We had the first snowfall down in the valley here. A good occasion to go out once to sun came back.

Cold Morning on the Rhone Valley by Tounis_9, on Flickr
This morning's sunrise, over the Bow River in Banff National Park. When I saw the forecast was -30 C with light clouds, I knew I had to go here since the rocks would be nice and frosty and there would be mist over the water. To my amazement, I wasn't the only crazy one out there --- four other people showed up too!

I am moving to Canada...or maybe not - but the scenery you keep showing us tempts me, great shot!Quote:

Great pic Jonathan really glad YOU took it :)Quote:

When I was done shooting, I spotted my reflection in my car window and thought I should grab one more photo... this time with my cell phone:
Attachment 2075
Awesome! That's a great after shot. The sunrise was pretty good too. :-)
It's been unusually cold in Seattle for several days. As a result the mist from Snoqualmie Falls (about 20 mi. east) is freezing and delivering quite a sight. It was a great excuse to try out my new 10 stop ND.

^^^^^Awesome shot, Patrick. I just bought the Foundation Kit and two adapter rings (77 and 82), plus the three grads (.3,.6,.9) to go with my Big Stopper. I just need to get to the post office to get my package. Hopefully tomorrow.
Thanks Mark :)
Enjoy your delivery! I'd also like to experiment with a holder and some graduated filters at some point.
Really well done Patrick. Looks like tricky lighting.
Thank you. It was a bit tricky. The sun was just above the frame. I tried shading with my hand above the hood but still had a bit of flare to contend with. The mist from the falls was also picking up a bit of the sun, obscuring detail in the rocks. Quite a bit of variation from shot to shot. All good fun! :)Quote:

The snow finally came back this week. I took advantage of my first day of ski to take some pictures. Here is the Mont Blanc again.

Pierre - Another beauty. Thanks for sharing... I love the mountain shots.
Here is a lighthouse at the top of the lower peninsula of Michigan. In the background is the suspension bridge that connects the upper and lower peninsulas. It was taken in October - no time to deal with it until now.

Not the exact same framing....I should try that sometime. But similar.
Thanks for viewing...Brant
Brant:
I really like the last one. I was surprised that you took that with the "M".
I was in a business trip in northern Indiana, so I took a quick ride up to St Joseph, MI to catch the sunset.

Granted, I also like the benefits of FF over a crop sensor, lens selection, etc. Here, my wife and I were headed out to dinner, but I knew I would want a shot of the sunset behind Boston. Taking the 5DIII really wasn't an option so I took the "M". That is the niche it fills for me.
@PatrickH....beautiful scene and a nice job capturing it.
@Pierre...beauty
@conropl....very nice scene and composition.
@Brant....took your wife out to eat? Where, Terminal A food court....what a romantic. LOL Seriously, that side of the airport has tremendous sunset views of BOS. I'm surprised at the 30 second shot w/out a filter....the M does a really nice job.
Ha.....yep...she gets her Sbarro, I get my Panda Express and we happily meet in the middle. That is how I make my marriage work, food court style ;)Quote:

That's where I shot the panoramas – one during the day, one at night, from the same spot with the same settings (except shutter speed) – that I overlaid, gradient blended, then warped into this shot:Quote:

Arches NP by sambisu, on Flickr
Sambisu...I really like that shot. Great detail throughout. It emphasizes the green tint, but that gives it a unique feel that I really like in that I think most other shots I see of arches try to emphasize the reds.
A few I took after a dinner in Portsmouth, NH.

Great shot Mark. Love the blue gray color theme and exposure on the clouds.
I just got back from a trip to Arizona. This was taken above Sedona.....

Brant:
All three look really nice. I am traveling, and can only view with my phone, and they look great. I need to view these beauties large when I get home later.
It looks like you got the right time of night to get that nice night blue sky. Is that the moon rising/setting?
Pat

Thanks Pat. That is a moon setting. These are all photos from day 1 of the trip. A couple more days for me to process. I could go back to Arizona several times before I even come close to running out of scenery to take pictures. A very photogenic State.
One of my daughters just moved to Phoenix, so I think I will be getting an opportunity to see Arizona.:cool:Quote:
