Post your best Landscape...

[conropl]

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

Off topic, I (and likely most of us hanging around here) can really understand your reasoning, but less photography-interested people may find us strange: "When I saw the forecast was -30 C with light clouds, I knew I had to..."
A) "...stay inside and try to find my thickest socks."
B) "...go outside really early before the temperature rises and use no (or thin) gloves."
C) "...light up the fireplace and stay close to it."

I would vote for "B". I love winter sunrises.

Well done Jonathan.

Thanks for the chuckles! --- I'm sure there are times when we've all been considered by non-photographers to be a few fries short of a Happy Meal. I think of Sean's photo shoot in the barn, as an example. But these are the times where the best shots, and the best memories, are made.

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:

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.

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!

Two pictures taken this weekend on Réunion island.

The first I'm quite happy with. 500D, 70-200 F/4 IS @ 1/4000, F/4, 200 mm ISO1600


The second while not very well framed or exposed does have a fun moment of "oh there was a bird in the hole in the clouds" when looking through the pictures in the evening. 500D, 17-55 F/2.8 IS @ 1/4000, F/3.2, 42 mm, ISO 1250
