Mt. Baker From My Window

This evening, I had a relatively clear view of Mt. Baker. So, I decided to get my long lens out and take a few snaps. Here's my best from tonight. Enjoy!

This is absolutely ridiculous!!! How long of a lens do you need for this? I can see Mt. Baker from where I live, here in Kirkland but it just looks like a dot on the horizon.

wow.. That's certainly a great place to live! How long is your lens? Good snap!

Thanks, Danny! This was taken with a 600mm lens. The evening was exceptionally clear last night, so I just had to take the shot.

Thanks, Karl! This was shot with a 600mm.

I love where I live, as I have a good view of Lake Washington, Mt. Baker, and the Cascades. I'm also just 7 min from work, without having to use the freeway!

This is so simple and so beautiful!

Awesome (the photo, the fact that it was clear enough for you to see, and that you're using a 600mm lens). I drive on the I-90 bridge every day and it's very rare to have that clear of a view of Baker.

Though I must say I'd be a little more impressed with a 16mm grizzly portrait than a 600mm landscape

Beautiful! It almost looks like a painting.

Thanks, Ron! As you know, right after a storm, the visibility is pretty clear as long as the skies are free of clouds. That evening was one such day.
Ya, I wanna see a close up shot of a grizzley with a 16mm too!

Thanks, Christina! My wife had the same thought when I first showed her the image.

Thanks, Anthony! On the days we can see Baker, the view becomes even more special.
