inaugural outing. So went up to Yosemite for a day trip. Dumb idea...
Had heard the wildflowers were "spectacular" at the higher locations; NOT...
So
went down to the Valley; mistake #2; madhouse traffic. Then up Glacier Point
Rd;
nothing... And the falls were a trickle; Bridal Veil didn't even reach the
base
of the falls!
Finally headed back home and stopped to take a couple of images of the few
flowers we saw. Started out at 6am; these were the second and third venues
of
the day. The first (which I'm still working on) was at about 10. So
basically
drove around from about 1 - 5 without seeing anything....
18-1/2hr day; 527miles logged.
So at any rate here are 2 shots from the last 2 venues:

I'd be very interested in any observations, comments about the output seen
on
the screen from this equipment combination. I realize it's .jpg, but the
colors
seem very natural to me as well as the gradation in tonality. And it's nice
and
sharp at 100%....
Thanks for looking and comments,
Bob
