1/15/07 - Mountainside Pines

This doesn't show the true perspective - looking down a 45+ degree slope. I'm not sure how to show that, especially when my self-assignment was to use only the Nikkor 75-300 lens today in the mountains. Everything you see was well below my feet, but in this view it could just as easily been level. Taken at Pinnacles Overlook, Shenandoah National Park, the same general location as this PAD http://www.pbase.com/ed_k/image/72819774 from last week.
It also doesn't show the wind which was strong enough to blow my heavy Gitzo tripod over if I hadn't kept hold of it. Nasty!

Nikon D70
1/5s f/11.0 at 75.0mm full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Sometimes I'll look at a scene like this and just not see a picture. But it does work here. Very nice. Where was this?
