    Thanks, Eia! What kind of details did you have in mind? Do you mean EXIF data? If so, here they are:

    f/8; 1/15 second; ISO 200; 200 mm; tripod, cable release, VR turned off.

    Superb shot! The foreground fog/clouds really sets it apart from other mountain shots I have seen.

    Thanks, bud! Funny you should mention it, but yes, this one is on a wall in my home. So many pictures...so little wall space. :D

    Thanks, Tisun! Ya, I'm a sucker for the moon. I try to plan a good deal of my photography on moonset and moonrise times.

    rolleyes1.gif Actually all my gear was bought with the money I made from photography. I don't think my wife would let me "invest" in so much camera gear with our "regular" money. :D
