Thanks for sharing the trip writeup and beautiful photos, Ian. #7 is my favorite of the bunch. The self portrait is great too.

Thanks! I came out looking for a shot just like that, and while that one was crazy hard to edit, I do like how it came out.

Do you pack the camera away in heavier rain? Or is the X-T2's weatherproofing good enough to not need that? I recall hearing the Smokey's nearly qualify as a temperate rain forest, and it certainly looks like it.

I did – only once, when I got caught in the worst rain of the trip – just didn't want to risk having it out. They certainly feel like a rainforest, especially up at that altitude! I was actually forced to shave a night off the trip because I wasn't waterproof enough.
