yay pinnacles
We only brought a few water bottles with us on the hike and we ran out (we were so unprepared D:) and we were all exhausted from that by the time we were heading back, we were all nearly throwing up so we left early. It was fun though and I took a lot of pictures.
I can't believe how much I drank when we got back to the truck :D I had 2 bottles of water and 2 cokes in probably less than 10 minutes.

I was only gonna shoot a few RAWs here and there but I forgot to change it back to JPeg, and for that im kinda lucky... most of the regular JPegs turned out bad, but the RAWs are great - the ones that were bad I was able to fix up.
 I took RAWs occasionally in the same area as the regular JPegs so there's gonna be 2 batches. ah hop u don mind

Also, I occasionally couldn't see the LCD screen too well so I couldn't tell if I was over/underexposing, but most were alright.

I wasn't able to save them as .png like Lock sayz i should, but distortion won't show up too much in these pictures like they did in the star ones.

1st batch, regular JPegs:



I had no idea >:(










the view alongside the road, scary huh?








that place looked scarier the closer we got to it :(







One of my favorites, I'd like it even more if it was a bit darker though. I'll fix it later.









Those shadows were fun to mess with, I have a way better RAW version later.





those too. The hikers in the background, who i have no relation to at all, blended in well too. (yes, at this point we were already in the scary rocky place)












that was a really weird tree in the background...



blurry, but gimme a D for effort :(




I was hanging out in a cave. I was hoping those 2 rocks didn't fall and kill me.




I'm guessing some guy named White wrote that at the end of the cave in 1961.



That rock looks like bigfoot/homer simpson/a dude.



On the way back we saw a hawk. As exhausted as I was I took a few pics. I need a telephoto lens :(


















overexposed :(

While taking those pics, this dude walked up to me:




yeah... o_O



yez, the road was clearly inspired by San Francisco or something, yes I'm aware I screwed the focus :(



That's it for the regular batch. Now the better pics :D



I was trying to take bird pics in the parking lot. They were wearing me out.















(edit of the one before it)








(edit of the one before it)














There was a hole in the top of the cave.



Flash, to give you an idea of what it was.



I overexposed this birdy in the parking lot (one of the ways they were wearing me out) but luckily I was shooting in RAWs, so I just simply edited that :)



:D





oops


(yes, edited)













I did a few edits of shots like that, you can tell which ones are edited by how dark the shadows are ok?













......*flips off*





The better shadows image.



edited to intensify the shadows on the ground a bit











once again the hikers who I have no relation to, I was just following them for no reason at all.
yes I used a polarizing filter, that distortion is from Photobucket me thinkz

I like that one.







My mom amayzingly spotted that one berry.





again it was Photobucket that killed the edges >:( It's way sharper off-interwebz. I would have saved them as .png but just the jpegs take long enough to upload.








A small cave. I climbed all the way to the end of it... I felt so proud.
It was hard getting down though, I had to do it without breaking my camera... I nearly broke my ankle doing so :( (I had to jump down without falling over, and it was very rocky).
At least I learned I'm good at rock climbing, since I did it without falling or damaging my camera :)



>:(



:D




That's everything worth looking at, i thinks
Sorry it's unorganized and an extremely long post, I'm too tired to sort things :)

These are way sharper than they are shown on Photobucket. If you want the full sized images so you can see, PM/IM me.
