Hiking (post pics taken whist hiking here...)

[NickTrop]

Although it is quite clear none of you have a sophisticated enough visual palate to appreciate the brilliance of this series of photographic masterpieces and near-masterpieces, I post this as a public service in a futile effort to incrementally improve your appreciation of my genius.
You are indeed welcome, however, to post your paltry attempts at photography to this thread, provided said attempts were taken whilst hiking. Thank you.

Of course ... when hiking through the Australian wilderness, one needs to wary of the 'forest nymphs!'

 

[NickTrop]

Obviously I go hiking in the wrong places, Keith... No forest nymphs at Ridley Creek State Park, PA 🙁 - Just boring azz trees n stuff... I wants me some forest nymphs! Guess I gotta go to Oz!

Nick I do like your post but feel I need to say.
"Hiking" is going by foot where machine has not been. Manicured trees and lawns as well as Asphalt are not in fact seen when hiking.

Nice pic... and fair enough. This is as good as it gets for me for these parts... (without driving a distance...)

In the spirit of your hike, Nick:

Hiking along High Rock Lake at Tuckertown dam. Totally agree with f16sunshine.





View from top of the Dam. Shot with a Canon T 70.

I do like that last shot Nick.

Thank you, sir! That's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me. Great stuff all - I esp. like that plant in Monterey by Tomtofa - nice!

Australian 'forest nymphs!' do seem more fun than Californian coyotes ...

filmfan that is some serious hiking! Looks great but it would probably kill me!

Damn, I've never seen one here in Victoria. Have to look harder. I suppose the best time to catch them is near a watering hole when they come out of hiding to drink. I'll need a long telephoto lens as you wouldn't want to spook them. Or maybe Bruce Gilden approach could work???

No nymphs here either, probably too bloody cold at night - both NW Himalaya, India

OK, I'll play. The following shots were taken in the Columbia River Gorge with my Mamiya 6. They were sent to Precision Camera for developing and scanning.

The Columbia River Gorge is a great place to go hiking and this Oregonian goes there frequently. I hope to post more shots taken there as the weather improves this spring.
