A couple of days ago, I went for a bike ride up Love Creek, a couple of miles from my house. Back in January of 1982, it was the scene of a fatal mudslide: http://mindwrecker.blogspot.com/2009/02/ben-lomond-ca-love-creek-mudslide.html
I hadn't been up there in ages, and one of the things I found was a little monument to a couple of young boys that perished in the slide: http://www.examiner.com/x-46441-Santa-Cruz-Mountains-Examiner~y2010m4d28-If-the-mountains-could-speak-Love-Creek-tragedy-leaves-legacy-of-love I got a few decent photos of the creek and the monument, and a couple of blurry shots of some deer that I came across on my ride home: http://www.flickriver.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157624419996154/ comments on them are welcome, but this post is more about the interesting story than the photos. I think that this is probably my best photo of the set, even if it doesn't show all of the context: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/4760540179/ When I was processing my photos, I was surprised to see how sharp this shot at 1/2 second turned out, considering that I had neither tripod nor monopod. http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/4760536751/ It's truly amazing what image stabilization can do. Here's a 100% crop of a section of the creek bed: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/4760537023/ Shot with the 18-250 at 18mm, wide open at ISO 200 on the K-x. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
