Most of the shots I got on a recent walk to Artist Point near the Mt. Baker ski area were zoomed into the dramatic peaks. These fellow hikers didn't know how well they were posing for me and my tele lens. Recent snow makes the peaks more dramatic.

Some B&W from Artist Point in WA Cascade mountains near Mt. Baker. These were all shot with a Sony A7rII, most with the Sony 100-400mm at 400. I've posted more shots with a comparison of the four cameras I used over in Travelogue. Mt. Baker from Chain Lakes trail, iPhone 3 shots pano stitched...

Artist Point is one of the best photo and easy hiking destinations in Washington's Cascades. Follow directions for the Mt. Baker ski area (which is misnamed because it sits on the lower slopes of Mt. Shuksan and you can only see Mt. Baker at a distance from the top of the chair lifts). Continue...

The day after our autumn wedding in Telluride, Colorado, my wife and I, and a couple of our friends, drove out to the Uncompahgre National Forest in the San Juan Mountains to do some camping as part of our unofficial honeymoon. The next morning I woke early to hike out to a nearby lake for...

This is from of my visits to Sky Pond in Rocky Mountain National Park a month or so ago. On this day it was stormy and very windy. This is after the sunset because I really liked how the clouds were looking. There had been some color earlier, and some kind of cool coloring, but this seems just...

Like Glacier National Park, Glacier Basin in the central Cascades of Washington is loosing it's namesakes. Drone pano Here is the opposite view looking out of the basin down into the valley I hiked and rode my mountain bike up. The dramatic peaks on the left are the Wilman's Spires.

As Amy and I were hiking up to Blue Lakes in Colorado a month ago hikers coming down were telling us that there was a bride coming down from Blue Lakes in her wedding dress. The possibility made light bulbs go off in my head about how cool that could look. So we hiked for a short bit but stopped...

At Sky Pond that is. :) This is from Sky Pond in Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado from a month ago. I made 2 trips up there in like 3 days because the first time up was so windy, the lake never calmed down for any reflections. This trip was much better, and I had some cool clouds. The...

After a little bushwhacking, we were treated to this rarely, if ever, visited location in Glacier National Park. Numerous waterfalls poured down from the massive cliffs that surrounded us, and we scoured the area for hours looking for the perfect compositions. Unfortunately most of the wild...

Monday evening (09-16-2019) I went up Cimarron to check on the progress of the leaves. A nice storm rolled in while I was up there and as it was clearing out I was surprised with a beautiful double rainbow. (Please excuse the composition of the rainbow, I got some better shots but too many...

This was taken on an attempt to traverse from Big Bear to Whitehorse Mt. a few years ago. As far as I know we would have been the first to do it if my crampons hadn't given me a terrible blister on the 2nd day. This was late on the 1st day as we raced the setting sun to the summit of Three...

Drone-Sunrise-1_Pano by Jim Dockery posted Sep 4, 2019 at 5:30 PM Another drone shot from above my house a couple weeks ago. Mt. Pilchuck in center.

A view of the west end of the Grand Mesa. Shooting IR in the evening can be tricky, IR does not fair well with strong shadows...but it you hit it just right, it can be very beautiful. Sony a6300, 590nm

Well, I shot this photo at 15:00 o'clock local time, a very challenging time to shoot but the light wasn't so hard IMHO. I used 2 images for focus stacking and I'm very pleased with the result. I then uploaded it to my Instagram (@levydavish) and surprisingly got a relatively calm response to...

Drone view from above my house this morning. After reading about dealing with noise in photos from my DJI MP2 I took 5 shot bursts today, layered, stacked as smart object, blended with median, flattened, then took the resulting images which were largely free of noise back into PS to stitch in...

Looking east toward Glacier Pk. from the summit of Mt. Pilchuck at sunrise. It was clear when I woke up, but then clouds started forming at summit level until it was socked in a couple hours later.

I was a bit bummed to find a group of young people already camped in Mt. Pilchuck's summit lookout on a Monday evening, but I know a good spot on a side ridge where I headed to drop my sleeping bag. Worked out great in the end - a new perspective, and the kids scrambled out onto the ridge...

Flew the drone for a sunrise view this morning. DJI M2P
