I hear you! But, frankly I got out of attempting to take pictures of trail rides, Jeeps and panoramic vistas. Pictures never seem to capture the beautiful areas I've visited, and I got tired of taking pictures of everybody else's rigs! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> Besides, the camera takes a beating no matter how you attempt to secure it. And, the dust out on the trails gets everywhere (The YJ isn't exactly dustproof, or for that matter, waterproof, either)! I've attempted a few pictures with some cheap cameras,even those sold at the checkout counters: pictures of Jeeps were okay; but otherwise a disappointment. For me, picture taking is too much after-the-action to be of any value.
I'm not sure, but that little adventure in Calamity Canyon may not have even been captured on film by any of my old four wheeling friends that were there.
The other thing about pictures, is that rarely does anyone ever appreciate the pictures that I've shown them; just another Jeep along the trail. Only a few have questions about my Jeep. But, that's about it. No big buzz! However, I did enjoy seeing that Texas actually does have a few rocks! Those were great pictures. The rocks are similar to Moab, only it doesn't seem that you would roll very far if the Jeep rolled off an obstacle (that's certainly a plus!) <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
