These are from our hiking trip of 2 weeks ago.. I take about 400 to 500 snaps a weekend!!! WOW thank goodness I have a huge memory card and an external drive for my computer!!!

I LOVE this Sheri .. the deer is so so pretty and checking you out , and the shots are so so lovely and peaceful.. makes me feel so relaxed looking at these :)!! Totally awesome ! ????? · 2007-10-23: 22:16

Wonderful set! So beautiful. mybigbackyard · 2007-10-23: 22:17

The waterfall pictures are all sooo beautiful. Did you take a tripod for that, or do you just have a steady hand? I added #2 to my favorites. dweiskir · 2007-10-23: 22:22

Wow! je suis sans voix. So beautiful. LisetteT · 2007-10-23: 22:26

I used a tripod on all the photos except the 1st one. I just hold my breath like a hunter then squeeze the trigger... SheriJ · 2007-10-23: 22:27

These are all excellent. Great white balance too, I might add! Well done. Love #4! MHJphotos · 2007-10-23: 23:32

I added #1 to my favorites! :) Great shutter speeds on these. The falls look fantastic and they are in such a beautiful setting. Wonderful work, Sheri! I can't help wondering what Spike would do if he saw a deer! vollenda · 2007-10-23: 23:42

Beautiful! felipeadiers · 2007-10-24: 12:52

I love the exposure time and shutter speed you selected to capture the stream of the falls...so magical! I guess the deers are out at dusk now since I've seen several of them chillin' along the plant road driving home from work everyday :) fishbud · 2007-10-24: 13:42

Number three is sensational. maharba · 2007-10-24: 14:20

Hi . great set . I like all . gillas3 · 2007-10-25: 05:31

Ok, this is the 58th (!) comment on this set, but I could not resist to say that the water looks amazing, like silkiest silk, the creamiest cream... great slow shutter shots! Do you need a tripod for such images? And where is this place? I am surching for mountain brooks here in Switzerland, but hardly find any! longimanus · 2007-10-25: 13:49
