Very nice indeed! What are the exposure values?
Very nice indeed! What are the exposure values?
Thanks Bob, Jayson, and Steph. Always fun to get out and hike a little.
Steph, I edited the post to include exposure settings. On the first, I probably should have used the 6 stop ND and stopped down. But it started off brighter and as I was shooting clouds rolled in, it got dark so I quickly tried to adjust, dropping down to f/5.6. The posted shot was the last one I could get before the rain.

Brant - Your waterfalls just keep getting better. One question... why ISO 800 on the first one? It turned out good, but I was wondering why not go ISO 100 and less ND? In any case it turned out really nice.
HDNitehawk - Those are big eyes, and rabits around here do not have ears that big. Really nice detail.

Rick...good set. Really like 1&2.
Lisa..good captures on the wildlife....
Pat, first off, thanks. The reasons for ISO 800 were actually time and weather. When I first checked the exposure of the scene, I needed the 10 stop filter for a 30 sec exposure at ~ ISO 200 (which is hardly distinguishable to ISO 100, IMO). But, darker clouds moved in as I finished setting up and the first two shots were too dark. Rain start to fall during the second shot, so I bumped to ISO 800 and got the 3rd shot. By the time I got the camera back in the bag it was pouring rain.
So, if the rain hadn't started to fall in the second, I may have adjusted to the 6-stop ND. But I had little time and it was faster to adjust ISO. I do know what you are saying as noise starts to creep in pretty quick on the 7D, especially compared to the new models. There was noise in the shot that I smoothed out in post.
Thanks for the explination. Your shot looks good and clean, and I wanted to make sure I was not missing some great waterfall trick that I was not aware of. I hate getting my 7D up to ISO 400, and seldom get to 800 (how I wish for a 5D). I agree with you regarding the difference between ISO 100 and 200.

Seeing a Mourning Cloak in my garden is rare! Looks like this one has seen some wear on his migration journey ...

Denise, I missed the butterfly shots, sorry so late. All are great shots, But I really like the last one. Those frames are starting to grow on me and the one you chose for that last shot really adds to an already great photo.
