Hurricane Lupins

Robbug

Seems all the PNW photographers are scrambling all over Hurricane Ridge. Funny thing is, right before I took this photo I bumped into two individuals taking a photo of a snowshoe rabbit. What made me chuckle a bit is that I rounded the corner of the trail to see two humongous lenses (400mm and 300mm canon primes - maybe larger) aimed a mere 4 feet to the ground. These two gentleman were getting some good closeups (I assume) and were kind enough to let me in on a shot. Unfortunately I was dead set on getting a decent sundown shot and had to rapidly move on. Here is one of the better ones. Oh .. running around on the ridges at 5000ft can get a bit tiring.

Beautiful shot with excellent back-lighting, Rob! Love the color of the Lupine! How about cropping out some of that sky, perhaps just above the tallest evergreen?

Beautiful image, Rob. Those back-lit lupine sure are pretty.

Thanks for the comment Mahesh. I went back and started the reprocess over again. I think I can do better. I was a bit precipitous on posting this as now I look at it and it doesn't seem right.

Danny - yes it was a great view and I wanted to capture the backlighting. I think I got the data...just need to process it a bit better.

Thanks for looking and commenting.
