Fundy National Park - June 2012 (Part 2)

A few more shots from the trip... this time all processed with Picasa though (quicker for me at the moment)... I'm over-using the "vignette" effect, I know - I'll be working on getting away from that, but for now, these images were already processed, please forgive the redundant vignette effect :)  It's all about the kids today! Please provide feedback of what you think...

This is typical for my son :)

Nice view of the bay behind them...

Taken on Dickson Falls trail.

Sitting on a big rock in the middle of the little brook

My daughter peaking through an old rotten tree... the thing was leaning towards me and hanging over my head... I quickly took a few shots and got out of there, didn't feel very comfortable there - my daughter was on the correct side of the tree, I would of got it if anything went wrong...

I think my daughter is a tree huger! 

Fundy National Park - June 2012 (Part 1)

I'm drowning in pictures! My family and I spent a week in Fundy National Park (amazing park, one that I still greatly enjoy after 20 years).  Came back with 12GB of pictures and videos.  Birds woke me up real early in the morning (5:30am), so I got many sunrise and quiet time exploring the park and taking many pictures.  The only problem with this trip is that it didn't last longer!

With my limited equipment, I think I still got some great shots (at least some that I like!).  Here are a few (kids processed in Picasa, but other two processed in LightRoom).  Let me know what you think!

Bennett Lake was incredible that first morning.  I returned many times again throughout the week and couldn't get anything like the first morning.  Glad I was there and didn't miss that amazing morning!

Many sunrises were amazing in the park.  Some were more dramatic with clouds or fog.  However, without a gradual neutral density filter, there's only so much I could do.  My cheap eBay circular polarization filter ($8 CAD!) seemed to help in some cases.  For the most part, I didn't like longer exposures using my decent Hoya ND8 filter .

The kids had a blast, and I'm happy they enjoy the same things as I do.  We hope to return again at some point!
