Hide, Irvine, CA USA asks:
Hi, Scott
I have been enjoying your pictures taken during your voyage, and I think quality of pictures is great. Do you use D-SLR to take those pictures ? If that is the case, do you mind what you use ?

Scott Flanders from Egret responds:
Hide, Egret's original pictures (for the past year +) were taken with a D50 Nikon D-SLR with two lenses, 18-55mm and 55-200mm. We are currently using a D80 Nikon with a soon to arrive 18-200mm VRII Nikon lense (VR - vibration reduced) and an 80-400VR Nikon lense. We shoot at full resolution (JPEG Fine 3872 X 2592 pixels) What you see on the internet is reduced to 425 pixels in order to send them via the Iridium satellite phone. You should see the pictures in full resolution!!
