Very nice images boB.
So tell me why you bought that 1Ds Mark III Canon? These are better
than anything that you have yet produced with the Canon - oh yeah...
you haven't yet produced anything with your Canon! Hells bells...you
should sell it! These M8 images are GREAT!

I'm spending a couple of weeks with my family up at Lake Tahoe, CA.
Yesterday we went for a walk on the Rubicon Trail. This isn't the
one made famous by off road enthusiasts, but a 4 - 5 mile trail
along the west shore of the lake from D L Bliss State Park to
Emerald Bay, then up to the road. We parked a car at either end as
the walk would double if we didn't.
I found it to be one of the most beautiful walks at the Lake I've
ever taken. And there were clouds which, in my opinion, really
enhanced the images. I debated carrying the 40lb larger format gear
(a new Canon outfit to replace my Hassy's :-( ), but opted for the
Leica outfit. Glad I did as I'm not a decathalete like many on this
list (Doug!). All images were taken with a 21mm except the stream
(50mm) and the last image at the top of Emerald Bay (35mm).
I'm working on my daughter's uncalibrated laptop here, so I'm not
sure if I got the contrast and brightness/exposures right on. A
couple I'll end up printing when I get home, and will work my
calibrated setup of course.
Used Lightroom 2 for the first time. Just blown away by many of the
new features. The local dodge/burn and graduated filter tool are
simply wonderful. On many of the images where the sky looked blown,
I used the graduated filter tool and they appeared like magic!! Now
the only filter I'll carry is my polarizer and a ND filter for when
I need to slow things down.
Hope you enjoy. C&C always looked forward to and appreciated,
