These shots are inspirational, thanks for sharing them
. Apart from the technical aspects of which gear you use etc, how long do you spend planning, preparing and setting up for each shot? I'm aware that well-known wilderness photographers often spend many hours waiting for the light to be correct etc. These look as though a lot of thought and work went into them, so I assume you use a similar approach (as opposed to my "take three quick snaps and run"
).

Thanks very much John.
I suppose you could say that a bit of planning goes into it but as far as sitting round for hours waiting for the light to be right that doesnt happen much unfortunatly (always seem to be too pressed for time) but a fair bit of planning goes into it I suppose such as identifying places of interest from maps, other photos etc, I love pouring over maps and looking for features/places that could be good at sunrise/set, also knowing the area you are going to, where the sun rises/set etc really helps, normally I will be looking all the time for possible spots I can go back to at sunset/rise etc.

I can relate to that
. One of these days I'm going to go on a bushwalk where time is not an issue, and it doesn't matter if I spend 3 hours taking a photo.

Great hints Mickeymoo, thanks! I often do a lot of research in terms of planning, but it's usually from a navigation/walk design perspective. Will have to start thinking more about the photo opportunties as well.

Strangely, your name is shared by an excellent photographer who used to belong. Thought there couldn't be more than one Mickeymoo!

Great shots. Most are looking West or Northwest across the Florentine Valley towards The Thumbs (see the third picture). Certainly the best pictures I've seen of this peak and I've tried a few times to get some. Well done.
