Interesting shots. A different perspective at night huh? So what is up with that stick and rock on the rope? Some blairwitch business going on there

Yea really, it was pretty strange... Chuck, Joe, and I noticed it as we pulled up and almost made us not want to get out of the truck. We really couldn't tell what it was... it looked like a bone or something from a distance. But since we had made the trip out there we figured we'd get out of the truck and explore a bit regardless of that strange thing hanging in the tree was.
Later on while taking in the view of the pygmy pines at night, we all suddenly head a loud thud behind us! Up until then the woods had been dead silent except for a few distant birds. We all looked at each other thinking one of us was playing around, but here everybody had their hands in their pockets. It sounded like something/someone had thrown a large rock at us. After going some quick investigating and some tense moments, we all decided it'd probably be a good idea to head out of there. As we were leaving Nick/Deviltoy noticed the thing hanging and snapped that picture- as he had missed it earlier. We all left pretty quickly after that.

Just a few from early this morning, before sunrise. Temp 18º.
Haha, yea this one and some of the others really came out nice. Once we got the settings right
Thanks! To get that jeep shot it really took a lot of trial and error. It was probably the toughest shot to get "right".
it took alot of time and patience. its ashame we didn't stil have those clouds like that other picture though. that was the perfect back. It's funny that we only took these 5 minutes apart. with the same setting's.
Welcome to the dark side, gentlemen. 
Keep experimenting, it's fun -- and exciting to see what comes up.
