Thank you. I've seen way too many bad butt shots on this site. This is classy and hot.

Ah man, what a great climb that is! Brings back good memories of desperate climbing and big whippers.

Any excuse to make art.

What the shutter sees is often mundane. What the shutter sees that gets recorded on the sensor and rendered by the in-camera processor is a cardboard cutout of the mundane. Sometimes, though, what is left, is raw material to create what one sees in the mind's eye, what one sees in dreams.

Longs Peak from Mt Lady Washington. With all the amazing colors found in pictures shot in pre-dawn light, I had never really considered converting them to black and white. I love the really soft shadows this light creates. I'm going to have to do this more often.

Wow! Some killer shots on this thread!
That Long's Peak shot, vonmackle is pretty sweet!

Jim, you should start selling some of those climbing shots. 8)
