The latest winter storm is now finished and we are now buried in snow. We are used to getting snow, but 20+ inches overnight is a bit excessive for us. I spent yesterday shoveling snow and then sled riding with the family, but today I left the house early and headed to my favorite spot, Ohiopyle State Park. Even though I go there quite often, things are always a bit different, especially with multiple feet of snow. My first spot was Cucumber Falls to try and get there before it got crowded.
With the year’s first really big snow all done for now, I packed a camera bag and headed out to brave the roads in my 4×4 to go see a local favorite. Traction was a bit hard to come by, but my truck did great and soon I was hiking through 20″ deep snow and setting my tripod up. Hopefully tomorrow I can get out again.
Ask any hobbyist photographer how many camera bags they have owned over the years and the answer surely will be high. I may be a bit guilty trying to find the perfect bag that will hold and protect all the gear I need, be comfortable to carry and also look good while doing it. Everyone wants something just a little bit different in form, function and style, so relying on others to give an opinion is quite difficult. Up until a few weeks ago, I thought I had my ‘perfect’ bag, a Billingham Hadley Pro. Then Tenba had to go and release the Cooper series.
With 2015 winding down, I’ve narrowed down some of my favorite images that I’ve taken this year.
