I would have loved to have seen the camera and the lens for that first one. Probably not a 35mm or anything less than a 400 lens...<br />On my way home after a great birthday weekend.<br />LaValleLaValle Linnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16056523295882982732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-296846184692454351.post-39303784320635070392009-12-13T16:43:44.468-08:002009-12-13T16:43:44.468-08:00My guess is that is Lost Lake, and the reason it&#...My guess is that is Lost Lake, and the reason it's ethical is because if you shot me from behind I would look larger too.Amynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-296846184692454351.post-34813764294220809322009-12-11T23:13:38.369-08:002009-12-11T23:13:38.369-08:00Why is it that Mount Hood from Portland looks larg...Why is it that Mount Hood from Portland looks larger than the shot near the trees.
