[MENTION=93894]J-BlickPhoto[/MENTION], How in depth is your wiring for your accessory lighting? Do you run dual battery set up or just the single battery? Did you run wiring through rear hatch?[/QUOTE

It's pretty standard, with no dual battery setup....YET. I'm starting to gather the parts together to run dual batteries. For the rear lights I do go through the rear hatch. I've seen the other setups where they run the wiring through the antenna which seems to work just fine.

Spent the weekend on the coast camping with a couple of my friends. One of them owns a 2014 Taco. It's got an OME lift and AllPro bedrack with a seemingly endless amount of mods to come.

The weather was terrible to say the least. Rains and a constant onshore wind of 25+ knots made it nearly impossible to get comfortable. We did however get about 3 hours of sun which provided some relief.

Mapped

When I moved to Texas, the goal was to see everything! It seems as if I'm getting closer! I've been here for a little over six months and so far it's been an epic trip! I've already got about 12 nights in the tent and it's only February. :rockon:

You sir are an inspiration!!

My wife and I opened a restaurant last year so our limited vacation time has all been spent with family. I am itching for some time outdoors real bad!! Keep up the good work so we can all live vicariously through your beautiful images. If you ever have any questions about workflow and keeping it light shoot me an email! What are you using to edit?

Some output basics...

For Screen:
Color - sRGB
DPI - 72
Size - This is personal preference, I tend to go up to 1000x1000px b/c of all the smaller size/higher resolution screens now-a-days.

For Print:
Color - CMYK
DPI - 300
Size - Original

Also if your thinking about a website check out smugmug. Its quite powerful, is loaded with features and can handle all your online commerce etc...

Everything else is correct, but CMYK - only if your printing on magazine or books. Most high end photo printing shops work in sRGB or RGB 98. I prefer fuji products and use Wedding Photo Lab | Portrait Photo Lab | Press Printing | Press Books | Pro Photo Lab :: ProDPI or WHCC - White House Custom Colour for other print items.

Really need to get color profiles for anywhere. This is why I really only work in black and white, due to laziness and not wanting to recalibrate all the time.

Thanks man, I really appreciate it! I'll definitely PM you with questions! I'm very new to the world of printing especially when it comes to choosing the correct resolution.

Thanks for the info! :tea:

I find black and white difficult. I just can seem to get the images to look the way I think they should...

Where do you live in Texas?

Houston....

Luckily I don't live in the city. A lot of people ask me why I don't move closer to "everything", but I love being out in the woods or on the beach.

Great pictures! You really need to stop at the next truck stop and get yourself a shaking "hula girl" to mount on your dash.

That cliff looks fun! How's the rock quality?

I was able to do some bouldering but nothing special. It's hard to find decent routes in Texas.

This was a great camping spot though.

Finished working on an extra level of storage. It's high enough to sleep under and is strong enough to easily support 100lbs.

I'm not much of a boulderer, maybe v4 on a good day, but I hear Hueco Tanks is awesome, if you haven't already visited.

Added a pullout. I need to stop while it's still lightweight. I think it's about as useful as it's going to get because I really don't want drawers.

Ya, the girlfriend and I went and had fun. I'm starting to set my sights on Mexico. I've heard about some amazing spots just a few hours past the border.
