Thanks Scott. It was an interesting night with interesting timing. I was sidetracked doing other stuff and almost didn’t bother to go out, but did. I saw the moon low in the sky and immediately knew where I wanted to go.

When I got there the sky was clear. The low fog slowly came in, thickened up, then was gone all in about a half hour.
Also interesting was the lens usage. The top picture was the 50mm adapted, and the bottom was the bigger zoom.

Ha, I like the interpretation, and you captured some nice light on Beau's head, which I know is tough with a black dog.

I was looking at that image of mine again last night and it has grown on me, which isn't to say that I didn't like it initially. I think the trees managed to give it some depth and a frame. I'm surprised it even worked, as it was taken handheld with the adapted lens. There was an area of tall weeds in the foreground that the tripod was too short to clear. Bringing my glasses, and the focus aids helped immensely. The adapted, and longer zoom lenses have turned out some nice results on the last two outings.

I lost one of my lens back covers over on Saturday night. I think it fell between some large rocks by the dam where I set up. New ones are on their way.

Got out for a bit this afternoon, this is a stream that runs through a wildlife preserve a short ride away.

The remains of an old log barn. You can still see the ax marks from when the logs were squared.

Thanks Dave. It is a little out of the way for most folks though. A 1/2 hour drive on pavement then 1 1/2 hour drive on a crappy backroad (25km and 3,500 ft elev.) ending with a 1 hour steep hike for the last 1,200 ft elev. So no, not a lot of tourists. Trail log book showed only 4 parties up there in the last week. Actually we consider any road you can get up a good road. LOL

A cool pic of a cool spot.
Looks straight out of a cheesy '60s Sci-Fi movie.
