finnbay Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Had my favorite birthday present today - the time to go out and do something I enjoy without having to feel guilty about not getting my work done. Back to the grind tomorrow. All images taken with the Canon 40D. The panoramas were taken with the 100-400L and the river shots were taken with the 17-40L. Steve and I took a mid-day drive up the Fernberg to the Lookout Tower vista: After work I headed down the Tomahawk to the Island River. A couple of panoramas while there: "Manomin" "Tammies" Finally stopped at the Dunka River just before dark. Used a 4ND neutral density, 100 ISO, manual at f/20 and 13 seconds. NR on and MLU: "Dunka River 1" "Dunka River 2" Enjoy, and thanks again to everyone who wished my a happy birthday! By the way, the Fernberg Lookout and the Tammies were three photos stitched together, Manomin was four photos stitched together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Uran Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Great pics, just curious as to why it's called manomin???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finnbay Posted October 9, 2008 Author Share Posted October 9, 2008 "Manomin", and similar spellings, is the Native American word for wild rice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Uran Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I knew that it meant wild rice (Ojibwe language), just wondering how the picture was tagged with that title??? I see the wild rice out there, just wondering who knew to call it manoomin is all. Nice picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finnbay Posted October 10, 2008 Author Share Posted October 10, 2008 Thanks again, all. Yakfisher, I waited almost 40 minutes for the sun to peek between the clouds to light up that shoreline with the dark clouds in the background. Worth the wait!

buzzsaw Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Manomin is also my favorite. You have some nice dynamic range with the light hitting the trees and the skies behind them being darker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
