Greetings all, this is my first post in OPF and I thought I'd make my first contribution here since I have something coming up next week.
In a few days I will be heading to the south shore of Lake Superior where I plan to take a lot of lakeshore shots. Also some Apostle Island shots from the deck of a cruise tour boat, and a number of waterfall shots in the surrounding area state parks. I'll have my Canon Digital Rebel XT with a EF 17-85mm USM IS lens with me along with an alternate 75-300mm lens. WhiBal, the sensor brush cleaning system, a couple tripods, and a few other general odds and ends will also be my companions.
I'll be shooting raw mode exclusively, most likely at ISO 100, and plan to use a tripod for the waterfall shots so I can slow the shutter down.
Anyone have other suggestions for equipment and/or shooting technique?
(If not, at least I got to break the ice in this section of the new forum!
