Wonderful stuff Scott! Love the stitched panos! And the star image is killer too. That was a fun night for sure! I'm positive we had to have freaked a few folks out from miles away by light painting that peak! :biggrin:

I've attached the only full group portrait that I took, at the Gypsum Sinkhole in Capitol Reef. That's one big hole! :eek:
