This summer for three weeks Buddy hiked the mountains of Maine and New Hampshire. I am a bit late posting his pictures because I was waiting for all the vacation trips to be completed. This first installment is a selection of shots taken of the lakes, water holes, creeks, and waterfalls he saw along his way. I usually post my pictures in "large" format, but because there were so many in this series I decided to use "medium" to cut down on the time loading. All of them were taken with Buddy's new Canon PowerShot D20. It is waterproof to10m/33Ft and shockproof to 1.5m/5ft. He both dropped it on dry land as well as in water and it survived without any damage. It is 12.1mp, has a 5X zoom, a 3"screen and ranges from $280.00 up to $390.00 depending upon where you purchase it. All I can say is it is one FINE point and shoot camera for the money. Now I want one :-)

This one has to be my favorite so I weakened
and used the "large" format.

Wow, what a bunch of great pics. I bet he enjoyed his trip.
ReplyDeleteI'm getting some serious camera envy going on.
What gorgeous captures and what a wonderful trip!! I, too, have a Canon, but not this one and now I want it!! Thanks so much, Genie for sharing Buds terrific photos with us today! Looking forward to more of them! Hope your week is off to a great start!!
ReplyDeletereally beautiful area! glad the camera did well, too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful water pics! My favorite is the swirling water too.
ReplyDeleteDelicious photos, a lovely place, I want to go to that site, I love those swirls in the water. Greetings.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great set of pictures! Point and shot or not, they are still really great.
ReplyDeleteI think we (me I mean!) can get to obsessed with gear, and forget that you see the picture in your eye before you press the shutter - and seeing a good picture is the difficult bit!

All these watery shots look so inviting! I try to convince my family to take a vacation in Maine, but no one but me wants to travel that far.
ReplyDeleteThose photography lessons you gave Bud really paid off. The swirling water caught my eye.
ReplyDeleteGreat tour!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteLots of water! I can't believe that swirly pic - it almost seems unreal. Great selection of shots from this hike. I enjoyed them.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love the third and fourth photos and Flagstaff Lake is beautiful! That camera did a fantastic job and so did the photographer!
ReplyDeleteI feel like I was there...love the falls.
ReplyDeleteso many beautiful waterscenes. Wish I´d been there myself.
ReplyDeleteThanks to you and Buddy for these wonderful pictures -- that swirling water is amazing! And also for the info about the camera -- I am starting to shop for a new one. (Well actually the shopper in the family -- not me -- is starting to do the research and I'll let him know about this one!)
ReplyDeleteYour photos are just breathtaking...I would love to visit Maine and New Hampshire!!! Thanks for sharing and for visiting Pride in Photos.

ReplyDeletereally wonderful !!
ReplyDeleteWow, such a lovely place=)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots! Like the swirling water especially!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful captures! Amazing how photogenic a little water is!
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I visited Bar Harbor, Maine in May. I took a lot of photographs and haven't posted very many on my blog but will off and on during the next few months. Maine is a place where one can aim and shoot and there is such a calmness and poetic beauty transferred on the image. Lovely, just a lovely state to visit.
