I love backpacking! This year's trip was to the jaw-droppingly gorgeous Sabrina Basin, near Bishop, California. I spent three nights in the mountains, shooting Blue Lake, Hungry Packer Lake, Moonlight Lake, Echo Lake, Bishop Creek, Topsy Turvy Lake, Picture Peak, Mountain Wallace, and Mount Haeckel.

Thanks for responding. I'm also using the D7000 but with a Tokina 11-16mm. I got your website

marked. Very Nice....I've been a photo editor for over twenty years. Keep up the great work.

@garyg763 Awesome. I haven't used that Tokina 11-16 myself but I've heard darn good things about it.

You're a photo editor? Cool! Do you work for a magazine or is that a freelance kind of job?

[garyg763]

NICE! What kind of camera bag are you using?

[JoshuaCrippsPhoto]

@garyg763 Thanks, Gary. I shot this video and all the photos with a Nikon D7000 and a Tokina 12-24mm lens, or a Nikon 50mm lens.
