shots worth sharing Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 <p>Very nice photos so far! I like that heron shot a lot Doug--the ripple reflection on the bird is neat!<br> Mostly I've been shooting field hockey lately. My Sigma 100-300/4 is having focus issues (I need to send it in for repair) so I've been using the 70-200/2.8.<br> <img src="http://dadipentak.smugmug.com/photos/i-tV8JN4B/0/XL/i-tV8JN4B-XL.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="720" /></p> <p> <img src="http://dadipentak.smugmug.com/photos/i-HhqKXL4/0/XL/i-HhqKXL4-XL.jpg" alt="" /></p> <p><img src="http://dadipentak.smugmug.com/photos/i-d2QL4Cg/0/XL/i-d2QL4Cg-XL.jpg" alt="" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_marz Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 <p>Thanks everyone for the comments over the last couple of weeks on my photos from Colorado. As Matt can tell you, it's a special place with incredible outdoor and photographic opportunities.</p> <p>Well, back to reality. There are a lot of people who say if you can hike or fish in the Adirondacks, you can hike or fish anywhere. I have truly found that to be true. My wife and I have only been hiking and fishing out west the past 5 summers. Being an eastern flatlander of sorts with 5,000 foot altitude peaks, going west to 13 ers can present a challenge. That being said, the wide open views, trails, etc are so much more psycologically pleasing that it does seem a helluva lot easier than back home.<br> Case in point was this first hike back home on the trails where I cut my teeth, the Adirondacks of northern New York.<br> My hiking partners had three choices and left it up to me. One I had done before, one seemed a bit steep on slippery rock surface, and the last I had also done before but from the easiest route. We were to take the "scenic" route. The uh, 13.8 mile scenic route to Sawteeth Mountain.<br> Needless to say, it went well, but seemed way more grueling than any of the 85 miles of Colorado Hiking.<br> #1 One of the scenic overlooks along the trail: Upper Ausable Lake</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_marz Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 <p>So, after about 6 hours we reached the summit to an open view of the "Great Range". This range includes Mt Marcy the tallest peak in New York.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob_marz Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 <p>After dropping down from the summit there is a little view of Rainbow Falls and then only 4 more miles or so to the car.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattB.Net Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 <p>Nice job everyone.<br> Bruce - the spiral staircase shot is a nice one. I'm always a fan of a well done one. <br />Yury - I like the ocncept of the wide shot but I think if the light were on the child it could be better.<br />Douglas - nice heron reflection!<br />Dave - that action was well captured. Nice job!<br />Bob - the waterfall is my fave of this series. Nicely done, especially being hand held.<br />Howard - I like the sailboats on the river</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattB.Net Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 <p>Oh, Patrick, I like that butterfly shot. Good mix of stationary and moving subjects. I might crop it a little closer.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
