Hey all, I am new here and am just expanding into photography. Here is a recent shot of Mt. Rainier in Washington State.
Would like to hear any thoughts.
D70, 1/60 at f5.6. AF-S 24-120mm VR @ 120mm
Picture was taken as the sun was rising on a morning after we had had wild weather with everything from sun to hail.

Wayne,
Welcome Welcome, another pacific NorthWester! Looking forward to seeing more pics.
Recently with the amazing weather I have a sight of Baker and Rainier. Perhaps a little too far for pics (still some haze) but you've done well here Compositionally. I actually flew over Rainier in a tiny plane once. Did you do any post processing on this pic?

Great image!
Having said that i don't think I've ever seen a bad image of Rainer or Baker for that matter!

I did do a little PP in
PS CS. Played with the contrast a little to make the foreground silloette (sp?) increase the contrast some and draw the colors out a little and USM.
Unfortunately the original was taken as a jpg in the camera instead of RAW and when it came out it wasn't really well representing the true scene.
My adjustments in
PS have brought it closer to as it actually looked. now I will ALWAYS confirm I am shooting RAW.

Welcome Wayne.
It is a really nice shot, but don't worry so much about the jpeg scenarios.
Yes, shoot in RAW as a permanent solution, but jpeg's can be brought to attention with proggies like Raw Magick.

Hi Wayne and welcome to the forums. You're certainly not new to photography - that shot is stunning! I love the grain, it gives it the old skool slide look IMO.

I agree, the shot is excellent and has that 1950's National Geographic feel/style to it. The lighting and colours are perfect.
