I saw your name as a re-post to this thread and as I clicked I was hoping that you'd have posted another photo. There are some great shots here, but that Billie is outstanding in my book.

Steve, thanks for the nod. I really enjoy playing with non-typical, contrasty lighting tones, especially in monochromes. Do you still do B&W pieces? I'd love to see some. We should start a thread for those shots.

This one was taken on a hike/hunt up to the Puyallup Ridge Fire Lookout late last September or early October. I loved how the trees framed the mountain in.

This picture was in the same general area about 300' lower at 4300' and a few miles away. I liked how the pine cones on these trees stood out.

It's hard to decide what to even enter this month, here's my first entry taken last September from Mt St Helen's.Awesome picture. :bow:
Post by: cx2vandine on July 21, 2010, 08:08:37 AM
Probably not a winner, but one of my favorite photos ever. Wife took the Picture last fall when we were scouting for deer season. This was my daughters first trip.....We hiked a few ridges that day and my daughter talked the whole way. Not a good way to find animals, but still fun.You can't beat the time spent with your kids.
