The sun was out for a few days and I grumply crawed out of my cave to exercise the shutter and charge up the batteries.:huh

    It's a rare day when the air is clean, clear, and I can find a place to shoot from that doesn't have power lines etc.

    And, I'm not asleep or chasing down tourists for lunch!

    Certainly worth crawling out of bed for! I like the effect of the long lens on this. I don't normally think of 400m as a landscape lens, but it sure worked here!

    Thanks for the nice comments.

    Lisa, I used the 400mm lens for this because the mountian is about 25-30 miles away.
    The trees were about 2-3 blocks away. The compression of the telephoto lens really worked here I think.

    I also took pics of this scene with my 70-200 f4 L, because it is my benchmark for sharpness. But I think the 400mm did pretty well w/ a fast shutter ,mirror lockup, remote shutter, and tripod.
