OK, I tagged this in the AM so I could get back to it now. As a spectator what photo equipment will I be allowed to bring into the park? Where in Baytown, is the HRP?
I'm in Monroe, La. now, but will be back in Houston friday & and would love to shot some DR stuff.-Thks

[Davidtxs]

here you go directions from Houston
From Houston
and no problem on the equipment

[lhdvies]

Thks a lot. If the weather permits, I'll be there with earplugs & something to shoot with.
I'll have the 70-200 for sure and would the 300 2.8 be sufficient or should I go with the 500 instead? (I'll have 1.4X & 2X if needed) I noticed the 2 in this thread were shot with 600 s. Since mine will be strictly for my own amateurish uses, I didn't know if all that reach was necessary . Sorry to be such a bother, but this is a 1st for me(you can tell right?)LOL. Thks again!
