07/12/2007 10:29AM I was blown away by so many great photo's - I am thankful I was not a judge. Congratulations to Crusty, Canoe Dude, Big Zig and to others who also captured the beauty of canoe country. Boppa |

07/12/2007 07:25AM Winner of the June photo contest goes to Crusty! Congratulations. We apologize for the delay. A couple of vacations and a plethora of great photos to consider made this a tough month but enjoyable month. The second hat goes to Canoe Dude. BigZig is the winner of the June trip report contest. |

07/06/2007 07:56PM Tom I always tell people my unbiased opinion, that this is the best bwca site on the web (and I have seen many) Not only because of the many features, but the very freindly people. |
| TomT |
07/06/2007 07:53PM None taken. I do wish we could have emoticons to post here though... You guys are my kind of people. I'm glad I finally found this place. :) |

07/06/2007 07:47PM :) just thought id chime in. no offence! Jan |

07/06/2007 07:36PM TomT....even as late as your photo is.....i dont see a canoe in that pic. (which IS the subject of junes photo contest) Jan |

07/06/2007 07:03PM I'm late to the party but just thought I'd toss this in. I shot slide film which really doesn't transfer well to digital. Insula Lake in the morning.

07/06/2007 01:03PM Since some moderators are gone does that also mean that the trip report contest winner will be announced next week? |
| L.T.sully |
07/06/2007 10:33AM I think this photo contest smashes all others in size. Has any photo contest ever even come close to 100 posts?, much less 120. |
| WoodPaddle |
07/06/2007 07:21AM Hay NKelly, Nice picture, you have my vote. |
| bogwalker |
07/06/2007 06:52AM FYI-With a couple of voting moderators on trips as well as out of town, the June winners will be announced next week. This was a great group of pictures this past month. It made voting for a winner especially tough! |
| greenydd |
07/06/2007 06:45AM brain250 could you tell me what lake that photo was taken on. it looks like my favorite spot and im just curious if it is. thanx. if its a secret, i promise i wont tell anyone! :O) |

06/25/2007 12:09PM Thanks bellolake--I wondered if anyone would notice it was flipped ;) |
| Itchy Menace |
06/25/2007 11:34AM It does look remarkably similar Navigator. I know that we were camped in the Northwest most campsite just before the portage to Koma. There were a lot of little channels just across from our site and thats where I took that shot. |
| Navigator |
06/25/2007 11:23AM Itchy Menace ~ Your photo looks like it was taken on the same place on Lake Polly that this one was taken. It was taken in June 1986 and is a scan (so I'm sorry for the quality). It was just haunting that it looks like the same spot! 
|
| L.T.sully |
06/25/2007 10:43AM WOW!! a ton of REALLY good photo's so far. If I were one of the moderators having to pick from this I'd feel true pain in choseing. This is the best group of photo's I have seen since joining bwca.com over half a year ago. |

06/24/2007 10:38PM I'm one of the late sleepers Itchy Menace is referring to above. In fact I rolled out of tent last August to groggily snap this beauty of Mr. Menace himself. He should really be a male model. My pic isn't as great as Itchy's, but I dig it.

06/24/2007 10:17PM This is from Lake Polly in some nice early morning fog. The guys I go with usually sleep in so I have a few hours to kill in the mornings.

06/16/2007 09:49PM Okay, I already entered one picture but I have another I like even better, so I "withdraw" my previous entry (although it's still posted above) and submit this one instead. :-) Picture taken May 1, 2006, on the third day of a four-day loop from Mudro through the Basswood River. We saw no one in this popular area the whole trip, given that it was so early in the season. This will probably go down as one of my favorite short trips of all time. This picture was taken on the last "unofficial" portage going up the Horse River. As we portaged it started to rain, and I love the way this picture captures the rain and the light through the Spirit II.

06/14/2007 09:50PM Just got back from a quick overnight into Basswood for a friends birthday. Beautifully still night. Used a graduated neutral density filter on this to balance out the sky - the best filter you can get for your trip to the BW.

06/12/2007 01:20PM Taken at one of the portages between Horse and Fourtown.June 3rd 2007. Howard ,the previous photo was at a site on a small bay on the South end of Fourtown. |
| UncleMoose |
06/12/2007 12:23PM Portage Monkey - The camera is a Canon digital SLR (11MP, 1Ds model). This picture was taken on a tripod using a graduated neutral density filter. The filter is basically a piece of transparent plastic that's split into a clear half and a darkened half. By moving the positioning of the filter over the lens, you can do things like darken an overly bright sky while still keeping the foreground nice and bright. Using this filter on a sunset scene like this allows me to keep color in both the sky and foreground (like our own eyes would normally see). Ordinarily without this filter, the camera's own limitations in how it captures light would either cause the sky to go white or the foreground to go dark. This may help account for the even color. I also process most of my photographs with photo editing software, so that helps too. Taking pictures is usually one of our main pastimes, so my wife and I bring lots of photography gear. (To make room for it all, we don't bring a lot of other extra stuff). Needless to say, it helps a lot to have all this gear with us (multiple lenses, filters, flashes, etc...). |
| HowardSprague |
06/12/2007 12:09PM Stormy - which site? |

06/11/2007 09:39PM I'm glad, that some of the best photographers in this contest have already won this year. It might be a runaway for uncle moose, and snakecharmer. However this is the best group of photos I have seen, while on bwca.com. |

| mr.barley |
06/09/2007 08:10PM Yeah, it was a surreal experience. The other canoe in our group drifted off coarse about 15 yards and they were starting to disappear from our view. Bermuda triangle effect. |
| snakecharmer |
06/09/2007 07:38PM Stubs - It was a strange experience. With nothing to focus on, we got almost a feeling of vertigo. We kept the canoe headed in as straight a line as we could, and miraculously, we came out on the other side of Nina Moose right at the beach in HowardSprague's photo. |
| stubs |
06/09/2007 01:37PM Snakecharmer, that is an awesome picture. If I didn't know better, I'd say you put the canoe in front of a blank white wall. |

06/07/2007 08:35PM Barley - 1993. Yourself, Moose Plums, me and "Close Shave" Dave. A nice memory lying there on that beach. Thanks Howard. |
| mr.barley |
06/07/2007 08:08PM H. Sprague- really, I haven't been by there in about 3 years now. Glad to hear it's still kicking,. I think it went down in 1993 if memory serves me. Just trying to remember who I was traveling with that trip. i think 93 though. |

06/07/2007 12:49PM Howard Spraque, we've stopped at that same site for lunch more times than I can remember. We were actually up there the week that big (now dead) pine went down. We ate under it when we went in and stopped to find it down on our way out. It probably lived about 8 more years after tumbling over. |
| jdevries |
06/07/2007 09:27AM Seeing as you can see the VNO logo in this picture, I should tell Lynn that they did NOT take the canoe over the falls, they launched from where I took the picture.

06/06/2007 10:25PM Just some incredible photos this month. (the sun-burned foot shot is slightly off-topic and a little disturbing - but a very nice composition none the less) |

06/06/2007 09:11PM trailrider, We went east to Hustler and north to Loon (beautiful beach, see photo). It was a great trip. Thanks. 
|
| kavdvm |
06/06/2007 06:52PM Thank you prettypaddle, and the same to you. Awesome photo! The day I took that picture turned out to be a beautiful sunny day after the fog lifted -- the best one of the whole trip. This month's contest will be a tough one to judge! Great pictures from everyone. |
| trailrider |
06/06/2007 06:32PM hey determined orange...thanks for the little indian sioux pic, we were there 2 years ago and it brought back great memories...how far did you end up going? |

06/06/2007 03:26PM I only know one person in the world named Trygve, and I worked with him 12 years ago at the NSC. Is that you, by chance? Glad to hear Superior North has survived to paddle another day. |
| Trygve |
06/06/2007 03:20PM Their outfitting building burned, but their store did not. Those canoes are in front of the store, on the corridor. They're fine. |
