"Erwins View"
I hiked up the Erwins View Trail this week to take some shots of Linville Falls from the Overlook. The sky was sunny when I left home in Beech Mountain, NC but clouded up as I arrived at the falls. I learned several things that day, one of which was to get myself a carbon fiber tripod.

Canon 5D
Canon 24-105 @ 24mm
Manfrotto tripod
Circ. Polarizer

Wow the vegetation is very thick. I live about 30 miles away in Morganton and it looks like the rain has been staying up there! You must be hauling around an aluminum hoss tripod like me :rolleyes:

Yes, Leann, it's aluminum and I loved it until that day. The first thing I did after that hike was order the new carbon fiber tripod and start a diet in order to lose 10 lbs.
