Probably the last photos I'll post from Hocking Hills State Park.

Some great shots there Larry. Love the pano and the second "crevice".

On another note: how long was the trip off of that mushroom? I haven't had shrooms in years, but that one looked mighty tasty:Drogar-Love(DBG)::Drogar-Smoke(DBG):
 
Thanks Ryan ... Most of those Hocking Hills photos were quite a challenge with so much bright sunlight and all the hard shadows in the rocks. It is a very heavily wooded area with, obviously, a lot of big rocks and caves. I'm trying to stretch my abilities here to learn.

I have no idea if that 'shroom is edible for any reason.

Nice shots Larry, The first one I think would look very good at dusk or twilight especially if the lights were on, i get tingles just thinking about it. not to downplay your excellent take on it, I just think it could be a total knockout if the lighting was right...Nice job:)
 
I just wanted to make sure all of you Sony Alpha (A700) users were aware of the v.4 firmware update that is now available. It does some very nice things for anything auto with flash as well as it allows turning off noise reduction in the 3200 and 6400 ISO ranges (was auto on with them). Also the choice to select auto exposure bracketing with 3 shots in 2 EV steps instead of just .3, .5 and .7; has been added.

Larry, wondering where all the users of this fine piece of equipment are hiding

:)
 
This deer was about 80ish feet from me this afternoon in a marsh adjacent to Lake Erie. I thought the shutter sound would scare him away but instead it just stayed there.

There is a boardwalk through the marsh area of Maumee Bay State Park adjacent to Lake Erie. This is a shot looking down a short section of it.

I merged 5 photos from wildlife lookout tower in the marsh looking out over Lake Erie.

p.s. Hey Dan, I'll fix the one where the seam is visible but I figured out why it's there even though I don't understand why it's there. I merged those two photos in their RAW format. Since then I've done merges as I've always done before from jpg's. They don't have the seam showing. Anyone know what's up with that?
 
My 9 year old grandson throwing a snowball at me last evening. It was way too cold to pack so it just turned into powder after it left his hand.
