Favorite Photos Taken While Geocaching

[+UMainah]

Figured I'd start up this new subforum. I'm not a professional photographer, not even close. Typically I just have my phone with me, which is poor at taking photos, but it tries.

 

Here are a few of my best low-quality, over-saturated photos I've taken while geocaching (these happen to be taken in instagram).

 

What are some of your favorites?

The baby deer looks so sweet! How did you get so close?

A great cache near the Mississippi River. Had to climb along the bluffs in the background there. Managed not to fall in.

Here's a picture from one of my most recent caching trips:

It's hard to choose what would be a favorite out of over 2500 photos in my gallery. One of the nice things about caching is the opportunity to explore a given area. So after signing a log, my daughter and I went to the top of a rusty crane. While caching in Scotland we looked around Callinish on our way to a cache near one of the sites - or was it the other way around? Earthcaching brought us into the Bisti Wilderness. But just walking along a city street to an urban cache can be interesting.

Some pictures from the portuguese mountains that I miss so much... especially since I moved to the Amazon.

Every time you can, please add the link to the caches on the bottom of the photos, it will make easier for others planning to go there.

One of my favorite pictures I took during an Unknown ? Cache:

 

GC2MT5B - Hitzelsberg - Bonus

That's the way a geocache should be logged!

Wow! Breathtaking!

[+Viajero Perdido]

As photos go, these are a few of my favorites:

 

A keyhole on Mt. Tyrwhitt, Alberta, just uphill from this cache.

 

5:20am, actual un-retouched colors, just a few paces away from a cache that I keep returning to for some reason.

 

We hiked two days hoping for an FTF on this cache, only to find someone had stumbled across it a year earlier and signed in. The place made up for any angst about the missed FTF.

Totally!

Wow, I checked out all the pictures you loaded up for this cache. What a great trip!

Make sure to create a Waymark for the turtle beaver stone in the Simulacra category

Limestone Lake fits perfectly in the Natural Lakes category

[+Viajero Perdido]

Thanks. I posted more pictures to that log than I ever have for a single cache. The place was so gorgeous and all-around fascinating, the pictures practically took themselves.

 

If this place was only a half-day hike instead of two days, it'd be world famous. Now, shhh.

Everyone's photos are amazing! I wish that I could visit all these places!

 

This one was from GC542FQ

 

I found this little patch of plants whiel attending a CITO

 

Here's one from an earthcache. This picture was taken at the site of an earthcache, but I took it on a seperate day, and attatched it to a DNF log from a puzzle cache I couldn't find.

 

Climbed this tree then fed the birds.

 

This one was from the winter. I kinda like it.

 

Big waterfall earthcache of mine!

 

Any other photography of mine can be seen here

SSB Ft McHenry National Monument & Historic Shrine

 

Kind of a serendipitous experience of getting to the cache late in the afternoon, and getting the opportunity to help fold the replica "Star Spangled Banner" at Fort McHenry where the inspiration of the National Anthem was conceived.

Underside of the Rte 3 bridges over the Hackensack River, Secaucus, NJ. I found this quite intriguing!

I took this photo last weekend from a cache that I had just DNFd.

Yesterday morning, Geocache GC2VBRE "Zwei-Seen-Blick"

 

[+droolingl3p3r]

This is one of my favorite spots to visit and it just so happened to snow the night before. It's next to this cache GC1BP8C "Totuskey Revisited"

This was in Zions National Park

 

Just divine!

I am loving this thread. There are some really spectacular places that make me want to run out the door and see......

I so agree! It gives me super itchy feet.....

The children take muggle watch duty very seriously

I love a good, wild beach!

[+lumbricus]

Last Friday I hosted an event to introduce Geocachers to Waymarking GC5XCW6 . The event location was near the lake at a nice beach bar. After about one hour this wonderful scene came up.

Walking over to My Squared Stars, and a chance to check on this Invisible Bike.

Somewhere along the way in Jasper, AB, in the rocky mountains, the StellaBailey, and a friend of ours.

Found this lake / spot while looking for Leach Lake

I was thinking of the diifference between the photos I have taken in the wilderness -- primarily earthcaching or virtuals - and photo opportunities in more urban settings. Both have their place. That brought to mind when my daughter and I went out to the SS Red Oak Victory and enjoyed seeing an old crane next to the cache location. There were no fences. No signs that said keep off. The next thing I knew, my daughter was climbing to the top. Of course I had to follow her to make sure she was safe. Although I have explored many abandoned places, this was the only crane that I have climbed. Since then, they have fenced in the crane. So the pictures I took there remain some of my favorites while geocaching.

I took this photo just before a tornado touched down nearby.

 

 

This is of a cave not far from where I live.

On the way back I was on top of the Cup and Saucer and was lucky enough to witness this:

Surfing the forum instead of working, and these shots make me want to bag out early and go hiking!

Ack, I've never found that cache, even though I drive by it all the time. But we're always in a hurry. I've been up the hill twice - once before caching, and once to dnf the cache that existed just before this one when it had gone missing before being archived.

 

It calls to me, but never calls to my driving companions, unfortunately.

I'm currently in a photography class in my school, and have picked up some skills. Mostly rule of thirds, ISO, brightness, leading lines, and distance. Your photos have good framing and contrast. Your leading lines also do good at framing the focal point. Here are a few of my best photos taken near caches. One of them even got a round of applause from my classmates when doing peer reviews.

One of my Caches had to be moved due to flooding and safety of cachers. The Cache would be 3 feet below the current water level. Whole trees are going down the Middle Fork of the Snoqualmie.

Some good memories from a November visit to the last Ape Cache in rural São Paulo.

 

 

Bovine Nelore cattle.

 

 

A plethora of lakes in the park.

 

 

Some rustic lodges too...

How do I post photos . I dont see any add picture icons

How do I post photos . I dont see any add picture icons

 

You need to have your photo lodged anywhere.

 

Normally I use Image Shack or TinyPic, but if you have your desired picture in the logs Gallery, just click in it with the right button of the mouse and save the URL.

After that, use the little picture icon above this dialog box and paste the obtained URL.

We found this happy tree while grabbing some smilies of our own at a park. Also a small rock sculpture we found near a cache.
