After Gilly & Jerry’s wedding, we had 7 hours until Mike & Wade (our next friends/hosts) got off of work.
We drove up Hwy 66 and found a great pull off. We stopped and walked down a hill to this beautiful little stream.
This weird pile of stuff with rusty looking lichen was next to the stream. Looks like a support for something.
I played with the slow shutter speed (handheld/propped on the ground kind of thing since the tripod was buried in the trunk. To get this effect, slow your shutter to 1/15 or slower and adjust your exposure to match. Tripods are great, but obviously, you can prop it on the ground or something else sturdy.
The death toll is astounding!
Nate & I hid in the car for a bit when it started raining. How do you entertain a pair of photographers stuck in the car? Silly pictures with the fisheye, of course!
We were pretty tired, so hiking wasn’t at the top of our to do list. After we relaxed and listened to the rain & creek for a while, it was off to Boulder (well, Louisville) to look for dinner and some entertainment. We ended up checking out the new Star Trek movie after it got late. It was pretty good. Nate really liked it. I miss the campiness of the original. It was not Dawson’s Creek in space.
