Photography is still a hobby for me but I love representing my travels in writing and images. I think it is an effective way to connect with other climbers that have shared similar experiences you are trying to elucidate through an image. I carry the Panasonic GF1 Micro Four Thirds Camera and 20mm Pancake Kit lense. I love the portability and manual control over the camera, perfect for rock/ice/alpine in my opinion. It tends to get in the way every now and then makes me wish for a slim point and shoot waterproof camera. I swear by Mountainsmith's Soft cases for transporting the camera. I have yet to buy a Pelican case but imagine I will for a longer trip with more exposure. Here's a sample image from the GF1 (there are much newer and much better versions of this camera now). I attach it to the binocular clips on my alpine pack with small carabiners for easy removal. It doesn't bounce around at all and is always slung around my neck to get a shot whenever I have a hand. I shoot in .raw and have great control over the finished product. Not a bad camera for some of the environments I have taken it in!

Skyladder, Mount Andromeda Descending the Lowe Route, Sphinx, Montana Sunshine, Snowpatch Spire, Bugaboos These were shot with one of two beat up old 20Ds. Lens is 17-40 F4L. Autofocus doesn't work on this lens anymore, but that's not really an issue with a lens this wide. I almost lost the Skyladder image. I had bumped the dial climbing and ended up several stops overexposed. The Jpeg was solid white. Fortunately, I was able to pull enough data from the RAW file to put an image together. When I bought my cameras, there wasn't a lighter alternative with satisfactory quality, durability, and handling. That said, I can't see myself buying another SLR. The mirrorless genre combines excellent optics and handling into a camera system less than half the weight of mine. Some are quite well built, too. Edited to add: I don't carry a camera case, nor do use any filters in front of my lens. I simply put the camera in my pack for transport and over my shoulder when there's a chance of getting the shot. My kit does take a lot of cosmetic damage (scratches, small dents), but nothing that affects the quality of my photography. The glass is still pristine despite my hatred of lens caps and filters because the hood takes all of the rock bashing. I consider a lens hood to be pretty much a requirement, it protects the lens AND improves image quality. A filter usually creates negative optical characteristics and at best does nothing for the photo.

All of these were taken with a Panasonic GH4 14-140mm f/3.5-5.8 1) Phil Magistro on Annunaki 2) Phil Binnema on Flight Time 3) Nothing stands out, so let's go with fun: Disa Kohlstrom on Beer Bong

Question for everyone, I'm looking to start getting different angles for some climbs. When your out do you tie off on a seperate route, anchor of and shoot or is it easier to simultaneously find a "good" spot to stop and shoot? I find the best moments are unplanned but are harder to capture, but for safety reasons i tend to hold back while climbing. Any tips on how to secure gear while on a climb and safe?

Here's my all time favorites...probably. The first two are already uploaded to this site. I got the first one published several years ago in Rock & Ice. Shot on either a Canon 40D or a 1Ds II, likely with a 17-40L or 70-200L II f2.8IS. Click on them for full size views.
