The road is plowed. Have snow tires, will travel just like any other road in the Adirondacks.

Qustion about the proposed sytem: If I were to click on New Posts would ALL new posts come up for both regions? Personally, at first when I joined here I thought I'd like two sections. But once I learned about the New Posts button for 50 weeks out of the year it dosen't matter because I just...

Hmmm... maybe not. Two years ago they were in the clearance store in Ellsworth for $1.99. I couldn't figure out what they were at the time and later regretted not picking one up for summer just to give a little more comfort .

definitely # 2 I'm a big fan of "action" shots for birds. Standard shots are for field guides. Action shots capture that "ah" moment your mind remembers. I never tire of your bird shots. Keep them coming!

Darren, I really don't know how you break into bird phtogoraphy other than it's a tough field to sell. Talk to Jeff Nadler. Jeff does amazing work, has a fantastic slide show he takes around and recently had the cover photo of Adirondack Life magazine. He's very personable and I'm sure will...

OK, since I'm supposed to be critiquing all I can ask for is a horizontal format to see more of the icy rocks. What I'm really doing is counting out six months until I'm back on the coast of Maine! And yes, the seasmoke one was a good one too. Interesting how you commented you were all packed...

I carry several chunks of an old blue closed cell pad in my pack during the winter. I use it anytime I sit down during a break. I'ts pretty amazing how much heat we can lose through our butt and mine is quite well insulated. :o And through our feet. I remember being told by a ranger that you...

Those are beech trees and the bears are climbing them to get to the beech nuts (mast) in the fall. They climb the tree, find a nice spot and pull in the branches that have nuts on them, usually cracking the branches so they end up staying in. And then we call them bear's nests. Sort of like a...

Anza-Borrego desert state park Spring wildflowers are amazing. April may be past peak though. Maybe ask your brother. It's not a kiddie thing, but it sure is a good Mommy Daddy thing.

Wow! Do you have to have the real expensive level of photoshop to do that?

I use the small pint size stainless thermos. It's a luxury in weight but worth it when that warm cocoa hits you.

Great information! Exactly what I was looking for- an introductory method to get started. Using them by hand on hikes I'll probably sooner or later (likely sooner) mess one up so I didn't want to mortgage the house for filters. This is going to be a lot of fun to try! The DSLR has to wait...

I went to a couple of sites to look at these filters and I must admit to being "in the dark" so to speak. I don't know if there's a solution for me but I"ll ask. Right now I only have the digital point and shoot and a Minolta film which doesn't get much use anymore (sound familiar?). So I'd...

In the first shot ther's an awful lot of grass and sky. Now the sky is pretty interesting, so that' s not really bad, but grass is boring. As I look at it I'm wondering if you had moved more to the left, and shot more to the right would you have picked up the rock closer to the left...

I almost always change the ISO to a lower setting (now that my new point and shoot actually has that capability!). Hugely important when I was in Maine on the coast with all that gorgeous bright sun, ocean and pale granite. Keep it handy. The biggest advantage of a P&S is the ability to keep...

Ok, that IS is pretty amazing! (Oh yeah, I'd like to spend a week at those vacation houses in the woods :) ) the wrought iron railings on the carousel are so clear and that last shot at 1/3 second... You can't even see the guy, and the car is clear as a bell! Just five years ago I bought...

Darren (or others)- In your experience does Image stabilization really work?

Diane, I sent you the Irfanview instructions etc last year. If I still have your email address I'll send it again. Can't wait to see! edit: found your email from last year and sent the link and directions

I put a few in a link to Kodak Gallery. These were scanned with the cheap HP scanner. The problem is when you try to print you gets so much "dust" and quality really degrades. One from 1991 at the lean-to and the moose from 1976 at Baxter. Amazing how the slides have retained their color. I...

Neil's shot brings up a question that I've thought of before. First of all I only carry my digital point and shoot in the Adirondacks. The last time I took my 35 mm over the Great Range, I said "never again". I know there are graduated(and reverse graduated) "gray" filters that can be used to...
