Rip & Go

Rip and Go.....

Backpacker Magazine introduced me to this term.

It refers to these shorter backpacking trails that are spread out across the country.

Like many people we hit the trail on the weekends.

Two Lakes Loop is located in Southern Indiana.

It is a 15.7 mile trail that encompasses two lakes and is bisected by a connector trail.

It easily becomes a 20+ miler by hiking in a figure eight pattern.

We arrived after 10:00 PM on Friday night.

Adorned with headlamps we made it to camp and were in our bags by midnight.

Our canine companion isn't a "flatlander".

He carries his own gear, food, and water.....

I left my Leica at home. 

I carried an Olympus OM-D EM-5 with the Panny 20mm f1.7 v.1.

We were home Sunday early enough to attend a dinner party that evening.

Ben vs. Marci

My love doesn't necessarily have the same passion for photography that I have.

She really enjoys the photos that I take and is always supportive.....

I'm focused mentally when bringing a viewfinder to my eye.

I don't realize that Marci observes what I do......

I think that inside somewhere down deep,

she studies composition and light,

subconsciously maybe.

Marci spent the week shooting with my Olympus OM-D E-M5.

I was shooting with my Leica M9 along side her.

Can you tell which photo is mine and which capture belongs to her?

The processing isn't the same as we have different tastes....

The scene is of Dark Angel in Arches National Park.

Please leave a comment with your best guess.

Wherever you are in the world tonight.....

I hope that you are safe and warm.

Cheers!
