Wow! Supurb! I like the wide angle distortion, in this photo too! I'll trade you a Starbucks Iced Mocha for your 12-24.

Oops, forgot to say what I was going to say, regarding the lake's color... It's due to the sediment coming off the glaciers, that comes down Thunder Creek.

My dad scuba dived through deception pass a long time ago... it was pretty amazing. He had to stop the dive short though due to some heart problems... but he said it was beautiful underneath.
We've had our boat under that pass more times than I can count... Always fun to play in the whirlpools... you can go almost full throttle and not go anywhere.

Hey Kathy,
Yes, Twin Lakes is on the way to Baker's ski lodge. On your left (as you're on your way to the lodge), there is a snow removal equipment holding area on your left... big gravel lot with salt and gravel pits and lots of equipment... at the end of that lot, there's a small dirt road... take that up for around 8 miles or so (you will NEED a 4x4, year round), and you finally get to the top, there's a great lookout, and it's a great place to camp, most people don't know about it, that are visiting the state.
I tried to get there, last November, but about threw myself, my wife, and the rental truck off the side... So we didn't try to go much further (too much snow, hehe).
Yes, we'd ride from Hamilton to Winthrop, it was a grueling but fun time. Some would start from Sedro-Woolley (my hometown by the way), to Winthrop... But, too much flat riding for me. We'd also ride the STP every year. (Seattle to Portland in one day). The last year, I think we did it in just over 11 hours elapsed time. I was healthy back then, now it's hard enough for me to hold two 35mm cameras at a time. LOL.
Yes, Becky and the twins are doing very well.. Typical ups and downs, and total lack of sleep, but other than that, just fine!

LOL, Kathy! I have almost exactly that same shot, taken with the S1 IS... Only it was a bit more overcast when I was there. I must send u some of my pics. hehe. My wife loved that tree, she took a few shots of it. One of my favorite pictures of my wife was taken at that overlook.
By the way, behind the power plant, there's a small dirt road you can go up. It's a bit of a journey, but it's well worth it, there are some BEAUTIFUL vantage points back in there. Expect some wear and tear on your vehicle though.
This time of year, I'll tell you where u need to go, Twin Lakes. Do you know where that is, and how to get there?

Kathy,
As in Washington (and Rainy) Pass thru the north cascades? If so, yes I've been through there MANY times. I used to ride my bike from Hamilton to Winthrop about every year. I was just there in November of last year, unfortunately, I don't have any pics of it on this computer. I'll get some uploaded.

And here I thought this one would be for me! You're hitting the nail on the head for getting shots I want.
This is from little north beach, right?
Beautiful colors, I have several dozen shots from this location, myself.
Can hardly wait to take the twins back to see where Daddy's from! By the way, my wife's name is Becky.

Wow, simply beautiful! The line drawn on the ground makes for a PERFECT composition! I love the shot from above too... And the chalk laying on the ground next to her, her looking down, it's all so beautiful! Perfect black and white tones, as always! Excellent!

Cheryl,
Well you've lost me, I guess whenever I do upgrade to a new version of photoshop, I'm going to be lost. LOL. Either that, or my editing will get done in 1/5 the time. So far, 5.5 does everything I need, so I haven't upgraded. I'm sure I could be a tad more productive in a newer version, especially since, for my prints, with 5.5, I have to go through Nikon Capture to convert my .nef (raw) files, and then go through Photoshop as a .jpg. heh
Mine is a very long workflow at times. hehe

Cheryl,
What's midnight sepia? LOL
People loose me on new stuff, I'm using Photoshop 5.5, before all the cool stuff happened in version 6. I do everything by hand. Coloring, shading, bluring, etc. (Yoda voice) "Lots of layers, I have"

Ian,
Thank-u much!
Basically I just crop to whatever paper size fits the image best, then add go to 102% on the short size (and whatever is proportionate on the long side) in pure white... Then do the same only at 115% on the short side in black, and add my logo. That's it, nothing spectacular.

Hey Kelly, thank-u for the concern! It's much appreciated!
My wife is still doing fine, she has been at 3cm for a while now... She's almost to that 38 week mark... So she has an appointment this coming Tuesday, if she hasn't delivered by then, I would venture to guess that they will go ahead and induce or perform a c-section... We will see though, and I will keep u informed!
