    Wow, These photo's are amazing.
    I can't get over the amout of detail and color in each of them.
    I am struggling with colors so much. They just arn't poping out like these.
    Your fisrt two are so clear you really feel you are right there.
    I haven't had much luck getting great photo's up on the mountains near my camp. I suspect your lens is prob worth more than my camera though..lol

    Hey thanks guys. A lot of it is just sheer "seat time" as we used to call it in driving school. It took a bit to get used to digital after 20 years of film, but now I think I've got the hang of it and how to expose to manage the dynamic range. Then it's just a matter of processing the raw file a bit to bring it in line with the picture in my brain.

    Funny you should bring up lenses BroMiCs. A lot of people overlook them when they're starting out, but glass is a huge part of a good photo. I kinda sorta splurged on the lens I have, but it's worth it since it hardly ever leaves the camera. Sharp, with very little distortion and accurate color rendition; an all around gem that I suspect I'll use for years. Good lenses are worth every prenny.

    Thanks everyone for the kind words. It makes the ass kicking all the more worth it.

    to be honest, the views from the top don't do much for me... but i love shooting "microscapes", and i'd come home with a lot more shots from the trail than anything from the top...

    On any other hike I'd agree with you, but this hike is long and difficult and so wasn't really condusive to both photography and completion. You can check out this Gallery for microscapes galore. : D

    I like the last one with the person at the top. really gives a sense of scale to the climb and the steepness.

    I thought maybe it was a park ranger waiting to read you the riot act. The photos make me want to hike that trail, even if it does kick my ass. Lovely series.

    Thanks.
    Nope. I've never actually seen a ranger in the WMNF before, but I think they do exist.
