Trip Report: California North Coastal Redwoods
I wasn't sure where to post this, since (for once) we were not boondocking or dry camping, due to now-resolved health issues. But since we spent the whole time on public lands, I figured this was the right forum.
Anyway, here is the blog link -- lots of photos of trees:

As usual, the blog post itself is really too long to post here, but this is a preview:

We are in the lower right corner of the shot, in a patch of sun. This shot was triggered remotely with a radio-controlled shutter button. It sounds fancy, but this is a simple and inexpensive device. It has a range of about 100 feet, making it a better option than setting the timer for ten seconds and running like a madman to get into the shot.
This photo illustrates the one big problem with taking pictures of the redwoods -- there is almost no way to get the whole tree in the shot, and it is very hard to get a sense of scale. (Yes, I admit that those are two different problems.) . Plus the lighting is always tricky. (OK -- three problems.)
