Hi Scott,

Thanks for the input. I agree that variety makes a good slideshow. I am hoping to get some fun angles with the time lapse feature. I also want to capture a few movies and don't want to always be filming from shore, especially at Skookumchuck.

Also thanks for the caution on shore breaks. I need to control my comments while videoing also. Amazing what the camera picks up.

I shot a bunch at Deception Pass today but I will spare the group from looking through raindrops at footage. I will post more when I think I have something worth sharing.

Best,

Reg
