Shuksan sunrise: went up to the Mt Baker area to shoot the sunrise this morning. at 6 AM the fog was so thick you could cut it with a knife, but by 7:00, it had mostly cleared away...

Shuksan sunrise

went up to the Mt Baker area to shoot the sunrise this morning. at 6 AM the fog was so thick you could cut it with a knife, but by 7:00, it had mostly cleared away, and by the time the sun peeked over the top of Mt Shuksan at 7:50, all that was left was the haze in the air from the wildfires on the other side of the mountains...

Once upon at time (about 1971) I played in the snow on Shuksan on a summer day with good friends in shorts & no shirts. Thanks for bringing back the memory. Fantastic shot. Woops, don't know how I included your photo. sorry

lovely! enjoyed how you captured part of the sun at the mountaintop and how it generated a star effect. really adds pizazz to the photo.

thanks, Sinatraman, Nikonfan and Junebug!

Sinatraman, the "star effect" is simply a function of a small aperture. this was shot at f/18 specifically to achieve that "starburst" pattern... ;)
