I always wondered what type of equipment is used. I just know I get photos that have resolutions of upward of 23000+ x 17000+ at like 1400 dpi and are 400+ MB .tif images and I love them because it makes my job so much easier.

...or your ability to scan the hair of a gnats' a**, and look at the thickness in multiple layers...
Are there any hiking trails leading to the hills above the parking lots? I'm sure with the right lenses, we could get some really fantastic shots.

How about we disconnect the brakes and air bags on a cocky n3wbs car?
When he flys off the cliff and gets air lifted the photographer hops in the chopper and snaps our BAIC Mt. Hami snap shot?
OK, so maybe I am being a little harsh. we can leave the air bags connected.
