Truck Camping Photo Thread

I have an agreement with a co-worker. If one of us wins the lottery then he gives the other one 1 million dollars. It is a good deal for me as I do not play all that often!

 

Yeah that is a good deal!! I play a dollar in each drawing. Illinois has 3 drawing a week for the Lotto and then I play a dollar a day in the IL. Lucky Day Lotto. $200 is the most I have won but I have given that back 10 fold at least. LOL!

 

I count my winnings each time I don't play!

 

Seriously?!? I didn't know you could take long exposures...I'll have to try that! I was up in Acadia National Park a couple weeks ago for the Night Sky Festival.

 

do you have an app for it?

 

Not sure what @the_dau used, but based on the post I did some research just now. You can use iPhone's LivePhoto feature to create a "short" long exposure, or get a long exposure app. I just bought "Slow Shutter Cam" ($1.99), gonna play with it soon hopefully.

 

that’s kinda what I’m wondering. There seems to be a bunch of apps for it, I’m just trying to figure out which ones actually work. Lol

 

Does anyone know where I can get something like this Smittybilt Trail Shade http://www.smittybiltdepot.com/Outd...aspx?t_c=88&t_s=565&t_pt=9575&t_pn=S/B5662424 except wider on the end that connects to the vehicle? I have a mid-height rack and something like this would be a lot easier to set up than getting custom brackets and an awning.

 

DIY 10x16. I've got about $60.00 in it.

 

I guess what I am looking for is an easy (lazy) way of connecting the tarp to my roof rack, I saw an awning/tarp similar to the Smittybilt that had built in snaps that wrapped around a roof rack and snapped together and am looking for something like that.

I saw one from the UK a while back that had a built in snap system that looked great except I would have to order it from the UK and that was pretty expensive. I should have saved the link.

I may end up doing what you suggest and just getting a tarp and creating my own snap system

 

like this?

Very similar, not quite as long and didn't connect to the wheels. I will have to search through Google images again and will post if I can find it.

 

Beat me to it.

 

Beautiful spot. I'm guessing that's old 105...?

 

A scouting trip for mule deer outside Granby, CO. It was in the 20's in the morning, but the little wood stove in my tent meant I was almost too hot when I got out of my quilt. No deer spotted, but enough sign that I think I'll risk returning here for season. I did have a rather tense encounter with a young bull moose (no photos as I was point my rifle at him while backing down the trail) and managed to bag a grouse on the way out.

Truck from where I slept:



Tent from the outside:



Tons of room inside with the wood stove:



The views across most of CO aren't all that bad right now:

 

Yes, we are out in the mountains most weekends this time of the year. There are great places to camp and lots of forest service roads to explore now that the weather has cooled off.

 

nope, my LG G7 has a "manual mode" where I can set focus, ISO, exposure length, white balance, etc.

 

yeah long exposure on my phone is amazing
