DSLR cameras require a big commitment; they are fairly expensive and heavy to carry. Most of my photos also needed further processing with Photoshop to get the most out of them.Hilke Brederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18357741278362930033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6364686787961129602.post-64316724545926410282009-12-13T15:11:19.620-05:002009-12-13T15:11:19.620-05:00Wow such nice photos!

It was very descriptive and I felt like I was there. Beautiful photo as well (I don't see any bad!). Fantastic Gadwell shots.......and the last photo is just spectacular. Listening to the ocean made me realize how much I miss it...Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02263405659108175434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6364686787961129602.post-57518259452877825522009-12-09T07:04:21.017-05:002009-12-09T07:04:21.017-05:00@Erica, thanks.

From the outside it looks like a shack, but so different on the inside. There are always lots of cars in the parking lot, a good sign for a restaurant.Hilke Brederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18357741278362930033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6364686787961129602.post-87210655392233181362009-12-09T07:00:29.542-05:002009-12-09T07:00:29.542-05:00@Kim, thanks.

I started using a Panasonic Lumix FZ28 camera (same as Laurent's) for the landscape shots. The last photo has a 3-D like HDR feel to it but was just a simple shot - with the right light.Hilke Brederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18357741278362930033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6364686787961129602.post-40108028619117292102009-12-09T02:52:02.131-05:002009-12-09T02:52:02.131-05:00Hi Hilke!

It's been a few years since I've been there, and your photos have reminded me just how beautiful that area can be in the winter.Erica Houskeeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16452427707671237183noreply@blogger.com
