Did you fly somewhere cool, take photos, and feel like telling the tale to make us drool from the confines of our offices? Post them up!

Re: My Minnesota vacation trip report

Thanks all! Sure was a fun couple days back there. Can't wait to return, hopefully next summer.

Glad my efforts for the geese didn't go unnoticed 8-)

Excellent video beautifully shot and edited. Thanks for making it so we could watch it. Just the thing for a cold winter day. Happy holidays.

Great Video. I wanted to meet up with you but I recall the weather was horrible and windy that week. Look me up next time you're in the area.

Re: My Minnesota vacation trip report

Awesome video! @Z what camera gear are you using? I think a while back you did a write up on the back-bone ribcage for a GoPro, did you like the outcome? Still using it/would do it again?

Re: My Minnesota vacation trip report

Thanks everyone. Glad to see such a positive response. I was sure the length was going to be a turn-off.

I shoot with a Canon T2i, Lumix GX8, Blackmagic Pocket Cinema, and DJI Osmo. The GoPro Backbone mod was neat, and I would do it again just because it was a fun experiment, but it doesn't get used much. Action cams should be set-it-and-forget-it, and mine is no longer that way.

Great job! You have to make the Fall Colors Tour this year.

Re: My Minnesota vacation trip report

Great job Zzz, let me know when you get back there, I am less than an hour to Scotts. Be great to have a new destination other than just going to these endless lakes full of walleye.... :D

Awesome video!!

Very cool footage about the mining. We have 2 P&H shovels and a fleet of those Komatsu's at our mine, too.
