Weird, I looked at it without being signed in.  Stan doesn’t even have a flickr 
account to sign in on to comment.

It appears you don’t have permission to view this album.

Aside from nerding out about the gear, I think I have gotten a few decent 
images with this lens.

Outstanding.  Have always enjoyed your shots of the heavens.  Too much 
light pollution around here to even attempt it.

Thank you, that is Thor’s Well just south of Yachats Oregon. Here are my other 
posted photos of it, some from an outlook several miles away so you can look 
down and see  it in context.  It’s definitely worth a stop.
https://www.flickr.com/search/?user_id=99496143%40N00=date-taken-desc=thor%20well_all=1

Do be careful, on one of my visits I got knocked over by a particularly large 
flood of water, both cameras went into the drink and my 15-30 stopped focusing. 
 I sent it to Precision, they said it had water damage and could not be 
repaired and didn’t charge me, but it was working just fine.  I think that 
banging the lens cap against the rocks might have just knocked a connector 
loose.

It’s a hole in the rocks that connects to a cave and at tides over about +4 
feet waves will push water up the hole, it will spout or flow onto the rocks 
and then flow back down the hole.  On one of my trips I had gone to Devil’s 
punch bowl about half a mile North of there, and within a month or two, two 
different friends posted photos of Thor’s well.

he he - I read  "15-30 photos"  above and wondered why you were not sure 
how many you had...


but yes, more than a few keepers here  and more than one familiar.

Great images, Larry!

I'm sure the lens helps, but it is the photographer that turns out images
like that.

Say, I think I recognize that covered Bridge.  .  .

I don’t have a flicker acct, couldn’t star/fave directly there… 
I am always impressed by the technical expertise needed to get the star shots, 
but the images themselves are usually not my favorite viewing. In this 15-30 
set, what really caught my eye was the next-to-last shot, the waterfall (?)… 
Very nice!

Re: Gallery of 15-30 photos

[Alan C]

Yes, Larry, you certainly have. An excellent gallery. The star shots are 
superb. The lens sharpness is a big factor - I have tried those sort of 
shots with my 18-55 but kave been unable to get anything like those.
