It was a great event, very much agreed. I commuted, which meant I missed a bunch of fun stuff, but got a lot in nonetheless. And it amazed me that I ran into CTN folk everywhere I turned! @Robin and I had a nice chat, @KeithA and I attended both the Becky-and-Reid show and Jean Gerber's poling...

Another new one for me! That all makes sense, thanks Glenn. I've long been a fan of the high quality compacts / point-and-shoots as well. I did a review of the options last fall, after realizing that my previous camera didn't really work in the cold anymore. I'm not sure there's faster options...

Merci bien @Gerald!

Floating strap! Never occurred to me.

Interesting, I'll take a look!

That's simple enough. Do you just handhold it with no strap or wrist lanyard or anything?

Interesting, I had no idea! Do you close the case every time you put the camera away? I ordered one of those from B&H last winter, after I broke through the ice on Squam Lake and took my camera for an unexpected swim. It was too bulky for me, so I returned it.

Thanks everyone!

For example, and for fun, here’s a shot I took while paddling standing up down through the slot between the Jo-Mary Lakes last week. Neat photo, but very much a phone photo.

I’m having trouble figuring out a way that works well for me to manage my camera while canoeing. Partly that’s because I’m often paddling a tandem solo with two dogs in the boat. One of them tends to behave well, one of them is… less predictable. My camera is small (Fuji X-T5 mirrorless) and...

FWIW, Gaia GPS has cell coverage layers as well. The data is reported by the carriers to the FCC, then turned into map layers.

I realized I just started posting and never properly introduced myself, so hi! Belatedly. I grew up along the Connecticut River in Vermont and New Hampshire (the Upper Valley area, as it's known locally), spent a couple decades living on the west coast, and moved back to Vermont a few summers...

I'll be there as well. I believe @KeithA and Micheal from White Rose will be as well. This is my home neck of the woods (both where I grew up and where I live now, again, after a long break), so if anyone has any questions or needs recommendations or anything, just let me know. Looking...

Just after sunset on Lower Jo-Mary last Wednesday, looking west from the beach campsite. Not pictured: my dogs staring at me and thinking, hey two-legs, what’re you doing, don’t we need that thing?

Beautiful photos, looks like a great trip.
