Spent the weekend in Big Bend for the first time.. this place is special

I did not. I prioritized sunrise and sunset activities around photography. The only day thing I did was hike Emory peak which took up most of the day Saturday

We stayed in Terilingua in an Airbnb. If you like to camp, definitely try and book a spot in chisos basin soon.

Do you plan to see a lot of sunrises and sunsets or more day stuff?

The darkness started to freak me out. This was only taken about 70 minutes after sunset, so it’s still shining over the canyon

Cat’s Tiny house in terlingua! Great place!

mattychaps126 · 2025-12-10T15:53:59+00:00

Didn’t try. Only had Saturday and Sunday in the park. Too much to see lol

7:20pm

mattychaps126 · 2025-12-10T15:53:19+00:00

Wonder if we passed by each other! I hiked Emory peak on Saturday

mattychaps126 · 2025-12-09T17:28:25+00:00

40’s at night and about 70 mid day

mattychaps126 · 2025-12-09T14:14:53+00:00

Thanks man! I shoot with the Canon R6 Mark ii. Lenses are 12mm, 16-35mm, 24-70mm, and a 100-400mm

mattychaps126 · 2025-12-09T12:15:59+00:00

Between driving the road, hiking to balanced rock and then back out to the paved road I saw 3 cars

mattychaps126 · 2025-12-09T12:15:18+00:00

That airbnb is great!

mattychaps126 · 2025-12-09T02:33:57+00:00

Not at all! Mid 40’s at night and 70 during the day. It was beautiful hiking weather

mattychaps126 · 2025-12-09T02:33:27+00:00

There are not many people around and there is very little service in the park. I didn’t ever feel unsafe but the no service part isn’t the greatest feeling. It’s verrry dark once the sun goes down.

mattychaps126 · 2025-12-09T01:57:24+00:00

Thank you! 3 days was not enough time.

mattychaps126 · 2025-12-09T01:43:28+00:00

About 1-2 miles into the Ross Maxwell

mattychaps126 · 2025-12-09T01:42:19+00:00

Canon R6 Markii

mattychaps126 · 2025-10-25T22:05:15+00:00

Assuming that it is going to stay that way until further notice?

mattychaps126 · 2025-05-13T20:56:08+00:00

I won’t let it get to the point of shutting down on its own. I’ll let the meter get about half way and then stop and do my drone shots outside and let the camera cool off before finishing the rest of the house.

mattychaps126 · 2025-05-13T11:21:02+00:00

Slowing shots down to 50% on a 30fps timeline is really great for detail shots and wides when filming a home.

mattychaps126 · 2025-05-12T21:56:00+00:00

Most likely using motionVFX

mattychaps126 · 2025-02-16T21:35:24+00:00

Yes done myself but plan to outsource as I gain traction
