Love being able to see sun rise and set from a scenic locati

Post by arlon »

This van is working really well for me right now. I love being able to wake in the morning and walk 50ft for a nice shot or getting a night shot from 10 ft.. No set up, no towing, no shower.. (-:}

Thanks for the comments.

Second was with a D700 and old 16mm f2.8 manual focus lens
Third was the D90 again but with a 12-24mm Tokina
