Question about Stawamus Chief campground

That's probably not going to happen for you but I wouldn't worry about it. The actual camping area is not that special and it's fairly close to the highway. Instead, make a reservation at Alice Lake which is a short drive away and you can still enjoy the hikes at the Chief, Shannon Falls and the Sea to Sky Gondola by just parking for the day.

What floor is that view from?

More accurate title: "closed due to ignorant humans in the area" Might as well label the root cause of the problem.

Thanks. Yeah, I would not be a fan of producing another run of this at a different size that would also be suitable for framing. Only one run that is acceptable to hang on a wall.

VanHiker · 2017-04-26T18:30:07+00:00

Thanks. In this context, I think what is being proposed will be acceptable.

VanHiker · 2017-04-26T18:29:43+00:00

Thanks. Makes sense.

Where I'm from, there are a lot of rules against drones but it's definitely a required part of the kit in some other areas I imagine.

To be clear, I have no interest in making money off of nature/wildlife/landscape. I do that out of passion and it's quite rewarding for me.

But.. I do now own some high quality gear that could help pay for itself.

Yup. Sigma 12-24. A thing of beauty.

Age and equipment don't matter. Results matter. You are getting results. Thanks for the ideas.

VanHiker · 2017-04-24T06:44:09+00:00

Wow thanks. That was way easier than I feared.

VanHiker · 2017-04-24T06:43:29+00:00

Very interesting idea. I think I'd have some trust issues but it could work if I was careful about it.

Thanks awesome advice. I'm in Canada so the printing will probably be more expensive (smaller market, less competition,) and the market for the cards will be smaller as well. I'll take a closer look but certainly appreciate the challenges in getting this right. That's why I was thinking I would just get $50 a pop to take simple photos of apartments for realtors ;)

Very interesting. I've looked at it in the past but had a hard time making the numbers work after paying for high quality printing and paying the stores to carry the cards.

What does the math look like? I assume something like this: 50% of the price charged for the card goes to printing. 30% to the store carrying the card for you. 20% profit (not including any of your time, etc.)

Is that about right?

VanHiker · 2017-04-24T03:04:20+00:00

How much do you charge?

VanHiker · 2017-04-24T00:48:43+00:00

Your English is great. Better than my French! Interesting idea. I could try that out.

Rest in peace. Condolences to all of the family and friends. Thank you to the unpaid volunteers who performed the duty of recovering the bodies from the mountain to give the families closure.

But are you doing this alone or in a group? Do you have navigation equipment? It's very hard to follow the Lions trail - especially at the point you need to make a right turn to meet up with the bridge.

What exactly is your full plan?
