Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. Yah, we hiked out in the dark on a new moon with only one flashlight for the 12 of us. I remember thinking how remarkably hiker friendly Negro Bill Canyon was when I actually did it in the day. A 3-hour hike with a sunrise start, I now carry a headlamp, sometimes two.

Here are just a couple of my favs.

Now everyone is going to know how good Cable really is. I think Cable has flown under the radar because there are so few good pictures from the canyon and because during the drought the canyon was usually dry, which detracted from its charms.

Primo picture.... it really speaks to me :2thumbs:

Still got plenty from '06 so here goes, hopefully the bumpage will lure out some other nice shots.

Tanya, didnt notice your reply, thanks a lot! Your class C canyon photos are simply amazing, I saw your recent comments about cameras and cant believe any of those flowing water shots are digital... love to hear any photo secrets you have about those.

One more for now

Thanks! You have some great shot there too.

Those photos I posted in this group were actually all taken with a little digital 3mp camera. I have got much much much better now and have a great 8pm camera to drag through the canyons again! I am excited to redo all my albums. The trick I have learned recently is to set your AEL button on the sky, open the flash and shoot. That seems to give the best balance of lighting in the canyons for me and I no longer have the washed out tops.
