The Great Smoky Trip...

So today I embark on my trip to the Great Smoky Mountains. The Great Smoky Mountains are one of the few great National Parks with no entrance fee. They form the border between Tennessee and North Carolina.

I'll be meeting my cousin at the airport this morning and bringing him out for some great Kansas City barbecue before we leave. Oklahoma Joe's BBQ to be precise.

Aside from the professional gear we own, the two of use have rented a ton of camera gear. Everything from fast telephoto lenses to wide angle lenses, specialty lenses and converters. Two of the lenses we rented include Canon's new 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM and 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM. With the variety of equipment we'll have on the trip we will be able to take photos of anything from vast landscapes to close up shots of wild animals, macro shots of insects and beautiful night skies. You can expect some great images once we get back to New York October 9th. 


My cousin, Nic who is more into video than still photography, will be filming a lot on the trip. He hopes to have a nice preview of some of the things we do and see along the trip up within a few days of getting home. You can follow his blog here, Nic's Cinematography, where you can read about his updates and see some footage from the trip. Who knows, he might even have a teaser up before we leave the Smokies.


I look forward to hearing your "ooo's" and "ahhh's" when I finally edit and post some pictures from the trip. I hope everyone has a great weekend,
