The noise is astounding, but you can't hear it at all if you're 20 yards or so away - the forest muffles everything. <br /><br />I can see why Europeans were so intimidated by that place when they first got there.Aunt Messyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07424781871244170075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5554416132312183522.post-68831007741655083632010-03-13T17:51:02.453-06:002010-03-13T17:51:02.453-06:00Oh Messy, I love those pics!

I've walked in it but haven't seen it the way you do. <br /><br />The way you captured that crashing wave is magnificent.<br /><br />On top of that it sounds like you had a great vacation!Katihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05645682203535768013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5554416132312183522.post-23828983564237356492010-03-13T08:46:15.007-06:002010-03-13T08:46:15.007-06:00Thanks!

Generally I try and brace myself - knee to stump/elbow on knee, but if I'd done that I'd have ended up sinking up to my eyeballs in all the moss. <br /><br />I just HAD to use a flash on the bottom shot. The Boy contended that I should have gone for the gloomy/scary thing, but the trees were so pretty I couldn't resist. <br /><br />Time to shop for monopods... I wonder if they go on sale.Aunt Messyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07424781871244170075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5554416132312183522.post-69098416549358660892010-03-13T08:30:46.134-06:002010-03-13T08:30:46.134-06:00Welcome back! Wait: you were gone?
Dang, Messy -...Welcome back! Wait: you were gone?<br /><br />Dang, Messy - you have a great eye. A little dark in the woods, though - are you open to a recommendation? The camera shake that causes the blur is inevitable, even with a fast lens like you have on your G10. When I vacation I think about vacationing first and photography is like tenth or fifteenth on my list, but a place like Vancouver Island begs for it. I would carry a monopod. Not a whole tripod, unless you want to buy a $500 compact 4 section carbon fiber unit (um, no thanks, for me), just a single leg. You can brace and shoot down to 1/10 or even slower if you're careful, and increase your depth of field too, and get more detail in the shot without blur.<br /><br />You have such a good eye for composition!Schuyler =^oo^=https://www.blogger.com/profile/05022527448487356922noreply@blogger.com
