Great pics, Brad! Even the ones of Skip. ;-P
Looks like you guys did have a blast.

hats off to you, brad! ni and i had a blast hanging with you and dawn yesterday afternoon!

and i would say brad's every bit as gracious in person as he is here. i haven't had a chance to work through all i shot while out in SD, but i'd say his fingerprints--both from his where-to-go tips and some of the inspiring works in his portfolio--are all over the images i captured last week.

i just hope brad can do something about that bump on his nose...

note to shannon: you don't want to know what brad's using as an interior light for that car...

ken, this sign is at the edge of a cliff, about a 200' walk past a guardrail that says 'do not cross'. like you're going to pay attention to one sign if you ignore the other ;-)

Well I originally thought the picture on the sign should be changed, but now I think the words on the sign should be changed to match the picture...

OK Skip, you just had to go and spoil me didn't you.

I took a look at one of the test shots I did with your 70-200mm f/2.8L IS,
then did a 100% crop of a section of it just for shits & giggles.
Holy Crap!

I gotta' have me one of those!

Oh, man... Brad changed the sign! Fortunately, I have a record shot of what it USED to say:

Skip, you're lucky to be alive!

Dang! I was sure I left that Speedlight on the plane. Seriously though, that car has a light?

imagine trakking that thing 70+ on the interstate, chasing a sunset. all of a sudden, nina exclaims, 'what the hell is going on up there?!?!'... i look up, and it looks like fireworks are going off in the car. turns out it was just brad, poppin the strobe, looking for the lid to his coffee mug ;-)

Brad thought this sign might have been tampered with, too, but it seems accurate to me. ;-)

whoa...on a more serious note...Watching the news this morning they picked the body of an older man off the beach yesterday afternoon from very near to this spot. Aparently he got a little close to edge and fell to his untimely dimise. He had a full bag of camera equipment. Just be careful when faced these kinds of warnings.

But to our regularly scheduled thread...
