You were monitoring or were you lurking. Ha Ha. Your composition of Room with a view is outstanding. Color, exposure, sharp. You nailed it. You are welcome to the HOG, Mr. Big Sky. I hope you can teach me a few things. David PS Our mountains in Florida are not quite as big.


Thank you for the comment on the photo. I guess the operative word would be digesting what I read from people sharing their expertise; a great site. I did not always have the mountains as a point of reference as lived in Louisiana for a few years where the highest point was the levee on the Mississippi river.

Gorgeous shots bigsky. I visited Montana a long time ago & found it stunningly beautiful. Just waiting to retire to come back & spend more time.

Thanks. I have been to New Zealand but not to Australia but enjoy your wines.

I have monitored the site for sometime until I made the decision to upgrade from point and shoot to DSLR. My gear is a Canon 7D, 70-200mm F4.0 L IS, 15-85mm and a wish list. I appreciate those sharing their expertise and experience to help on more rapidly progress along the learning curve; thank you. As a beginner, the frequent comment to "learn your equipment" and "understand exposure" is definitely sound advice. Hope to progress to where I can be a contributor and not a taker.
Living in NW Montana I consider Glacier National Park and it's one million acres "my backyard" providing many opportunities for shooting landscapes and wildlife. I am posting 2 pictures from inside the park.

Hi Big Sky,
Love your photos!!! I'm headed out your way and wondered if you could share a few spots to get some landscape photos. We don't have anything like this in Mississippi.
Thanks,
Sam King

Hi Sam,
I just saw your message but I would respond. The park presents many photo opportunities. Most people enter through west glacier and drive the going to the sun highway, one of the most scenic drives in America. The first stop would be Apgar or you can take photos of lake McDonald. From here continue your drive up to the top of Logan pass to the visitor center. If you have time take the 1.5 mile hike to the Hidden Lake Overlook. Very scenic and you may have opportunity for close-ups of Mountain goats and mountain sheep. I just took some visitors up there last week. The road and continues down along St. Mary's Lake and it's wild goose Island which is the most photographed scene in the park I read somewhere. From St. Mary's take the 20 mile drive to Many Glacier which is my favorite part of the park. This is where the photos I posted were taken. Here is a link to park information in case you have not seen it. http://www.nps.gov/glac/index.htm.
Any event you plan on staying inside the park advance reservations are recommended. If I can help with anything else feel free to contact me.
