it's been a nice three days, lovely in fact. great fishing, wonderful company and plenty of relaxing. too bad it has to end tomorrow :wxwax

anyhow, i wanted to share some shots with you - all in rough edit stages as i only have a laptop up here in the woods....

i was greeted with this sight when i showed up on wednesday night around 830pm

24645322-L.jpg

and then i saw this on the way to find some deer in the mist
24645314-L.jpg

found her
24645312-L.jpg

24645308-L.jpg

two views of the same spot on the south branch of the moose river...color with my 16-35L on the 1Ds Mark II. 10-stop nd filter used to gain a slow shutter.
24645326-L.jpg

and with the 10-22 ef-s onboard the infrared-modded digital rebel. 10-stop nd filter used to gain slow shutter.
24645304-L.jpg

the light's been mostly flat and hazy the whole trip. ah well, when given a bag of lemons, make lemonade, eh?
24645315-L.jpg

i gave my 100mm macro a bit of a workout, too....

24645317-L.jpg

another little stream, 1Ds Mark II with 16-35L and 10-stop nd filter
24645329-L.jpg

the loons are wonderful this time of year.
24647110-L.jpg

the fishing's been great this year - some of the best fishing in nearly 40 years, i wonder if it's becuase i switched bait :lol3

enjoy (fishing) photography,
Andy

    Me, too, my favorite!

    (Andy, maybe you can go back when the light is more conducive to shooting......instead of lemonade:D )

    I am glad you are enjoying! And didn't destroy the camera while catching fish. I like the laptop processing fine. Please send laptop. Soonest would be nice.

    (There is an element of "difference", not the PS mode, the way I see your photos as having been worked up. Somewhat reminiscent of Dixie. Do you have any thoughts on your post work to share)

    Otherwise keep enjoying, try not to let the "weather" get to you. Will be glad to "see" you when it is all over.

    15524779-Ti.gif I've always had a hard time with this kind of shot. This captures the mountain stream feel very nicely. Makes me want to go dip my feet in.

    Fascinating how a composition can look blah with some lighting and stunning with other. This one rocks, Andy.

    24645304-S.jpg

    Like the others, I really like this one.

    24645329-S.jpg

    And the Loon shot is very cool.

    I lost my scorecard about the time you re-acquired the DsmkII. What long lens did you have with you?

    enjoy (fishing) photography,
    I'm picking these 3 as my favorites. As much as I like IR pics, the stream pic
    has to be in color. Great job.

    Figured it was up there. I spent my summers with my family on Indian Lake, and then summer camp up near St. Regis in the high peaks, backpacking. My parents later got a place on Lake Abanakee, in the town of Indian Lake. But they got too bored after 10 years in a county with 3 residents per square mile and not a single traffic signal. I have a deep, abiding love of the Adirondack State Park.

    And, I'm jealous.

    yep, i take the scenic route up there, and go thru indian lake :D it's just lovely. my first introduction was on a boy scout trip, canoeing from blue mountain lake to raquette lake. what a gem of a park. i know exactly what you mean, though, about the population :uhoh

    I'm a bit late posting to this thread coz I just got home, but I wanted to add my admiration. Really Lovely Shots!!!

    My fav is the 1st, but I also like all the slow stream shots - nice technique! I like the fly too, but I have strange tastes...

    Wow, and almost missed this one!!!

    Andy I think the first series of photos I saw of yours was a similar trip, maybe last summer? I've been impressed ever since, and these are no exception. You captured the essence of your love of the outdoors. thumb.gif

    I was waiting for Cherry Ripes
    to be a participant!

    I kept my empty package too! :D

    I love the one of the deer eating -- can count the eyelashes!

    The others are great too, the light was kind of nice in a way. I never got to spend a lot of time in the "mountains" "upstate" but it was a nice difference from suburbia and northern New Jersey. I remember when you went on a similar trip last year.

    Hope you enjoyed your time away from civilization.

    How many fish did you catch, and how come no "food" piccies!????
