 Ugh Tiger Eater, welcome to my country, please don't eat the bear lol. White man"Big Eye" is called a zoom, and it transform you in a kind of Kokopelli lol [img style="font-style: italic;" src="richedit/smileys/Happy/4.gif[/img]

michel, sorry to dissapoint - i've eaten bear since i was a kid.  from 0-20 years i ate more moose / deer / bear than  did beef.


OK I assume you meant the angle, not the apparent size of the mountains. The picture was taken from the summit of Hollyburn. I didn't pay attention to any lodge but I assume it's close to the road, same place where you rent the snowshoes? Anyway, this is a 2 to 3 hours up in the mountain from where you rent the snowshoes, but I'm slow. (Also I hiked 14 km the day before so I was not in total shape lol ok enough with the excuses). Anyway, probably closer to 2 hours in Summer. The fun part was to slip on my butt to come down in the steepest parts.

so this "lense" thing can make things appear closer

Ah the Lions, I hope I'll be able to have time to do it next Summer. But I've to be in better shape than now if I want to keep on smiling lol.

keep me in mind - I'd love to hike it with you.

EDIT : Ah! Just found the official details :

Thanks.

Extraordinary measures were taken last night by these rescuers to save a mans life.

Last night Police Paramedic's and the Fire department worked unceasingly, to get this unknown mans heart beating again. Approximately 20 minutes after the first responders arrival on scene, they loaded him to a ambulance. I do not know if he died or not. I do know the ambulance sat quiet for about 2 minutes, before it took off code, siren wailing and lights flashing.  

If any one wants the full video i am working on converting it. In its unedited unmodified version it is 18.minutes 50 seconds long, in AVI format,  1.23 gigabytes in size. It is filmed at 30 frames per second and is 640 x 480 unfortunatly it is very dark and it has no sound. Even after running it through a filter it is still pretty dark.

I need to make this video much smaller and more manageable for sharing so if you have any recommendations on how to do that with minimal loss of quality I am listening. I did not get the whole thing on video, I missed the first responders arrival but i did get secondry units. And Police and crime scene tape going up.

So if anyone wants to see the full video private msg me.

Very nice pic of Orion. I love pictures with stars on it, but I'm lazy and hate the tripod and everything. Plus night is cold lol Last attempt I made was 2 years ago in Organ Pipe NP in Arizona at Christmas time, but my hand freeze on the lens, I said to myself what the f*ck and just went back to bed lol [img style="font-style: italic;" src="/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/4.gif[/img]. I was trying to emulate a pic I took a few years ago of a Saguaro with Ursa Major on it. This summer maybe if I find an interesting foreground subject.  

Yeah i love night shots and i love water reflection - so i couldn't pass this up.

That the hard part of night photography is finding something interesting in the foreground.  In this case i had a bunch of boy scouts doing some stuff with flash lights ... and i knew there was an interesting mountain there.

 lol it's ok as long as this is not a Kermode bear or any endangered species. Indeed up North it's easier to find wild meat than driving 100 km for Safeway. Perfectly logical to hunt there. Just sad as that's less critters for me to shoot at with my camera.

no these were ordinary black bear and moose and white tail deer - there are gobs of them in that part of the world.  My father worked about 70km out of town on a private road so he just had to lean out of the window and blast mr moose - even easier (and a lot cheaper) than driving to safeway.  

Hey this might happen. Summer will be long again as I lost my kittysitter, so no long vacations again this year so far, unless I resign myself to let the cat stucked in a cage for 6 weeks... which I doubt. Any friendly boyscout out there on your Orion pic who wants to do a 6 weeks blitz of lazy "Good Turn Daily"

Cool - let me know when you are keen.  I may or may not be out of town a lot -
My boy scouts have cat allergies - so i doubt they would kitty sit.
