Cranberry River
Look for numerous new posts next week after I get back from the Cranberry Wilderness area.From Wikipedia: The Cranberry Wilderness is located on the back-slope of the Allegheny Front. The area is drained by the Williams River and the Cranberry River, both of which are tributaries of theGauley River, which in turn unites with the New River to form the Kanawha River, which is a tributary of the Ohio River. The area just east of the Allegheny Crest, which is the border of the Cranberry Wilderness, is drained by tributaries of the Greenbrier River, which flows into the New River.
The wilderness is located in the Yew Mountains, which are part of the Allegheny Mountains. The highest point in the Wilderness along Black Mountain at 4,556 feet (1,389 m), although there is a slightly higher point at 4,603 feet (1,403 m) just outside of the Wilderness. The lowest elevation in Cranberry Wilderness is at 2,400 feet (730 m) along the Williams River atThree Forks of Williams River, where it exits the Wilderness.
The Cranberry Wilderness is located mostly in Pocahontas County, with part also in Webster County.
The national Rainbow Gathering has been held twice at Cranberry, in 1980 and in 2005.
Push-it
Never let a shot get away by not experimenting. There are times when you might need to push the limits of photography to get a shot. In order to make this image I had to use a 1.4 teleconverter on my 100-400 5.6 IS something that I wouldn't normally do because of image degradation. The first few shots were blurry so I locked my mirror up and use live-view so the mirror never fell back down as I took each shot, bumping my ISO to 400 also helped. The moral to the story is-Never be afraid to push the limits to make an image. It is no fun to look back and say, "I should have done this"-get the shot.
