The hike is roughly estimated at 5 hours. It took roughly 3 hours to arrive at St. Mark's Peak, and 2 1/2 hours to return. The last 1km was covered in snow. The snow pack was probably 3-4 feet at the deepest locations. There were other sections covered in snow as well. You have to cross a shady looking bridge that is bit submerged in a swollen creek (due to snow melt). I would wait until August to hike the trail again. Were planing on going back, to catch the view.

beautiful pics dood! i have to get some ND/GND filters oneday..

there's a guy on bccamera.com/forum selling a 77mm B+W 10stop nd:

or make your own variable ND with a CPL and linear polarizer :D

Funny thing is I actually do have a pair of CPL and LP filters in 67mm. I should try stacking them some time to see what I can come up with...

I have a 10 stop ND in 67mm if anyone is interested, I need to move up to a 77mm

I only had my wide angle lens with me because who the hell would pack for a friggin' riot on a work trip? lol

But... here they are - the riot through my eyes:

to compensate for something else? :D

Did we get one in rentals?!?! :D Or is it just an empty box from when that customer picked it up? :p

i was trying to say Landscape... pano is in my head because I recently shot one lol

You'd think Canon would have a nicer box for that lens...a $12,000 lens.. yikes!

I think the retail box is inside that box.

You'll find out on Friday. :D

....and no, the box is not empty. :)

Domani, great to see another post from you!

Liquid turbo, nice landscape shots

Senna, unreal. I'm pretty jelous of all of the equipment you get to use....for free haha

Yes. :cry:

thanks for the tip. i was looking at the B+W ones if not, i hear great things about the Singh Ray ones...

but in all honesty, is an ND filter all the same? the Singh Ray ones are really expensive and i feel i might not use it a whole lot (my B+W CPL hardly gets used...lol)
