I visited Lake Tahoe last week, this place seems different every time i go there. A few different shots.

This one was taken from the top of the Heavenly ski resort in South Tahoe.

This is a run off water fall from the snow melt. The scale can be seen from the person standing in the right corner.

This final one is from the lake shore on the west side.

    Cool captures! clap.gifclap.gif That first one is quite a spectacular view. :jawdrop Looking down on the beach in the southern end reminds me of the time I was swimming at the beach many years ago, and ran into one of the Yarbrough brothers. This was mid summer and we were the only people brave enough to enjoy the fresh, clear, 45 F degree water.eek7.gif :lol

    Thanks everyone, I hope to move to the
    Reno/Tahoe area soon so there will be lots of time to shot this great place.

    Yes, that was in my youth :D It was sooo cold, but I guess that my metabolism and the warm sunshine worked fine to counteract the chill. I could never do that now. lol3.gif Maybe it was about 52 dregrees, now that the memory cells are straining to recall rolleyes1.gif Either way it was quite brisk. The Yarbrough, or was it Yarborough brothers included professions of race car driver and musician. I have never really followed celebs but I recall when the guy swimming across the way introduced himself as we peered at each other over the water's reflection of the bright sunlit sky.

    Thanks for the memories:):

    Pete,

    I really like the waterfall shot. It looks awsome! Did you convert it to B&W in post-processing? If so, you may want to experiment with the channel mixer and see what different combinations of red, green, blue can give you in the B&W rendition.

    Cheers,

    Erich

    Just send me the lens!

    I love what that lens does with a good photographer behind it.

    I guess I would need to test myself.

    great set,

    ginger
    After all is said and done, it is the sweet tea.

    I strongly suggest folks click on Pete's gallery link and check out the rest of these photos- they are stunningclap.gifclap.gifclap.gifclap.gif I especially like the emerald island images. Pete where were you when you took the EI images at wide angle, they are terrific?

    Susan.
    There is a stop of point ( NO stopping due to avalanches) . That if you are quick you can get a shot before Smokey catches up with you.



    Its the best position just to the east of EI.



    The rest are from the lookout point to the north.



    Thanks for your comments
