One year old camera with 2 lenses. Well taken care of. He wants to upgrade to a D700 I think for his new business plans.
Send me DM and I can hook you's up...
I was referring to the D300s and not the D300...

Got this in a mailing from the Really Right Stuff. It is a photograph taken in Alaska by Stephen Henry.

http://reallyrightstuff.com/mmRRS/im...enHenry-lg.jpg

The accompanying description is:

"Last fall, a group of us were in the Alaskan high Arctic photographing polar bears. The bears were congregating, waiting for the Beaufort Sea to freeze. We had driven close enough for telephotos, and some of us were photographing from the ground when two young bears started ambling toward us. Their pace seemed to speed up as they got closer, and in our rush to get back in the vehicle, a couple of tripods got left outside. This bear sniffed at the tripod for a while, then picked it up and walked off with it on to nearby ice. The two seemed attracted to the foam padding and the quality construction of the tripod head. After nibbling the foam for a while, they apparently became bored and wandered off. When they were well gone, we were able to retrieve the tripod. Fortunately, the equipment and the photographers survived the adventure just fine."

They should make that the cover for next year's catalogue with the caption: "Even Polar Bears appreciate quality RRS equipment when they see it!"

That's a real funny one. The bear had good "tripod taste," and picked an expensive one

A few shots of the summer excitement out on the Dalton last week:

Some of the craziness up at Deadhorse:

Almost made it to Prudhoe:

This wasn't there a month ago. Down by the Galbraith area, it's been tagged but hasn't been hauled off yet. Just hope it wasn't another fatality.

Another dedicated individual headed south just before Oil Spill Hill:

Sukakpak Mtn through the smoke:

A couple from the area that burned a few years back just above the Arctic Circle:
