[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 804579, member: 50197"] The Pup and I decided to try going back to Boneyard beach this morning. Got up at 4:00 and drove well over an hour to find that the gate doesn't open at 6:00AM now, it is 1/2 hour before sunrise. It takes a good half hour to drive to the beach parking lot and walk the trail over to the beach and then there is setting up. The very best time is often a little while before the sun pokes over the horizon. Anyway, we got to the beach and set up, and 3 minutes later we were swarmed with biting gnats. It was bad enough that I had to spot out about a dozen of them from the image because the little buggers were in front of/on the lens. It was very difficult to concentrate on what we were doing. It didn't help that the driftwood trees had shifted and were more crowded making for a too busy field of view. The gnats drove us back to the car after a rather short session. We both agreed to wait til the colder weather at the end of the year. Managed one halfway decent image, but not the high hopes we had. [ATTACH type="full"]390269[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
