Holgas from the Boundary Waters

As always, I took my Holga with me on our trip to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. Unlike always, I fell in the lake while wearing my Holga. Yes, fully submerged up to my shoulders. And so was my Holga. It pretty much took the whole trip to dry the inside and the roll of film in there when I fell was un-salvageable. Sad. But I kept shooting just in case I got some good ones even though it was wet. But many of the photos that did survive were stuck together and had water marks on them. But, I managed to get a few that I like!

Fall Boundary Waters Trip

We had an awesome trip to the Boundary Waters last week! I blogged about it for Wisconsin Outdoor Fun here.

I didn't set these up. I made on cast with the fishing pole and immediately got it caught. So Dan went out and un-caught it for me. And that is all I fished. But the light was perfect so I took a lot more pictures.

Frosty grass.

Our home away from home. Shortly after this I slipped into the lake. Sad. It was cold. But I recovered quickly with dry clothes and vigorous paddling.

Boundary Waters :: And more Holgas!

 Here is my final installment of Holgas from our trip to the Boundary Waters.

I got my Holgas back from the developer today from the Boundary Waters trip. When I get time I will put a bunch up (I scanned a lot) but for now here is just one!

Boundary Waters Continued

I had some time to finally edit photos from the trip to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. These photos were all taken with my 40 D and a 14mm lens. As we left town, I went to take a photo with my  28-70 mm lens and it fell off my camera in my hand. Apparently the lens broke from the rear component when my backpack took a tumble. I freaked out because I couldn't remove the latching element from my camera. But it worked out and I got it off. But all these photos are with a fish-eye on my cropped camera. Lots of lens flares and such....

The trusty aluminum canoe. We took this last time to the Boundary Waters. It is pretty heavy, but you can run it into rocks without worrying.

We made friends with the gray jays. They say on our hands and ate cookies.

Lots of portaging, 13 to be exact. I know this photo has a weird or no focus and is blown-out at the top, but I like it.

We fished a lot, but didn't catch anything. Not even any bits. Dang. No Walleye for us!

Grass and sun. There was a lot of this.

 

More canoe pictures.

Paddling

Our final paddle through Snowbank Lake.

Starry night over Lake Disappointment. It was a new moon, so the stars were splendid each night. Photos don't really show much, but I have never taken photos of the stars before. I think this was about a 77 second exposure.
