For those of you that fish LaPush, this should look familiar. I shot this last weekend on Rialto Beach in Olympic National Park at about 9:45 PM after the sun had set for about 30 minutes. There was an amazing afterglow and I shot this picture at like 30 seconds to mist the crashing waves.

Just a no name waterfall near Lake Quinalt in Olympic National Park. A 2 second exposure misted the water movement and created my wife's favorite shot of the weekend. I personally like the above Rialto Beach shot, but she remembers being cold and wet and not having fun for me forcing her to sit there a half hour after the sun set to get the perfect shot...

Nope, not taboo unless it was entered into another photo of the month contest. All I see is a red x though, so we might have a problem.
I've had this problem before, I can see it just fine, any idea what I have to do to fix it?

This picture definitely requires an explanation. As some of you may remember, one of my friends went missing while climbing Mt. Baker last month. He is now in heaven with our Lord and as we mourn his life, we also celebrate in his triumph achieved through death.
This picture is from the very first backpacking trip I took with him. At the time I was a freshman in high school and he was a new and young teacher. Our school had en event called Outside the Walls where groups of students would get to go participate in all different activities ranging from sewing and dancing classes, to mountain biking, to backpacking (which is what I chose.) Kevin was the teacher supervisor for the backpacking trip and he took us up to Winchester Peak above Twin Lakes. But we unexpectedly got about 4 feet of snow up in the mountains that week and none of us were prepared for it. We started hiking about an hour before dark and didn't get to the lookout until about 11 p.m. with many inexperienced hikers. No one had snow shoes, many of us were wearing jeans and running shoes. It was an interesting experience to say the least. Ironically, the young woman on the left just so happens to be my future-to-be.
I know this picture isn't necessarily the best picture ever taken, but I felt it fitting to honor someone like Kevin who absolutely loved the outdoors in the POTM contest with now guidelines. (BTW Kevin is the character crouched in the center, I am the one taking the picture.)
Enjoy:

Cool picture Shane. I had the pleasure of meeting Kevin a few years back, he was a great guy. By the way, I'm an LC grad myself.

Nice to meet another LC student on here! I don't know many people from your era. My parents graduated a decade before you and my brother a good 6 or 7 years after you.
