Greetings to all:
This is my first submission to the Listing although I have been reading
along for some time. I have been using Olympus equipment since purchasing an
OM-1 in 1976. Since them the collection has expanded quite a bit (hello, my
name is Charlie and I am a Zuikoholic) but that I will leave for another
time. Like many of you I bemoan Olympus' near abandonment of the
Professional System, but nothing can replace my OM. They are like
comfortable old shoes. Well designed, well made old shoes. I have had
opportunity to try others but nothing made of plastic and IC's can replace
them. But I digress.
To the point: I will be traveling to Southern California in September and
plan to shoot in the nearby Joshua Tree National Park. Has anyone on the
List been there; do you have any suggestions of particularly good spots? My
time in the area will be limited (darned meeting!)so I must use it wisely.
Since my body will be on EST it should be an ideal time for early
morning/sunrise shots. Also can anyone recommend a good slide film for
photograghing in the desert? My preconceived notion is that there will be
little color so I'm cosidering using E100vs for some extra color pop as well
as my usual Kodachrome. I've never visited a desert area so any advice would
be appreciated (we have lots of heat here in SC but little desert). Thanks
Charlie Geilfuss
