I returned to the area this summer: this is the same ridge in profile, and from a more humble location. And so is this, from the opposite side. 此照片有照片注释或者 Portal 链接。请移动鼠标到照片上查看。评论 ~bear 1 年 ago: Oh wow. Love the blue tones. Really nice. 讨论 peterderooij 1 年 ago: Thanks! True colour! This has been one of my favourite pictures for over 22 years (OMG!) now. ~bear 1 年 ago: I just noticed the tag and thought wait what?? 1986. I can see why it's a favorite. peterderooij 1 年 ago: Took long enough to get around to scan it:-) Gotta do some more now... 参与讨论 slowdncr 1 年 ago: I too can see why it's remained a favorite. What are you using to scan your slides. I have boxes full. 讨论 peterderooij 1 年 ago: Thanks! I borrowed a friend's Nikon Coolscan 4000 ED (thanks Kristine!). Scanned only this one so far, but am impressed. Slow though (1 by 1, and a scan is about a minute or so). Gotta get back to my boxes... peterderooij 1 年 ago: I now know what slow means: I got about 20/h, for scanning only. Add to that your normal editing (or much more, if they are in bad shape). Faster than I thought at first, and practice (or lower quality scans) will improve upon it. 参与讨论 Ian Cowland 1 年 ago: I know it's bandied about, but WOW! 讨论 peterderooij 1 年 ago: Thanks! 参与讨论 proudmommy 1 年 ago: You ACTUALLY HIKED this???? IN THE SNOW??? WOW!!!! I am a BIG BABY when it comes to snow! 讨论 peterderooij 1 年 ago: Yes, I did. Unforgettable. If I were fit and current in climbing technique I'd do it again any time. Anyway, imagine the trail - you can follow it over the ridge (you can just make it out). And there is more ahead (behind me in the pic), this is less than half of it. I'll post some more later. 参与讨论 humbertoadriano 1 年 ago: Wow Peter, it is an incredible shot. The light and blue tone are beatiful. The climbers and the trace they left in the snow are the cherry in the cake! Congrats! 讨论 peterderooij 1 年 ago: Thanks! 参与讨论 peterderooij 1 年 ago: On revisiting I think I left it a bit too blue. Slightly improved version at JPG Magazine. 要开始讨论吗？ flwrgrl 1 年 ago: I am SOOOOO afraid of heights - even this photo makes me woozy!! ; P It's an incredible shot though! 讨论 peterderooij 1 年 ago: Thanks! Probably not recommended to try this then - between 1000 and 2000ft down, if I remember well:-) flwrgrl 1 年 ago: Yeah - I think I'll pass on this - I had trouble tonight my step stool while decorating the tree which is only 9ft. ; P 参与讨论 cberengu1 1 年 ago: Peter all the images in your stream are Faves, and lots of them need a much higher rating ! 讨论 peterderooij 1 年 ago: Thanks! But actually I am quite happy with the way it's going. To me, the most important thing about faves is that it helps me in my editing process: are the ones I like best really the best? (Sometimes I disagree with the community, and will stick to that, and faves are a bit random, but it does help.) And of course, recognition is nice too:-} proudmommy 1 年 ago: okay.. so now you need to update your labels... this one needs a Fav20 and Fav30 (IMHO)! :) peterderooij 1 年 ago: Nahh, I'm lazy. I'll search for the awards instead (all my fav20's have the Fave20 award). 参与讨论 Jyves 1 年 ago: Wow, fantastic. I want to snowboard there! 讨论 peterderooij 1 年 ago: Thanks! And wow, you must be one extreme snowboarder! Very steep, very deep. 参与讨论 Ollie 1 年 ago: Wow - looking at the newer photo of the same mountain, there's noticeably less snow now! I guess that's the price of global warming. Shame though, it's a beautiful mountain & it looks like you captured it amazingly! 讨论 peterderooij 1 年 ago: Thanks! Luckily most of the difference in snow levels is due to the angle and position of the newer pictures. 参与讨论 Jyves 8 月, 4 周 ago: Hey Peter, I'll probably go on big mountains in May. What lenses do you bring on such occasions? 讨论 peterderooij 8 月, 3 周 ago: I only took a 28-70mm zoom (35mm slide) for this, and currently, I use a 17-85mm (digital 1.6 crop). For my purposes that's enough (95%+) -- I rarely want longer or wider than that. And weight is a consideration... Finally, on this climb, there were very few places where I'd be able to change lenses. 参与讨论 RJ 3 月, 2 周 ago: Incredible! 讨论 RJ 3 周, 6 天 ago: Every single time I see this picture I'm staring at it at least few minutes. I wish to be there. peterderooij 3 周, 6 天 ago: and me... thanks! 参与讨论 farrrka 3 月 ago: wow i cant' believe my eyes Canon T1i 要开始讨论吗？ sanrdeq 2 月, 1 周 ago: exciting pi, just wonderful shot commented by Tag heuer watches 要开始讨论吗？ alslal 1 月, 1 周 ago: iu huuuuuuuuuuuu commented by Canon G11 \|Canon T1i \|Canon XS\| chaise lounge \| 要开始讨论吗？ Want to post a comment?
