![Gold Star Critiquer/Gold Star Workshop Editor/Gold Note Writer [C: 336 W: 149 N: 745]](http://i1.treknature.com/misc/g-g-g.gif) (3304) | I'm just back from our annual family trip to Glacier National Park. This is a shot from the Swiftcurrent nature trail that circles the lake near the Many Glacier Hotel. The main peak in the background is Swiftcurrent mountain. I am still trying to play with fg with this UWA lens, in this case the reeds in the lake.
As I was packing I could only find one battery, so I stuffed that in my camera case. For some reason I didn't think to pack my charger. But after shooting some flash-filled shots of the kids I noticed the battery was almost drained, and I had 2 fulls days of vacation left! So I immediately turned off my LCD. Then each time the battery pooped out, I would take the battery out of the camera, and warm it my hand to get a couple more shots. Somehow I managed to nurse it through 2 days like that. (Just in case you ever find yourself in similar circumstances). But I ended up with a couple really stupid exposure settings, like after taking an evening shot, I left the ISO at 800. I usally review those after every shot.
PP: A contrast adjustment, a slight rotation (to level the horizon), a resize, frame, and USM. |
