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.

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.

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.

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...).

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.

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!

Photo was taken on Ima Lake, about 8 or 9 lakes in from our starting point of Snowbank Lake.

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!

I think this photo contest smashes all others in size. Has any photo contest ever even come close to 100 posts?, much less 120.

Since some moderators are gone does that also mean that the trip report contest winner will be announced next week?

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.

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.

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.

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.
