    I'm glad you stayed out there. Thats what its all about learning and having a fun time with the guys. Hell when I took that hard line I was like well there is a chance I break something or have to get winched up but neither happened.

    I was on that trail YEARS ago, and I can vouch for the difficulty of that area. Some of the climbs you guys did are TOUGH! Alex, your truck flexes MUCH better than I thought it did! Nice pics, and it looks like it was a great time!

    I need to start learning some better photography skills, perhaps look into different lenses. There has to be some techniques to capture the depth of these obstacles better.

    I really wasn't paying much attention to Jaime or you taking the pictures and its not like we had shade or lights to show depths. Maybe getting down at the level of the obstacles might have been a good idea whether it be sitting on kneeling? I do realize that this would be harder to capture up close while we are trying to navigate them and not to mention dangerous as rocks come flying out from the tires. That is where a good zoom and sitting back will be wiser. I say the next time we go out, we dedicate a photographer while others spot/drive.
    Someone that will crawl around the rocks and seek angles and snap tons o pics.

    I think knowing setting and how pictures are taken would help. I bet Hunter (GTBurnout) Might be able to show us a few pointers. If you look at his pictures they have depth. Idk much about cameras or photoshop though.

    Or we bring something for scale lol
