[philmont] Photo Gear at Philmont

On Sat, 10 Feb 2007 08:28:34 -0500, "Alan and/or Brenda Thomson" <abthomson@comcast.net> jammed all night, and by sunrise was heard saying:

> P.S. Also traded in the trusty Pentax K-1000 for a Canon PS-2 with a 12x
> optical and 48x digital zoom...

My first trip (with my son Sean, who just made Eagle last month) is
coming up this July, and I'm planning on packing some photo/video gear.
After the discussion on camp shoes (very useful, thanks) I figured you
all may have a bunch of photo experiences to pass along.

My current leaning is to bring my camcorder only, a Sony HVR-A1, with
batteries, tapes, and a good sized memory card for stills. I have an
excellent Manfroto monopod that also makes a comfortable walking stick,
and can fold up and easily tie to my pack if I don't need it. Obviously,
I'll need provisions for rain (NOT planning to bring the snorkling
enclosure, that seems like needless weight).
