Scenes from Panuke Lake, Nova Scotia

[Matt K.]

Nice set indeed, Iggy. Love the falls and the fiddle head. I find fishing with a camera much more rewarding than with a pole. Once you eat the fish, it's gone, but the images live forever.

Nice set there Iggy! I like that first one.

Thanks, Matt.

Amazing nature-themed photos. It is such a good scenery. I like the Halls Falls photo which creates a magical illusion of something.

Very nice set Iggy. Really like the Christmas Fern, and the mound of Rock Caps in the second shot.
Love this time of year when the forest is covered with these and everything looks more fresh than any other time of year. These are actually making me hungry. We have a forest full of the very edible Ostrich Ferns. Also, the Cat-tails will be fresh for eating, along with Morels, Wild asparagus, Wild Leeks, Ginger, Marigolds, etc. etc. Time for a walk in the woods.

Thanks, John.

Thanks, HBG. I guess I'm more used to getting my food from the grocery store

Nice set Iggy.
That first shot of the fiddleheads reminds me of when I was young (many, many years ago), my mom would cook fiddleheads as part of dinner. I assume this is what she was cooking.
As for the falls, how long an exposure was that picture. Did you use an ND filter.

mmm love fiddleheads but don't have enough confidence to pick them- I buy them at the market.
Great shots Iggy!

Yes, as I always say, if you have any doubt at all, don't try it. Some will do you no good at all, and are actually carcinogenic, (cancer causing). My favourite, and our most plentiful, are Ostrich Ferns, which is "The Fiddlehead Fern", in actuality.

I am fortunate enough to have a husband that grew up on eating everything under the sun from the wild, and I myself have a Horticulturist Degree, so between us both we are pretty confident in our wild edible choices.
It's pretty funny how lots of people will not eat at our house unless they actually see us take an un-opend package from the store and prepare it in front of them . If they only knew. Check out MAW's post in Off-topic titled Monsanto if you wish.
Not trying to be a smart-a$$, just trying to warn people that all is not as it seems sometimes. So please play it safe when it comes to picking what you may think as edibles in the wild. Don't want to lose any of my "Photo Family" from this site.

Thanks, asnow.

I used my nifty-fifty (50mm f1.8 prime) @ f22 on ISO 100 with an ND8 filter giving me an exposure time of 1 second.

Thanks, Bambi
