Photography fun: Aerial tram (part one)

Oy vey. Did I ever flub this photography outing. This lady got much better results. I arrived a bit early so I hung out at the platform and took a couple pictures around the area. (Hence, the tram and light shots.) When Rachele arrived we moved out to the viewing deck and set up our tripods. I do not have a wireless remote nor did I bring my DX zoom lens. I should have bought a wireless remote and brought my lens as I felt pretty limited and very much uninspired (as evidenced by the things I took pictures of - leaves, really? Really?). How depressing is it that the haze around the mountain is most likely pollution. As Rachele noted in her post, the tram's operating hours put a damper on our ability to play too much as it was just starting to get dark when we had to pack up our things to catch the last ride down. I shall go back and shoot another day when I have a zoom lens (or a fixed focal length lens that works better in this circumstance than the 50mm I shot with) and it is dark outside and I have a wireless remote.

That settles it. You'll just have to go back, and bring me. :)
