As often as possible

Clean water would have been nice,then a PL filter,then a 70-300 instead of a 55-300 so the front element wouldn't rotate unless ime looking for a divorce i had best not go down that road.

I managed a 30th of a second for this one,still wide open and with a tripod.

Any way its the joy of being there and taking the pictures as much as anything for me.

Very overcast day no decent light at all,

Perhaps not for landscapes, but overcast days are great for neutral light shots and things like waterfalls.

Last of the bird shots i shouldn't have taken.

Churches along the way

Love the top shot. The middle could use a bit of vertical perspective correction, and perhaps a little straightening (seems to tilt right). The bottom needs a rotational nudge to the left as well and perhaps a bit of cropping as it feels like there's too much tree to the right and/or too much/not enough of the bend in the road to be of any real interest. Love the church though.

Jake i wouldn't argue with any of that,the perspective aspects ime not ready for yet but the time will come,there was actually a full nice curve in the road in the original but it had cars parked on it which i didn't want,so as you say i should have balanced the crop a little better.

In a previous post containing a picture of a church Jake mentioned perspective control,done some churches today that i knew would need it, the problem was i didn't watch the instruction video until after returning with the pictures.
It should have been obvious to me i would need space around the subject to straighten it into,or limit the correction so as not to lose part of the subject,ah well learning is fun this is as far as i could take this one.

So that's where some one got the idea to hang Christmas balls on a Christmas tree.
