- This was a 2-day backpacking trip to Spectacle Lake in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness. I first came across this lake when I sectioned hiked the PCT a few years ago. I knew then I wanted to come back to spend more than just a couple hours exploring this area . Even just two days to experience the evergreens, wildflowers, flowing rivers and waterfalls, and of course the lakes is enough to refresh the spirit.
Film Gear used:
Sony ZV-E1 Body
Sony 16-35 F4 PZ Lens
PolarPro PK Variable ND Filter 2-5 stop
Aoka 28.1 Tripod
So well taken and compiled. No skipping forward in your videos.
Thanks @99jkane for this comment, much appreciated. I've got several more edits to do in the coming months from trips this year. Cheers!
This place is magnificent! Watching this just makes me feel good! Outstanding solo adventure my friend!
Thanks my friend, glad you enjoyed it. Cheers!
Excellent video. Wonderful Composition. I don't mean to presume, but it is inspiring to see other middle-aged men creating hiking films. Sometimes I think that the "Young and Beautiful" have too much of a lock on an avocation that Thoreau and Muir originally made accessible for all of us.
Thanks @alwayshiking_ for the comment. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
I always thought that was a spectacular looking lake every since the Springs and Harvey Manning introduced it to me in their book. You did a nice job of capturing it and putting it to music. Very enjoyable video - as are all of them you do.
Thanks @Olympic_TryAthlete for the comment. That is such a good book. I refer to it often. Cheers!
I love your videos. You appear to have moved on from the MLD solomid XL. What are your thoughts. j
I actually still have the Solomid XL. I'm trying out the X-Mid Pro 1 this year to see if it will displace the Solomid. Both are great shelters. The Solomid because of its shape is going to be better in wind/storms. The two separate pieces make it a little more versatile. The Xmid Pro1 has a bit more space inside, is very light and packable. I'm going to put out another video where I go over an updated gear list and the reasons why I'm using a particular pice of gear. Cheers!
How were the bugs? I hiked this in early July and the mosquitos were brutal
They weren't bad at all. There was a pretty good breeze that afternoon at the lake so I'm sure that played a role. I did an overnight in July at another lake (need to edit that video) in the Alpine Lakes and the bugs there were very bad.
