I'll add that the mountain is Mt Rainier and this was taken yesterday on our way home from the Tacoma Dome Holiday Food and Craft Fair, which was a lot fun, but they asked that no pictures be taken inside! (got a couple anyway) #69869

Thank you Jim! Those drive by's pay off! Funny thing that they turn out better than the ones I spend a lot of time trying to capture right!

Thank you Paul!

Just so ya know, I did not add anything to this one. Just added some contrast and cropped it. :) #247013

Murry Grigsby October 27, 2003

Well I can't find the 60MPH shutter speed anywhere on my camera :0) Pretty amazing image for speeding by in a car, Lori!! #247234

Lori Ditlefsen October 27, 2003

Thank you Rober, Brinn, Susan and Murry.

Murry for shots in the distance, sport mode works really well while traveling. Of course I recommend that you not shoot and drive. LOL I cropped out the siderail that was speeding by the bottom of the photo. I also too off some empty sky at the top, which then made for a nice pan shot.

Thanks All! #247248

Hi, Lori,
After receiving your kind message, I ran back through your gallery (to see what I've missed, and I've missed a lot!). I was really taken with this photograph (so clear, so colorful, so MAGESTIC!). I think you should promote it in your area! It must be many people's backyard view! I also love "Life in a Bottle Cap." Amazing. I'm so happy to see that you have FUN with your camera. Happy shooting!
