After seeing Kyle's great shots at Heart Lake I had to stop by on my way south to meet friends in Yosemite. I didn't have clouds as nice as his, but sure enjoyed it - great bang for the buck hike. Clouds build in the evening The mountain emerges for a bit. Sunrise I Sunrise II

I was on a walk near my house when I saw some nice light on Whitehorse Mt. to the north. I hurried home, grabbed my tripod and long lens and got this shot. In this B&W version it's all the other layers that make the final result.

The Focus this Friday is on B&W Trees or Forests. So please add your B&W Trees to this thread. I will start with a few from Colorado that I took in a May snow storm yesterday up on the I-70.

Hey guys! Here is one taken few weeks ago on my trip to the north, after shooting mount Tabor(pronounced Tavor) me and Levi's gang found a blooming Almonds orchard, i have only one image that i am kinda ok with, from the orchard itself, but quite a few from a group of trees across the road, here...

I did a quick hike up to Lake 22 in the Cascades near my house yesterday. A well packed trail meant I didn't need snowshoes, but micro-spikes were very nice for the icy descent. I brought the drone and got a great view over the ridge and up to the summit of Mt. Pilchuck. Lake Outlet, Sony...

I could only see a sliver of Big Four from the road, but with a drone the views open up.

I started off trying to shoot some video flying along the creek into the sun, but got too much glare, so I went up for a look down.

The snow wasn't great, but we got a good work-out, and some nice views when the clouds parted on a ski tour yesterday near Stevens Pass, WA.

Hey guys! I am pleased to embrace change, both in business/personal life as well as photography. After watching few exciting videos on the tube, it got me motivated. So i managed to shoot few sunrises, (never happened before), and some change in scenery, images will follow, so here are 2 from...

Was an extremely foggy morning, this was captured just as the fog was lifting.

Unseasonably warm weather wasn't good for our normal x-skiing so my wife and I checked out the snow free, low elevation, Heybrook Ridge trail near the town of Index WA. A very pleasant easy 2 miles through 2nd growth forest leads to a good view of Mt. Index (which was in shade when we got there...

So I loved the pine so much that I took different angles of it. CC welcome.

I love winter and black and white. Grand Canyon CC welcome!

The light on the golden tree at the river's bend attracted me to this spot in the first place. I worked many angles looking for compositions (the boon & bane of droning), this was my favorite. Mavic Pro 2 It seems a few members have or are getting drones. Hopefully some of you will start...

While hiking through the woods today at Ridway State Park, I found myself surrounded by our woodland friends. They didn't seem to care that I was there or not. These two were the most captivating of the group. He's sticking his tongue out at me :p

My shadow at the top of one of my favorite backcountry ski runs near Stevens Pass, WA. This was a perfect crisp day with no wind and good snow. A couple runs down pristine slopes like this makes a backcountry day so much more aesthetically enjoyable than fighting for powder at a ski area. Hoping...

Sand Harbor is on the Northeast Nevada side of Lake Tahoe and is a popular spot for photographers at sunset. From my experience, I can see why.
