Sunday walk on the Appalachian Trail
Sunday, November 29th, 2009
Cornwall Bridge, Connecticut. David and Loren hiked north on the Appalachian Trail from Kent to Cornwall Bridge leaving a car in Kent. I drove to Cornwall Bridge and hiked south to meet them and then we doubled back and I drove them to their car. I was on my own so brought bigger camera gear and tripod to attempt better shots of these hills.
Something about the two textures: grass and trees looked interesting to me. Nice to have a decent camera and lens to attempt to capture detail.
Hiking down the AT to meet David and Loren. The trail is covered in leaves here which aren’t a problem on flat trail but are a serious problem on switchbacks and hills.
Richard: excellent photos. I see you haven’t lost your touch with the 5D.
I love that 5D Gary, now more than ever. It really can make great images when we use it correctly. For me, using it correctly is rare but sometimes I get it.
Lovely photos Richard – as always. But these are particularly striking. Good eye! Good eye!
Thanks Roxanne, these were shot with a much more capable camera than the others, on a tripod, etc. Great to hear from you.
