Silverton

Been posted up in Silverton with Dragon for the past week.  Pashley, Drago and myself along with Scotty Vagarnold, Zach Siebert and young buck Blake Paul have made up the first crew.  The week started off by dumping a nice 24" reset, but now it has gotten very warm.  Up high the snow has still been really good though.  Its been a really fun and motivated crew, and between cheese wedges, road gaps, Scotty's freestyle folk songs and my cabin zone we have been loggin' some hamms.  Pashley panicked back to Encintas for a few days and Scotty and Seibs headed back to Utah yesterday and now it looks like some weather is moving in so the rest of us might head to Breck for a night or two and then its right back for another week of shooting starting Friday.  On another note, I bought a tilt shift lens a week or two ago (you may have noticed in recent post) and have really been enjoying it.  The problem is trying to not over use it.  Right now its all I want to use, but I have been able to show some restraint.  I decided to get the 45mm which I really like because its essentially a normal or true lens as far as distortion/perspective.  A great lens to throw on the camera and walk around with just that, because if you don't want to use the tilt shift, you pretty much have a 50mm, but have the option to tilt and shift which adds a very cool effect to a somewhat ordinary perspective or scene.  Anyways, this is my Silverton basecamp.  Not too shabby....

good call with the 45mm! Having that t.s. option on an essentially normal lens is awesome. Tilt-shifts are sick!
