“I was driving home Monday evening about 4:30, just minding my own business when all of a sudden this jumped out at me and I had to shoot it. Granted it isn't in the backcountry or anything cool like that, but since I just purchased a digital camera I had to get some practice.

Oh yeah, off in the distance is the Sierra Nevada, but it is obscured by the ever-present Central Valley haze.

“Very nice.”

“Nice picture. That is one thing I like about digital cameras. You can take lots of practice shots without having to pay to get the film developed.”

“Thanks.

Ewker, that is a concept that I'm tring to learn. I'm so used to using film sparingly because of costs that I have to remember that it doesn't matter anymore!”

“Ooh, lovely!”

“Yep, snap away. For every 20 that I post on webshots I probably have 80 more from the same trip that I just store on the office server.”

“dayhiker, sometimes I find it to hard to pick out the best shots so I usually post them all..lol.

Hikin Mike, aren't you going on the Sierra trip in July. I already know I will have a gazillion pics from that trip. I bought another spare battery just to make sure I don't run out. I may have to buy another card also.”

“I try to filter them because I figure folks would rather go through 20 than 90. If there are 90 pics in an album then I usually don't even look.”

“I agree but what my not appeal to you may appeal to someone else. It is a fine line on how many to post.”

“Nice balance of lines.
I'm the same with taking every possibly good shot then putting my favorites on Webshots, but I'll look at 90 photos albums if it's an area I want to know about.”

“Thanks wannabp!

Ewker, I had originally signed up for the trip in hopes that my Lyme Disease would have been a thing of the past. After taking a short/easy hike (~100 yards) with Wind Walker on Sunday I realised I'm not ready for hiking long distances yet.

Maybe next year.”
