    Have you been up the North fork Snoqualmie river/county line road? Exit 38 has some roads to explore but pin stipes are a definite.

    5700 Rd is county line/North fork Rd. The first 10miles or so are private on both sides of the road. Used to be Hancock, now Campbell global. Eventually you get to FS land. They call it county line since 20yrs ago you could get to the king/Snohomish county line on it. Lots of decommissioned roads and gates.

    Does it go anywhere? Anywhere that opens up to a somewhat open area?

    It Peter's out into just woods, there are various camping and shooting spots along the way, no amazing views or anything like that. Doesn't gain much elevation.

    Do they have a drone? I have this vision of a light comparison without the BS overexposed in-cab pictures.

    500' in the air that can show the TRUE throw and intensity over xxx distance.

    @Nimitz has a drone. And a sweet camera.

    What do you need? I've scouted a lot of locations for different vehicle shoots.

    There's a creek/washout just past the concrete bridge about 6miles in that I usually go play around in while I'm up there.

    The issue is that the drone cameras don't have good enough chips in them to grab the kind of range you'd need for that. Night photography is basically out across the board with a drone.

    Night photography is basically, who's the best with long exposure/photo shop.

    A friend of mine has a Phantom 4 Pro drone and he's able to do long exposure night shots with it.

    Shit on a black truck.
    Been trying to get you a chunk of steel for the table @Nimitz but they are being stingy bastards. Have a project coming up in August that they are keeping all the scrap for but will have plenty after that if you are still looking by then.

    Cannot decide on 5100s @ .85 or OME 883. 1.5" looks like it sits nose high--really don't wanna touch the rear IMG_2691.jpg
