As promised here's the remaining 6 images of my favorite 12 for 2012.
I have promised myself to get out more to use my camera to shoot more and different images. So far I have been on a couple longer hikes in support of that promise. This one is from a late Novemebr hike along the Rio Cebolla. It was below freezing when we started warming up to the 50's by lunch. Because it has been fairly warm this fall there was spotty ice along the stream banks. I had to really crop the image so the ice becomes a small potion of the image. There is a lot of unresolvable detail in the ice that detracts from the original image. A tripod really helps with placing and keeping the camera still for this image.
This was taken in Vancouver BC in the area of English Bay looking west. This is a fairly classic composition with the horizon placed at a 1/3 position horizontally and the couple at one of the 1/3 positions vertically. The image is somewhat underexposed enhancing the feeling of the sunset.
I like the following two image because of the selective lighting on the leaves.
The last two images were taken on two different hikes. The lake image was taken in the Pecos Wilderness this past fall. The sunset-peak image was taken around the Gilman tunnels in the Jemez Mountains.
I hope you enjoyed my 12 favorite images of 2012.
Thank you for stopping by,

We are looking for peak fall color! Rain and winds have been passing through the
state this past week; my hopes are not high as I intently study the weather on
the three local TV stations. I didn’t
see any fall color when I passed through northern NM on my trip back from WI in
mid September so maybe there’s a chance.
After the early morning shooting at the Alabama Hills we
stopped for breakfast. While it was not
cold this morning it still felt good to stop, sit down and have something warm
to eat and drink. From there we returned
to Bishop, our home base for the night. After
a short break to get our stuff together we went into the South Lake area of the Inyo National Forest.
Due to the federal government doing federal government things
I got to have the day off from work. I
am not complaining about the day off, I’m complaining about the f
government. I’ve been working the whole
time so I am better off than a lot of people.
That morning I kept going back and forth ‘To hike’ or ‘Not to hike’. I was leaning ‘Not to hike’ but at the last
minute decided to go....
