Really nice rapids. What's the story about covering the viewfinder? I have the little cover but never thought to use it for anything.

Thanks. With the sun coming through the clouds off and on it was a little difficult to get what I wanted.

Thanks. I never really thought about them as quicksilver but I can see that.

I was using the self timer on the camera so my eye wasn't covering the viewfinder. As it turns out light can get in through the viewfinder and trick the sensor into thinking that there is more light than there is.

Thanks Vinnie. The general consensus so far is that the first one is the best.

Well I don't know about being Pooh's hero, I believe that I was the reason that he went up there. I did forgot to bring the honey with us. Thanks for looking and commenting.
