Great shooting locations - Vancouver Island, BC

I wish that was my MG... It was just sitting there in a parking lot at a marina.. enough space around it to take the shots (hand held HDR brackets).. what did encroach in the picture was just photoshopped out!
I really wish that there was an equivalent full frame lens to the 10-17 Fisheye.. unfortunately they seem to be DX (crop sensor) lens designs..

Well one thing's for sure that I've encountered in this new hobby of mine is that there are way too many ways to spend money and get new camera toys.

If you have the time and the guts, I would suggest taking on the West Coast trail ...

West Coast Trail Hiking Adventure Vacation - Plan your Tour With Coastal Bliss Adventures

Then again, if you can't make the trek, it is still VERY worthwhile to explore the West Coast of Vancouver Island.

Cheers!

The West Coast Trail is what made me get my K30.

I did the trail this past September, and I saw the most amazing sights. All I had was a crappy point and shoot to record it. When I got back, my garbage pictures made me so furious that I went out and got a DSLR. My research led me to the K30 and its super weather sealing.

JP sounds like a great trip doing the west coast trail. I'm not sure if I'll make it there but definitely the Island is a wonderful place to take all sorts of different photos both on the east and west coast.
