Ah, yes Jim. Liquid light! Great stuff and Bruce's article is a good one. I have the one from his book.

Truly stunning David. The contorted forms of the rock layers and the powder snow finish directs my eyes all over the image and the atmospheric conditions worked out really well. Very well done.

Dear David,

Great image...

Captured at a fabulous time of day.

Dear Group,

Another image I found from the past...

This area, near Kananaskis Provincial Park's southern boundary, is open to free range cattle ranching, where cattle call sounds echo continuously among the trees, and the foothills. The park's southern boundary presents a very different atmosphere, compared to the balance of the park. The Alberta and British Columbia border follows the mountain top ridge...

Clouds over Woodlawn, Ontario - the view from the end of my laneway. Grafelx 1/4 plate Super D, old brass projection lens I bought for a $ at a flea market, Efke PL100 sheet film, red filter, 1/300 at wide open (?f4) I like the soft effect this old lens gives.

I like that a lot, Jim; when I first looked at it I thought you had captured a star wars freighter that had crashed headfirst into the Canadian tundra, leaving only the smoking engine cowlings visible :-)

Many thanks for all the positive comments on the photograph posted earlier; here is another from the Bernese Oberland, taken a little earlier in the afternoon than that one;

I apologise in advance if this is too large - I can't find a smaller size that looks sensible.

I apologise in advance if this is too large - I can't find a smaller size that looks sensible.

I wish it was even larger, so I could see this image "more real"... and I wish I had a larger monitor. This tiny screen on the Macbook is not cutting it.

I love the huge sky. Sometimes being in the mountains lets me see how huge the sky is, this image captures something of that.

Thank you for showing these wonderful pictures!

Wow, David, that last one is fantastic. I think it is my favorite of all your recent ones. The sky is nice, and I just like the geometry of those peaks, which the light brings out nicely.

Not as dramatic, but this is one of our local peak, Mount McLaughlin. It kind of gets lost, being between Mt. Shasta, the Three Sisters (near Bend) and Mount Hood. The lake is Klamath Lake, the largest lake in Oregon. This shot is taken with the Fuji 400T from a ridge above the east side of the lake.

Great images everyone...

An image from the past, captured after a brief summer snowfall, while a top the summit of Mount Standish. The image looks south into British Columbia showing three tarns in the foreground, where Rock Isle Lake is to the left, Larts Lake is at the lower elevation, and a smaller unnamed tarn is right center. A larger tarn, called Grizzly Lake, is a few meters outside the framed image to the right. The Alberta and British Columbia boundary happen to be beneath my tripod's legs, along the summit's ridge.
