outabounds: Is there a story or tradition behind "the orb" that I don't know about?
It's what I do when the clouds screw up my view of the mountain or the stars, or when I get bored and shoot in the back yard.Quote:

It is pretty much my walk-around lens now on the 5D Mk II.

My favorite shot from the weekend. I turned around to look back at my partner and noticed the late afternoon light was perfectly illuminating our entire route to the ridge below Black Peak (which we climbed).

Didn't mean to get the seagull in the shot. In hindsight I wished I upped the ISO and cranked my shutter speed to freeze the little fucker in the air. oh well, there's always tomorrow. Who am I kidding, I won't be awake at this time tomorrow!

It's a great sky. Sometimes nature does the work.
gebster-those are sweet pics
I'd like to thank my bag for saving me this morning...
Linhof Super Technika 23. I haven't put any film through it yet but I'm planning on taking it with me this weekend for some night shooting.Quote:

2nd image was at about 3am, which is why the sky is so dark. I love AK summers but always start missing normal dark nights this time of of the year.
I went to see some shows in Calgary last weekend. Here's a couple of pictures:

Another amazing Sierra sunset photo from my trip up to Lee Vining Canyon earlier in the month

I can’t believe how interesting the colors were and how lucky I got with timing of diner at the Mo Mart Gas Station and then sitting around for 20 minutes on one of the campground turnouts along the 120. Sat there waiting and wondering if the clouds were going to do something magical with the color or was I wasting my time. I’m glad I stuck it out, because it sure wasn’t a waste of time.
ohhh... I really like that one! very cool.
Ditto. Nice job supermodel!Quote:
