Greetings all! I'm back from my annual six weeks of river guiding, and of course I have a boatload of photos to deal with. The workflow aspect of this hobby is always one of the toughest for me.
This shot is from a summer solstice overnight I took in Idaho's Lost River Range. It felt more like the first day of spring than of summer up there. A slightly larger version is here, and my blog has a few more shots and trip report from the Lost Rivers.
f8, 1/30, 19mm. Processing was mostly ACR and Tony Kuyper luminosity painting.
I also finally overcame my stinginess and went for full membership here at NPN. Considering that a large majority of what I know about photo composition and processing comes from this web site, it was high time. A big thank you to everyone on this forum for tons of information, insight and inspiration over the last few years!

Nice details in the shadows and like the snow covered peaks and diagonal lines in the image! I might tone down the whites a touch...they look a bit blown, but I am on my work monitor and it is not always the most accurate.
Really nice - I love the marbley look to the mountains and the glow on the peaks.

Nice light and interesting texture/formations on the peaks, must have been some heavy glacial action or something. Thanks for the shot from a new area.

I also enjoyed reading your journal and seeing the other images you captured.
Sounded like a real rugged (and joyful) journey.
