I have not participated for a while, but I do stop by occasionally to see what's happening. When I saw this MA topic I had to chuckle -- for once I was going to be in the right place at the right time! Over the last several years we planned a once-in-a-lifetime vacation in the Canadian Rockies, and this was the month. Ten days, seven gigabytes, so very much sorting and processing to do. This was taken at Herbert Lake, in Banff Canadian National Park.
Beautiful, Cal. The Rockies? Wow!! And ONLY 7GB What restraint! :-) I'm taking 18GB of cards to NY to photograph my new granddaughter, a butterfly conservatory, and a koi pond and I'm actually concerned I might run out of cards. ha
Bev, thank you! When we are on vacation, "restraint" comes from the need to be considerate of my wife! Setting up the tripod and filters and composing just one potential fine-art photograph can consume an hour or two, and I have to be pleased if I can come home with a couple of dozen of these. In order to have a life, the rest of the time (particularly when hiking 10-12K with 1K elevation changes as we did several times on this trip) I lock the tripod and camera bag in the trunk of the car and sling the camera on my shoulder with the 24-70 f/2.8L (plenty of load in itself) and just take snapshots.
