Reelfoot Lake

Has anybody been to Reelfoot Lake in NW TN? It is 11 miles long, formed in 1811 by a major earthquake. It was filled by the Mississippi River, which is no longer connected (it moved). Daniel Boone said he climed a tree and watched it being created.
I finally got a mirrorless camera, Canon R, and for these shots I just took one lens (Canon EF 17-40 F4 L). I do see a difference with full frame, after many years of the 650D Canon (Ti4 Rebel). The pics look right on my monitor, but may be a bit dark here--didn't feel like tuning them up, but there is plenty of leeway there.)
The lake is wooded with Cypress trees, which grow along the shore and in the water itself. These pictures were taken a few weeks ago. The State Park is in a Federal wildlife refuge that extends into Kentucky close to my house over the River, and it has lots of eagles to see in winter.

If you had stored the images, we might point to something about the images that explains the differences in the colors you're seeing.

It would show 'download' if the attachment was stored. Remember too the Photo Gallery.

One of the photos was first edited in the Hasselblad software, and they use TIFF, so it was saved as TIFF from raw. Those have a bit different look... don't know whether it is any better or worse. Sometimes I think TIFF is a better look, sometimes not.

TIFF is a storage format. As a storage format, it has nothing directly to do with how the image displays on a website. Colorspace and pixel resolution are the only relevant factors for the image display on UHH, as well as most anywhere else online.

I've been there! Beautiful place! And I remember hearing that about Daniel Boone too.

.My Dad and I had many great times fishing at Reelfoot Lake back in the 60’s. The south end of the lake had all the dead cypress trees cut just below lake level. Boats were made with reversed oars and they had lawnmower size gasoline engines. The propeller came out back of boat protected with an underlying steel “shoe” to shield prop from underwater stumps. The southern part of lake was great for crappies. The northern part of lake was full of bass. However, the dead cypress trees were left intact and full size. Water moccasin snakes thrived in the trees and could drop into your boat. It was not very relaxing fishing with threat of getting bitten by poisonous snakes. Crappy fishing was fabulous. One morning we went through 10 dozen minnows in “2 hours”. We usually ate at the Blue ‘Star’ Cafe. Lots of grease and hush puppies. Wonderful memories with my Dad!!

Blue Star or Blue Bank? The Bluebank has now added a Butterfly Garden. We ate at Gooch's for years, then ate at Boyette's after Gooch's closed. Best onion rings in the world!!!

Nice shots. Living in South Fulton, we used to go to Boyette's there about twice a month for lunch. Oh those onion rings. Dottie who owned Lakeview Restaurant was one of our best sausage, ham and bacon customers. I probably have thousands of pictures from there...lots of eagles and other birds.
