it's a ridiculously beautiful place. this was on the quinault/enchanted valley trail



zoom in to see an elk(?) crossing the river [background, left side of water]. i had my nice camera but the hike in was sub-40s rain and my hands were wet and numb so i didn't bother using it. got in the tent at 6p and stayed there until sunrise. woke to ice on tent, and perfect dry conditions for the hike out :allears:

nice. did you go by yourself?

it’s a minutes walk to the beach and the beach is super nice and flat so it’s very good for playing in the surf with kiddos

do meat juices count under waterary?

only if you drink them. if you have them with a spoon it’s fine

lil bit of a dump here

went for a bit of a drive. I don't really think any of these photos are particularly good but eh maybe the countryside is a bit different to what you're used to so might be interesting nonetheless

interesting. word on the street is that nz is very good for outdoors because we have a lot of state run huts all over the place, at least a lot compared
to australia. but who knows how it compares to the north america

tbh the biggest way that nz scenery tends to be different to north american isn’t like that ours is better or whatever but just there is a huge variety in a very small set of islands.

it amazed me when we drove thru the us where you’d have like a kind of scenery but it’d last for hours and hours rather than changing up every 20
minutes (except where I live the canterbury plains which is the most boring part of nz by a mile)

wonderful shots

since I only carry a 135mm (and a 50mm which always disappoints), I just can’t take those kinds of shots. and even if I did have an appropriate lens I still couldn’t because I simply cannot take a good photo with a wide lens

but by gum I appreciate all yours

thanks! and yes you can, it just takes practice like everything else

hmm well i’ve been trying off and on for like a decade, maybe after another I might get a few good shots



I have actually taken one (maybe) good photo with an 18mm



sometimes in life one is all u get. some don’t even get any
