Dude. We need to go camping.

A few more pictures from the "Coon-Camp" outing. I'm slow, but more will come.

Sorry about the crappy link:

I like them. The image quality from those big guys (DSLRs) is defiantly noticeable.  Makes my little (broken ) guy jealous.

I especially like the lapsed-time shots of the waterfalls. Buts that probably a given. And Cody's hair is just..... dude.

[zourtney]

"just....dude" indeed Scenery shots are nice and all, but photos of people are more memorable...well, that and like pictures of 5 knives stuck into a picnic table! Has anyone else uploaded any yet?

Oh, and I apologize for any Photoshopping mishaps...

[Nick]

I sadly have not uploaded anything just yet. I really should. For the posterity, man. Think of the posterity!

I have been admiring you panoramic shots though. I am using one for my multi-monitor desktop at the moment. The one with the lake has some seriously blown out skies though. But it still looks good enough for me.  Next time we are out, it might be fun to try playing with catching some HDR panos.

[zourtney]

Which blown out sky panoramic shot? There were several; one I believe was actually from my pocket camera (which could blow out even the bluest of skies).

I tried a few HDR shots, but probably need more images and a lot more skill to do anything cool-looking with them. I do (finally) have a tripod now. That'd help a bit.

[Nick]

The one of that lake that you put into the 'coon-camping gallery. I figured that if you had done some HDR stuff with it that the sky would have been exposed better and not just the trees and lake. It still looks nice though.

[zourtney]

This one? I'm pretty sure that was with my little guy. I can check when I get home. But I remember trying (unsucessfully) to correct some nasty dark spots which were very obvious in the sky on one panoramic shot. Which is a "feature" of my little camera. It was probably that photo.

[Nick]

Yup. That's the photo I was speaking of.

[zourtney]

Yep, that one sucks. But it's big. Which is why I uploaded it

[zourtney]

Ok, enough talk of campings past (though I still have more pictures to upload). Let's talk about Tentin' 10-10-10! That is next weekend, everybody. The date is so cool, how could we not follow up last year's camping adventure with another campfest?

I guess Cody might have to work, Brad probably can't come, and we all gave tons of things to do....but we should go anyway! Yeah?

[Nick]

I will go. Even if we just end up leaving Saturday and coming back Sunday. But leaving Friday would be far better in my opinion.

[zourtney]

Agreed. Camp-camp!

[zourtney]

Nick, are you still interested in going camping this weekend? My attempts to rally fellow campers have failed, so it might just be you and me (unless I can convince Eve).

I'm still up for a quiet day or two in the woods.

[Nick]

I am up for it. If it turns out to just be the two of us, do you want to try a hike-camp to some remote(ish) lakes? Though that would only work if we had the equipment. I haven't tried my backpacking tent yet (sadly) and want to give it a shot. Its a 'two person' one, though I am not sure just how 'two person' it is yet. But Going to the RL (round lake... or 'Randomland' lake) would be cool too.
 
So, yeah. Camp camp.

[zourtney]

Hikentent sounds fun, though I'm not sure I have adequate gear for that. You should definitely try out your tent. I can bring mine, too. We could be neighbors. Or whatever. I'm just looking for some woodsness.
