Default Tumbledown mountain in Weld, Maine

Hello from Maine,

I was able to find a couple hiking buddies and climb Tumbledown mountain in Weld, Maine, a couple times back in 2006.

That was two years before I started studying photography and bought a "pro" camera. All pics were taken with a camera worth about $25 in 2006, which was made back in 2000 - The "Fuji FinePix 1400 zoom".

When it was made digital cameras were still in their infancy, a "consumer" digital camera from 2000 was not very good quality at all - but it allowed me, an avid snapshooter, to photodocument my daughter's growth and a few cool events, without incurring the cost of film. Hiking Tumbledown, to me, was a very cool event.

Although P&S cameras from 2000 were not very good, the "1400 zoom" was top of the line (in it's price class). In hindsight I see I was lucky to have that instead of the much worse options of the day.

Today I learned that PhotoShop CS3 can automatically merge shots into panoramics - so I went back though those pics of Tumbledown and made a few cool wide shots.

I consider these "snapshots" because they were taken with such a poor quality camera (compared to the cameras of today). So I feel this thread is more appropriate here than in the "landscapes" forum (though maybe the panoramics have enough pixels to sneak into that forum).

My Tumbledown webapge is here (8 MB) : Tumbledown mountain, the "Loop trail", a virtual tour by SpyStyle

I look forward to returning with a couple "pro" cameras and the knowledge I've gained since I've started studying photograhy.

Let me know what you think

Cheers,
Craig

Wow, what a beautiful place. I bet it will be more beautiful when the leaves change color in the fall. TFS

Oh wow, I wish I were closer and I'd be very willing to take that hike with you. If'n these old tired legs would let me.

Hiking buddies are rare around here, I find the general populace to be quite lazy

Now drinking buddies on the other hand, are quite easy to find!

*sigh*
