A 65mm may have been to wide, yes. There seems to be many close up images you could do at this location, so go back and experiment abit! Just make sure you look in the ground glass to see what your photographing and if their is another photographer in the picture! haha!
Sure thing Ryan, I'm going back sooner or later. That 65 is a bear to use, it's an f/8 and you can hardly see anything other than the center of the GG from straight on.
