#1:
Shot this on my birthday recently high in the Rockies... it was an awesome day.



And, obviously, this is straight out of the camera and I can't even really see what it looks like () but the histogram looks okay. Bright sun and hotel parking lot are to blame.

#2:
This was shot in a slot canyon in the wilderness of southern Utah. Amazingly, I was the only soul (as far as I could tell) that went to this beautiful place that day... it required a pretty intense drive, a good deal of route-finding, then a 20-foot or so scramble/climb to get there/get inside. So, that might have been part of it. But, it was incredible to say the least.



And, yes, that shot was hard as **** to do with only 10 seconds.

#3:
This was shot around 12000' on Mt. Whitney in the eastern Sierras. About 5 minutes later a climbing ranger suggested I turn around since it was "getting pretty gnarly up top". I heeded the advice and started my descent going most of the way with him.



Hope everyone is doing good.

I love me some Rocky Mountain Highs, man I miss (parts of) Colorado.

Happy day of birth there, young un!

great pic. Hope your trip is going well.

In the words of DANIEL, awesome dude.

Thanks, guys. It's been a pretty cool trip so far... nothing too spectacular, just lots of adventures, decent photos, and great people along the way.

I got one for you then, Ted. It's already titled "Rocky Mountain High" in my head. You'll know it when you see it. Once I get home I'm actually going to put a 20x30 of it on my own wall.

Hotel, eh? I thought you were roughing it, Bear Grills style.

Yeah, cause he roughs it.

If I actually HAD a hotel room, don't you think I'd be using the wireless indoors and not in the parking lot?

Hotels are the #1 traveling wireless hotspot.

And, I just spent last night freezing to death in 15* weather at 8500' with 8 inches of fresh snow this morning, get off my case. (and before anyone says it, YES, I could have been comfortable if I wasn't in a 40* bag)

Bump for another shot!

wow, scott. amazing shots and even more amazing locations!

Happy b-day (2 days ago)

The first shot looks great. #2 is pretty good, but your sleeve is completely blown out. J/K man.
Can't wait to see the best of the crop when you get them processed.

Thanks, dude. I've found a couple of awesome places, the Rockies were my favorite so far though. I just love high mountains and snow... hence why I'm loving being in the Sierras right now.

Thanks, Shawn. I've got a few good ones so far, I think.

I like the new shot, you must've had to pull some spiderman moves to get back into position

I'd like the second one better if you hadn't had to take it with that strange looking read headed guy in it.

Good stuff, can't wait to see more.

It's OK. I'm kidding.

Added a new shot (#3).

SNOW the other 4 letter word

I absolutely love snow.

I bet you wouldn't if you lived where I live.

I like it for about 3 months, but our winters get too cold and too long.

Freakin awesome!

I'm cold..

Nice shot dude, nice to see you shooting some with you in them.

me too! But only if I don't have to hike down on it.

I like these pics.

The slot canyon looks a bit washed out to me in the pp - not sure if you care but I think it'd be cooler if it was a bit redder like real life.

Thanks, guys! I'm up to the central Oregon coast now. Should be fun to shoot something completely different for the next few days,

Thanks, Jay. There's no PP on any of these, just re-size/web sharpening. So, yeah, they'll be better when I do real versions of some of them.

Wow, that's some seriously white looking landscape in your most recent shot.

Plus, your red hair will be cooler too.
