^ that's a gorgeous shot. it's like "another day in paradise"

Thank you!! That means alot. I honestly have a hard time liking my photos. I love when I take them but when I view the photos on my computer I start to notice all of the flaws and downsides. I think this one is slightly crooked. I should have fixed that up. argh!

That was taken on Saturday afternoon after I hiked up The Chief in Squamish. I have some more I'm trying to edit right now.

Polarizing filter used?

Yes. Hoya 72mm circular polarizing filter.

Amazing Origami

That's the view on top of The Chief in Squamish. If you haven't hiked up it yet I highly recommend doing it! Its worth it.

I want to see a bigger version, looks awesome

I hope you went to peak 2 and 3 while you were up there

Nice european! Like he^ said, I wanna see a bigger version :)

Great pano, and eagle photo's european! While we're on Pano mode:

Thanks guys!! I only did peak 1 and 2. I went up with my sister and she couldn't do the third peak so we're heading back early Saturday morning again.

Go to my flickr page, click all sizes and then original. The largest size is reeeeaally big! Like 9000x4000ish..

Boost, that's a wicked panoramic photo! Where is that? Great colours!

How did you get the colors to be so vibrant? I went there yesterday and simply couldn't capture the same amount of color as you did..
Edit: Oh, did you simply PS more saturation?

The best route is to head up to the 3rd peak first, then to the 2nd via the gulley, then back down. Nice pics. Did you lug up a tripod for those? The CPL really gives the pictures some serious 'pop'!

ya I played around with the saturation a little bit to what i thought was enough but not too much...
still in learning process

Nice! I'll see if I can convince my sister to do it. Thanks for the compliments. Means a lot! I brought the tripod with me but I left it in my car, I didn't think I would need it as I have a fairly steady hand. Yes the polarizing filter really helps out. I recommend it. I bring it everytime there is a bright sunny day. Like you said, it gives it some serious pop! hah
