Home for Old Birds: This was taken using the brenizer method. It’s a panorama of six shots, taken using my handheld 300mm. The idea was to have a creamy smooth shot, without background noise while still shooting handheld at 800-1000 ISO. I think it worked out quite nicely. Yesterday I decided to take a short hike, both to test my new method of geotagging and to possibly get a picture of a fly amanita mushroom. I didn’t find a mushroom. But I *did* get quite lost. Two hours later, after four miles of hiking, my brother Michael and I found ourselves drenched and quite happy on our front porch. We had hiked through some ridiculous rainstorms, had no idea where we were but it was just great fun. I am able to accurately say that the Lowepro Flipside 400 AW is indeed completely waterproof. My gear was safe and dry, and also even after a four mile hike with two tripods my back doesn’t hurt a bit. I forgot the backpack was on my body. I’ll post the few pictures I took on the trip as well as a detailed analysis of geotagging using the google android phone tomorrow.View On Black
