Photo trip to the mountains.
I finally got a day off and spent it in the mountains hiking and taking pictures. All feedback is welcome.
All pics are taken with an 85mm f1.8

A couple of old photos taken while the Amtrak was stopped - somewhere in Colorado, I think?
(And yes, I like that the vertical leans!)

Just a heads up for anyone that may be interested (and as things are slow in the group.....).

Black Leopard
This female has arrived at Hamerton. This place rescues animals from all over the world, mainly endangered species, and they breed when they can.

I've photographed Ady a few times now. We get better each time as a team. This image was a fave from our latest session. I hope you like it to.

its just missing a model ...nice shot
Thanks! Hopefully in the future I'll go back there with a model or two
Nice record of your photo walk Rus. Very relaxing doing this sort of thing and just spotting images as you go.In the top one if I had 2 kids with me I would be looking for something similar to the iconic image of Eugene Smith.
You can see it here.

Placed about where that patch of sunlight is I think.Keep up the good work.
Thank you! It really is relaxing. I love hiking and combining it with photography just makes it so much better.
You're right, this photo is definitely missing a human element and maybe in the future I'll be able to redo it.
These photos are very simple, and yet so interesting. I love the use of DOF. Even without a human element, they have a very quiet atmosphere to them. Perhaps it's because I live in a city with 9 million people, but these seem like a nice relaxing slice of life or local beauty series.
Thank you! I wasn't sure about using an 85mm lens for landscapes and nature shots but I actually liked it a lot. I am lucky enough to live close to the mountains and a lot of good spots.
