Carvebeast, GrizzlyEnton, and I went exploring on Beech Saturday. It was fun. Hiked Southern Star a few times then rode down the road on the backside of the mountain.

Parkway was a winter wonderland.

Hiking up.

Looking down Southern. Windloaded in a lot of spots.

Rode down the side of the road. Got a little tow when I hit flat areas.

For a Sunday recap, look at the First Trax article from today.

I could tell they were sharp, and definitely not iPhone :D

I've had good experience with the low light/auto stablization feature. Make sure you have the camera flash set to Auto, and HDR turned on. It's best for Sunset/Sunrise when you don't want to wash out the background with the flash.

But other than that, it can be cumbersome when trying to snap a quick pic and it makes you hold still for exposure. Also - after using that feature, open the picture up in the studio and use the auto enhance to make the picture pop even more.
