This is my first post here-been lurking for a few months since opening a smugmug account. Incredible wealth of information and talent, and I love the cordial atmosphere. I am admittedly a complete novice- but hungry to learn.
Karrie McD's stunning pictures in a recent thread prompted me to share some of my pictures from a kayaking trip to the South Manitou Island 2 weeks ago.

I too love this beautiful state. :barb

    Welcome to Dgrin, Joa! What a beautiful series you have shared with us. Between you and Karrie, I'm sure we'll see plenty of Michigan beauty!

    All the images are beautiful, but I absolutely love the color palate and smoothness of the last shot. Wow! The footprints in the sand are a nice touch. clap.gif
    Shoot in RAW because memory is cheap but memories are priceless.

    OOPS! I forgot to add my name- I'm trying to configure my profile yet.
    My name is Joash and I work as a pediatrician out in Grand Rapids.
    Mahesh- your work is definitely a huge source of inspiration.

    I did not have a tripod for that last shot- too heavy to haul in the kayak ne_nau.gif - but there was this perfectly convenient post in the sand, so I placed the D90 on it and I tried to compose as best as I could. 18-200 Nikon lens. Hand-held 2 stop ND grad.

    Thanks for the kind words. Hopefully I'll be able to post some pictures every now and then.

    BTW I was born in hill station close to the Indo-Nepalese border, the province now known as Uttrakhand.

    cheers

    Whoah I just ADORE the shot of the abandoned (?) boat behind the seagull. It's got color, subject, light, everything. Thanks for sharing and I certainly hope this is the end to your lurking days. :D
