Bloggers Community Photo Challenge - Water

Water is the next Community Photo Challenge. It so happens Lar and I have just gotten back from a watery vacation. To Lake Kabetogama in Voyageur National Park.  Beautiful country.  We fished every day but only caught one fish and that was just barely a keeper.  We had a relaxing week.
Here's my submission for Water.

Waves lapping at a rock on the lake shore.

 OK.. the boat is a bit small, but perhaps it's destination is the lakeside cabin almost hidden by the tree leaves.

 The cabins at Idlewild Resort, where we stayed.  They're on a cliff over looking the lake.  No air conditioning, but we definitely didn't need it.

Camera Sim or SLR Simulator

There's this really cool web site, where you can test settings on a camera and see how the settings turn out.  It's a nice way to practice taking photos on "Manual" or Aperture/Shutter priority. And a chance to see what those settings do in real time.  Here's the link.....
