Based on the RMNP ski guidebook I have, that line is ridiculous. Narrow, steep, long, aesthetic. Huge cornice on top, tight choke.

Taken tonight of the sunset from just down the street... same mountains as in my picture above, just from about 25 miles further back.

Another one from yesterday's sunset. I am a HUDGE fan of the Canon 70-300L, it's such a versatile and sharp piece of glass.

^Love the pictures of the big planes, very cool.
That B 29 flew over us this morning while we were barefooting. Cool ride! They say it is the only one left actively flying right now. Didn't have my long lens along (:
Red Bull Flugtag is going down in Portland today

I captured this lightning shot off the deck with the awesome neused 10-22 EFS I purchased from Uglymoney.

^Nice! I'm happy it found a good home - that lens is sweet. BTW tried to send you tracking info etx but your pm's were full :eek:
10-22 is an amazing wide angle zoom. Hopefully you have the 17-55 as well.Quote:

Yep, great shot! I love the color and the composition.
Just picked up the Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary for an upcoming Africa trip, trying to lighten my gear for travel. Initial shots at the store were very impressive and they just now are starting to stock them. For a $1000 supertelephoto this is a great lens. Tried the tamron version a few months ago and promptly returned it.

My photography is a passionate hobby, I make money but it is not my main job, yet. My goal has been to put together a nice wildlife portfolio in which going to Africa has become a bad addiction. I enjoy shooting on my own terms and hope I will eventually find a niche.Quote:

John, your wildlife photography is right up there with the pros, and better than many of them.Quote:

Thank you Fuzz for the nice compliment! It's all just good fun looking for the next photo op.Quote:
