The Quarry Trail was awesome. The river was raging, there was runoff on the trail, mud flying, and a group of great guys. Oh ya!!!! Here are some pics.

Ah man, those pics are sweet! Very nice camera work. :2thumbs:

I'm gonna split this thread and turn it into it's own Trip Report thread.

I drove up LCC on Saturday. I fogot my camera and the creek and water falls were cranking. The creek was a raging white rapid river from Alta ski to the bottom. I saw no still or clear water.

Nice pics Kirk, Looks like you guys needed a raft rather than a bike with all of the water on the trail. :hail2thechief:

Hmm, wonder if the creek is runnable? :twisted:

Awesome pics, what camera is that?

Just curious - What kind of camera and lens were used for taking these photos! Great colors & clarity! :2thumbs:

Thanks for the great comments.

I was using the Nikon D300 and the 85mm f/1.8 lens. A kick butt combination, if I may say so. I believe most of the portraits were taken at f/2.8 and the action shots were taken wide open at f/1.8. I can check to see what the exact setting were, but I can't remember off the top on my head. They were something like 1/640, f/1.8, ISO 400. The shaded areas get pretty dark so it is nice to have a fast lens. I do sometimes miss the wide angle. Nikon should make a 18-200 f/2.8. :2thumbs:

Definitely great to see Kirk show up each time. Because then we get to see some stellar photos after the ride. :five:

Thank you Tanya. Very nice compliment.

I do carry the D300 with me. I throw it in my pack and hope I don't crash. :haha: I use to just carry my point and shoot, but you just can't get the control I want with the P&S. For me, the photos are worth the hassle of carrying the big camera.

Thanks again for all of the great comments.

Excellent pics- great color saturation. Those cameras (in the right hands) do a great job and are used for many of the great pics at MTBR.com too.

The guy in pic #2 needs to adjust that helmet though covering the forehead=good wearing it like a yamika=bad.
