There will be pics

…but until then I bid you all adieu.

first thing I saw when I walked out the front door this morning. I love coming to this place….

Half an hour later, that big ridge in the back got swallowed. The range is called The Raggeds, BTW. The top of the range is ~13000ft.

Dude. That last is just…awesome to behold. Woof.

[chupathingie]

well, thanky! Here’s the full view of that cloud gobbling up the ridge. The ridgeline is roughly a couple miles long.

Even better! This would make an awesome picture above a doorway.

God Damn

Wednesday night’s campsite… Meadow Lake is up at about 9100ft, and another alpine lake is upslope by a couple hundred feet to the right. The peak in the background is about 10600ft. We hiked up to about 10000ft before clouds and thunder rolled in. I’ll pass on the struck-by-lightning thing, TYVM…

Welcome to Wyoming.

Finally getting around to looking at all the card dumps on my pc. Found one I like SOOC… seriously; default CR2-16bit tif conversion in raw therapee then resized and spit out as a jpg with image majick. I shot bracketed, but I really don’t know if the other 2 exposures are worth doing anything with! 😆

Welcome to Wyoming.

They still look a little skinny. Give ’em till november and they’ll do quite nicely next to the mashed potatoes.

Awesome photos, too.

w00T! Fist night of clear skies all vacation! 44 minutes’ exposure. The yellow glow is Salt Lake City’s light pollution (150 miles away, no less), the smeared shadows are the landscape rotating as the camera tracks the stars and the rest of that stuff in the middle is the central bulge of the galaxy we live in.

Now THAT is an awesome shot, chupa! Not that the others weren’t (your Wed night’s campsite shot gave me second thoughts about Jamaica vs. wilderness camping, but that’s moot thinking at this point), but this one – wow!

[chupathingie]

Thanks! 🙂 I’m headed back out there tonight, clouds willing, for a tighter series (this was 24mm f4, gonna do another of a smaller area at 70-100mm with the f2.8 glass…)
