RE: Blackbeard Island, Georgia

Thanks,

The beach is actually a wildlife management area... no people!
except an occasional crazy photographer and his wife:

The pond in the middle is full of alligators, and I hear there
are lots of rattle snakes, though I didn't see them! Part of the
island has profusion of cypress trees lying on the beach, which
the locals call "the bone yard". Pretty cool place!

This camera is capable of very "sharp" (by pinhole standards)
images, when you use the correct pinhole with the corresponding
focal length. I am experimenting with using mismatched pinhole
aperatures and focal lengths, however, to see how this affects
sharpness, blur, etc.

Very nice Jeff. Very quiet. (I'm impressed that you found a beach in the
US without footprints.) But then to get the cooperation of those Cyprus
roots - very cool. I wouldn't even know it was pinhole if it weren't for
the smooth transition from the shore to the water.

Then I hit your "back" link and the pleasure continued. You have a very
nice collection of images, each one holds up well on its own.

congratulations and thanks for sharing,

Gregg
