Rock Rimmin in Kingston / Danville is supposed to have a nice view and good trail...it's where the cross country team from the high school trains...but I've not yet gone up there...

93% that your 'mountain cranberry' is actually wintergreen berry...edible and delicious... Also 90% that your 'rhodora' is a sheep laurel...which blooms a few weeks after rhodora and is fun to shoot!

I think this shot works well. The exposure is spot on, now hot spots or deep shadows...and nice even light. A tripod, polarizer and slightly longer exposure might make this pop a bit more... Personal preference is key for waterfalls. I try to get a shutter speed of about 1/4 second for my...

Zealand Traverse...Crazy Mutant On the hike from Zealand Road to Willey House yesterday, I hiked through many stages of the spring bloom, depending on aspect, terrain and soil. Some areas, the hobblebush was just beginning, others the lady slippers were out. Saw many species of flowers along...

Thanks to all who made the show, and who support the Observatory! I had a lot of fun sharing some pictures and experiences, and glad everyone had a good time. Patrick's slideshow was simply amazing, and his stories and knowledge of moose is quickly becoming as unparalled as his images...

The police were really out in the notch saturday and sunday. A buddy of mine got a slowmo staredown in the Glen Ellis Parking Lot, and was curious who they were after. Great to hear that they were so diligent and tracked this guy down!

Fantastic...I know that they value every member...and this is great to hear! See you there!

I'm definately down for the Moat afterwards, but like rocket, am an olde man who wants to be up early to shoot the sun. My social life prays for rain so I can stay out late ;)

This Saturday Evening, Patrick LaFreniere (forestgnome) and I will be presenting a slideshow of our images in the White Mountains at the Mount Washington Observatory's Weather Discovery Center in North Conway. The event is designed as a FREE friend-raising event for 'Club Level' Members of...

Cool Quadrillium! What I think is most interesting about it is that there is four of everything that is usually in threes on this plant. Explore the picture...it's more fascinating that it initially appears!

Congrats. Mine came the other day, and I immediately put it in the catalog pile, to be read when I want to drool. But now that I know it's a not-catalog, it'll have to sit in it's own pile. A standout among few. Truly great marketing!

Such a cool story!

I believe Grumpy is correct. The higher ISO's are an amplification of the sensitivity to light of the origional signal of the sensor. ISO 1600 should let the same amount of light in on all cameras, as there is a standard for the aperature, shutter speed and ISO that is kept fairly uniform...

That's a big day! Kudos to them! I know Greg well as he was a former intern at the Observatory, as was Salida of whom you give homage to. Great group of guys who are SERIOUS about their skiing!

Well, I just got back from a tour through Bristol, Groton and Rumney, and found lots of flowers. Violets of assorted variety, anemone and red trilliums were all in bloom, but no pictures. Clintonia was in bud already at sculptured rocks. Trout lillies were everywhere. I finally found some...

Them's swarming and biting in Pawtuckaway as of yesterday...not fun!

Looks like a great hike! Love the flower pictures that you get, these are fantastic!

Great post with lots of wow! Good to remind us of all the dangers in the ravine in spring! That footage is amazing! Glad you are okay...

Nice spot...you always find little spots that aren't that well known with great reward! Great post!

Thanks for the comments guys! DaveBear, I didn't notice, but given the activity, and how quickly the new snow was melting, I wouldn't worry about that trail being unpacked...
