On the way home...

Luisa and I were forced to eventually head home from our wonderful little winter wonderland up in the mountains. We took the "elk" way home though, visiting a place near Donnelly where the elk come for the winter, being fed by the locals. We had a great drive home!

My poor wife...again.

My sweet wife does VERY well with putting up with me, especially when I say something like, "OH, the light right there is gorgeous! Will you stand there a moment?". She's always willing and often replies with a look that say's I'm probably crazy. But here are a few shots that she's allowed me (kinda...ok well not really...well actually kinda with blatant disproval) to post on the blog.

Snowy Mountains!

So this Christmas Luisa and I have decided to spend our Holiday up in the mountains of Donnelly Idaho near McCall! It's GORGEOUS up here, but it comes with some very cold temperatures. But what has been so fun has been our chance to try out my new camera. It's been a blast and the jump to a full frame sensor has been a fantastic one. Here are some pictures that I've taken while being up here in the beautiful country side. I really like the black and whites, but the colors are gorgeous as well.

On our way up along the road...

Our view from our lodge...the sky was amazing!

Stars off our balcony that night...

And some fun tree shots...

So far, I can not believe the dynamic range of the camera and the sharpness of a new fisheye lens. We're

having too much fun and I'll be sure to post some more pictures!

Barn

Here is a fun HDR shot of a barn near Luisa's work.
