Very impressed,

Beautiful photo Doc :) I'm jealous, not only do you take beautiful photos and have skill and vision, you have some seriously nice gear too. Thanks for sharing :cool:

Thank you, Jared! It was a magical evening with the mist rolling in and the light hitting the mountain and clouds in just the right way. I have a 36 x 36 inch print of this shot hanging on my wall...the detail is amazing! :)

Thank you, Leon! Fortunately the sales from my prints have helped defray the cost of my equipment significantly. :)
thapamd 05-19-2005, 11:11 PM That's the Mahesh I know and love -- thank you yet again for joining PR and sharing your awesome talent here. :D
My Very Best to You,

P.S. Another of my favorite landscape photogs is Buck Forester aka Brian Ernst. I'm sure you know him Mahesh. He's got a crazy wonderful personality to go along with his photog talent. Some of his shots can be viewed here (http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=309451). You shoot digital and Buck/Brian shoots Velvia -- but both of you shoot awesome.
Thanks, Penny! Glad to be here. Yes, I'm familiar with Buck's stuff...a very talented and gifted photographer. :)

Gorgeous capture!
Beautiful light!
Thanks for sharing.
Old Timer 05-20-2005, 04:44 AM Outstanding image!! Thanks for sharing your talent with us. It is very humbling to see such a majestic site and you have depicted it beautifully. Glad to have you as a part of our community. Please share more.
has to be one of your virtues. It seems to me your images are always shot at the "perfect time" and moment. It takes a lot of patience and talent and vision to capture images like you've managed to do.
This is another striking image - it's almost breathtaking even on the computer! ;)
I'll never see it in person. This is very close. Thanks for posting it here.

Thank you, Old Timer. Rainier is such a beautiful site...I'm amazed every time I encounter her upclose. I'm more than happy to bring her beauty to you and this community.

Thank you, Liz! If I could tell you some of my stories about photography, you'd amazed. Let me share one, at least. Yellowstone NP is about a 13 hr drive from Seattle. During a 3 day weekend I drove to Yellowstone, saw that the weather was cr@ppy and drove right back. I did 26 hrs worth of driving in about 28 hrs...breaks for gas and food. :)
Anywho...I'm happy you liked the picture...Rainier really is beautiful no matter when you look at her, but under the flattering early/late light, she is, as you mentioned, breathtaking! :)
