Re: Joshua Tree NP trails, a few shots
glad to hear that you liked the pics, guys. I'm going out to terrain every other week or so - I'll take some pics next time again. The only problem is that I don't dare to "play" on any obstacles whole a lot out there because I fear getting stuck or break something. Maybe I should get the hilift jack or simiilar recovery device at least; last time I wanted to "play" and begun roll over some boulders - and almost instantly got a big rock stuck under my right wheel - I backed out of that quickly after I hear ugly "dragging" noise from under the vehicle, and I think it was smart because the rock would probably end up wedged in my front wheel well (and maybe screw up or break someting while there) ... I admit I got cold sweat when I saw what is bound to happen - being stuck would result in some 15 mile walk thru desert canyons in 100F+ heat (on a cold day); so I generally avoid any risks.
BTW I bought a new lens today and hope to get better shots next time 
one more shot from my usual "lite" wheeling:

Re: Joshua Tree NP trails, a few shots
What camera/lenses are you using? The shots look great.

Thanks. I recently bought EOS 40D with EF-S 17-85mm f4-5.6 IS USM, shots in this thread were done with that DSLR+lens combo. It was my 2nd copy of that lens, the first one had focusing issues and I exchanged it; I however still didn't like the wide angle performance, so I returned it yesterday and ordered supposedly much better EF-S 17-55mm f2.8 IS USM lens - considering how much I paid for it, I should've bought myself a winch instead . BTW in the past I used mostly film, both B&W and color, and I still do use film, although for some things such as off-roading I'll probably prefer using DSLR these days.
