The duct tape has always held up very well, and I haven't had any of the problems you mention. I like the idea that it isn't as reflective as the black duct tape, but after one day in the field I'll have enough dirt and dust on the tape that I think reflections will not be a problem. Have a great time at the sand dunes. Best, Adam Hi Sam,

It doesn't leave residue, get gummy, shred like duct tape and looks cool with the flat blackness of it. Off to the sand dunes today for some pics.

I've developed most of the images, but I intend to sit on them for a few more weeks and then I will go back and make the final cut. Often, an image that I initially like may not do anything for me when I review it again several weeks later. The reverse is also true. After a second (or even a third) review I may discover an image that upon first glance didn't move me. Best, Adam The Big Bend project is coming along just fine.
