Echo Lake lake lake

Wednesday I went mountain biking. One of my last stops was scenic Echo Lake State Park. Here's a pretty photo of the lake and surrounding scenery.
Traveling light, I opted to remove the battery grip from my camera. I've gotten used to shooting with it for about a year now and it feels strange not using it. I had to rotate this photo quite a bit in post—just over 5°. That might not sound like much, but it is quite a bit. You would have thought I was drunk! I'm not sure why this one was so off, I shot a bunch of others and they were much better. Anyway, I'd recommend getting a vertical, battery grip for your camera if one is available. They're a little pricey and it may not seem like they'd add anything to your photos. However, it affects the way you shoot, in a number of good, and often subtle ways. Plus you can always take it off for whatever reason.
