Recent Trips

[Tharhawk]

I've been on three recent climbs and I wanted to share a photo or two from each. Much more to go through, but while I'm at it?

1 and 4 for me, but all are great as usual :clap :bow :clap

Another nice set. :thumb I like the B&W treatment on #7. The first photo has a bit too much red, IMO (but if its true to the scene then keep it). #3 looks nuts!!

It's just the alpenglow on the slope. You'd be surprised how red it gets!

That makes sense...your photos make me want to snowshoe more!!

Actually I was skiing. This was my first time ever heading out with a snowshoer. He was wishing he had skis cause the 7500-ft descent I had was done in minutes in what took him hours. But...he seemed to enjoy himself before he had to pull out his axes and crampons higher up.

Incredible work, as usual. I thought I had to adjust my monitor on #1 until I read the title. The alpenglow must have been stupendous. Am also quite taken by #2 and 7.
and #4 = :jawdrop:jawdrop:jawdrop

Thanks...it was a real bummer that I carried my big tripod all the way in just to find out I forgot my plate. A real bummer, but the photo still turned out good. I just wish it were sharper. LOL. But hey, what's carrying 6 lbs extra along with the other 12lbs of camera gear, skis, overnight gear, avi gear and climbing gear. LOL. Yeah, I was bummed, but lessons are hard learned or not at all, right?

Nice! Extreme indeed...Back country for sure!

[thapamd]

Awesome, as usual! Loved every one of these extreme images. Wow! :clap

Oh that just looks nuts. I can't imagine walking up in boots/snowshoes let alone skis. So cool.

Ouch. But I suppose the tripod could act as a spare (and incredibly unwieldy and expensive) ski pole? Nice job regardless. :D

These photos are so awesome. I've run out of words. Just spectacular.

I think you deserve one of these: :bow

18 lbs. is a lot lighter than I would have thought, my camera bag is 25-30 lbs. with tripod, you're obviously a more disciplined packer than I am!

With all my climbing and ski gear I have to be frugal. On bigger trips I've had my pack at upwards of 95lbs. What I sacrifice is the little things. I have one small lens, one big one, extra batteries, cheap mini tripod, a timer and cleaning stuff...no filters. That is it. I want to bring more, but I can't afford anything else (unemployed) and...I don't know if I can carry anymore :cry. But hell, I love it so "why not". I'm glad you guys like. As many of you know, it's a fair bit of effort to get to these places.

You always bring a strong, strong set of images. #4 stopped me in my tracks. Awesome shot, Jason. :thumb
