Mt Jefferson Sunrise
I took a number of shots of the moonset and sunrise after the total eclipse. This was the only one that came out of the camera almost perfect (for me anyway). I'm eager for suggestions on improvements. I'm still working on the moon set shots and will post one of those later this week.

Canon 7d with 100-400mm L at 100mm (but cropped, shoulda zoomed)
f/13, 1/15s, ISO 100

I really like that light on the mountain. Also the off center subject placement works very well.

Beautiful light across the range. :smile:

Thanks, Cliff and David. I did another crop with a little more foreground, brightened the sky a tish (technical term), and did nr on the sky. I'm pretty happy with it. All it needs is a lake in the foreground, but heck, it's Prineville, so I'm outta luck there.

Another nice shot Marylynne. The lighting in Jefferson is amazing. I wish the mountain was a little bit bigger, but overall I really like this one.

Thanks, Bruce and Scott. I often try to get that hint of Smith Rock to the right of the mountain, but it comes at the cost of the size of Mt. Jeff.
