I got peppermint flavored tape from Agfa, which is I suppose, one of the reason they went under. My Swedish assistant mostly licked the rolls coming out of RZ 220 backs, but what she did with her tongue was amazing. In Twin Peaks, Lara Flynn Boyle was reputed to be able to tie a cherry stem into a knot in her mouth, but the Swedish assistant learned how to do it and made so much at parties by winning bets that she quit assisting. She was non-union.

I licked 60+ some odd roles on a shoot as an assistant. You don't really keep track until you tongue is green and you get sick.   Then you start to wonder if you are going to have cancer later on.   I used a sponge after that always.

Well of course the shots will be handheld. We all have no effing idea what shutter speed an iPhone uses but the pictures are so sharp on that little screen that the shots are begging to be taken. I spoke to a photographer a few weeks ago who shot a whole book of landscapes and NEVER used a tripod. How did they look? Great, but then it was a tiny 3x5" book.

I won’t walk into the mountains with an armload of equipment either as I am a firm believer in the Weston Rule: Anything more than 500 yards from the car can’t be photogenic.

One other thought to consider. If you want dependability in adverse conditions, or extreme uses, "pro" level cameras stand the better chance your whole trip deep into Yellowstone with meet with success. Yes your cell phone may also make the trip.... plus, do you intend on hand holding all of your shots??
