I've since "invested" in a lighter, more compact tripod. 
I'm still debating what hikes to try to get out on, but I'm running into a lot of scheduling conflicts with friends and such in terms of organizing/trip planning. I may end up doing some solo runs up the mountains.

Nearly 3000ft climb up and down in 13km round trip. It was my first hike for this season.

I see no reason to hike up a mountain with all the gear..unless going for a pro-shoot or something. Bring one extra lens, and a monopod. It's not worth it to carry all that weight! Quote:

always wanted a shot of this bridge from the inside of the car but im always driving (except this time) and the windows dirty 
colour
Another shot from the passengers side i thought it looked too bright so i made it darker but i can't decide which i like more (partly why i h8 editing images lol) 
(there was an electrical poll/wires in the way that i ps'd out very amateurishly)

not to be over critical, but i don't think either of the road with mountains shots are "keepers" ?

id love any criticisms since im no photographer just a dude playing with his phone (thats part of why im sharing in here hoping you guys could throw some tips suggestions; i've really been hesitant in sharing cuz im afraid the actual photographers would be like "wtf is this shit doing in here"  )

Focus on shooting, and less on editing. I hope you keep posting! No need to get discouraged. Quote:

I disagree w/ your comment.
StylinRed, hope you don't mind, but I was curious and decided to play with your uploaded image, to see what a bit of magic could do to it. 
I think it's aight for a phone shot. Probably woudl be way better if I had the original file.

Did some shooting down in the Vancouver Port Authority lands for a client who wanted high resolution shots of the view from where The Cannery restaurant's dining area used to be. Used a 50MP Hasselblad H4D-50 medium format digital camera with a 80mm f2.8 lens. This is a test shot I did - a panorama consisting of ten 50MP images stitched together, just to see how well Photoshop CS5 coped with large files. The file is 31,000 pixels wide and un-flattened is 4.69GB. It took my Macbook Pro 30 minutes to render the panorama. Aiyiyi~~!
