Title: Lake Chelan
Post by: popeshawnpaul on September 03, 2008, 07:06:35 PM: Went up Lake Chelan for 5 days. Saw lots of deer and bear. Didn't shoot a bear though. All in all, it was a good time with the family. All I can say is that bakery at Stehekin is good. I put on a lot of weight eating at the bakery and ranch restaurant.

Here are a few pictures. I have tons but these two are all I have energy to fix.

Didn't tag a deer but at least saw some this year. It's really amazing bear hunting and it wouldn't take more than 3 days to get a bear for a decidated hunter.

Post by: popeshawnpaul on September 12, 2008, 10:34:46 AM: Canon 40D. More importantly, I try and use good glass. The first photo was taken with a 10-22 EFS lens. It's not an "L" lens but the quality is considered as such. The bear photo was taken with a 70-200 f2.8 L IS lens. The camera doesn't matter. A cheap Rebel could take just as good of photos. I'm a big believer in glass, not the light capturing devise.

Did you crop tight on the bear? something about the blacks levels or High ISO? Great composition tho.

And if you do that Tuna trip, you HAVE to call me!, I will take pics for ya of the whole trip.
Always wanted to fish for Tuna. My favorite meat after Elk Rib Eye :drool:
