April 29: Finally, Touched the Whales' Tails

My friend Sandi told us months ago that there was actually a walking path that would take us right up to the Whales' Tails that I tried so hard to photograph as we whizzed by in the truck.  The weather has been either cold and windy or we have been too busy with other things so the Tails were put on hold. Of course we will be living in Vermont for less than a week, so we finally took action.

It was a bit chilly after supper (32 degrees), last night but the sun was shining (Haven't seen it all that much this past week.) so we decided on one more adventure. We used the new iPhone and the GPS to see if the same route would be selected, and away we went with cameras in hand.   We took both cameras so we compare what differences we would see visually by using the Cannon Power Shot and the Cannon Rebel (new camera for photographing the custom wood products that we will be making in our business). I must say that being able to stand still while taking the photos was definitely helpful.

The first four shots are with my constant companion - The Power Shot.

 














The next three were taken with the Rebel.



I was wearing a t-shirt, thermal underwear shirt, a heavy hooded
sweat shirt and a jacket.  It was COLD.

Then we photographed the mountains in the background to check out what we could see as differences.  It must be noted that the Rebel does take much better photos in the professional settings that we used for Kevin's furniture.  Kevin and I did not try the same things on these shots so there is no comparison for the zooming on the mountains.  I really like the second and third shots because the mountain snow shows so well.



This was taken with the Rebel - no zooming done.

This is with the Power Shot - Big time zooming



Some more zooming with the Power Shot
