We love mountains, so it works out nicely that we live amongst some. As I think I’ve mentioned, we live at the far, southern end of the Mt Washington Valley in New Hampshire (maybe just a tad beyond). If the Mt Washington Valley was a bathtub, we would probably be located somewhere around the drain (no offense Effingham, really!). Anyway, Tay and I head north and venture deeper into the Valley, more specifically, North Conway, maybe twice a week or so. We never tire of the beautiful scenery we get to breath in everyday, and what’s cool is sometimes I still get surprised by something I’ve seen many times before, but all of a sudden presents itself in a new light. Over the weekend we drove past a view of Mt. Washington that is partially hidden from the road. This time it really jumped out at me and after driving past I decided that, no, I can’t leave this one in the rearview.

Birchblaze - Thanks for the great feedback y'all!
@Heidi&Kev - Thanks, we're looking forward to visiting & talkin' shop with ya! Not sure if we'll have time to post the lens/exp. info with every shot, but if you're curious, by all means ask! I shot these 2 pics with our Sony A700 and the awesome Sony 70-300mm G lens. I was kicking myself because we had the tripod but left the quick-release on our other camera at the house! Aaargh!! There was plenty of light for a hand-held shot, but I still wanted to get them as sharp as possible with 0 cam shake. Oh well. They were shot @ ISO-200, f8, 1/320 & 1/200 respectively. Did some contrast bumping and brought out some shadow details in post. Talk soon! -k
Heidi & Kevin - Hi guys! Wow! We love it. It would be awesome if for some of your photos you also posted what lens you used and the exposure (does that make sense?) haha. We are so excited to hang out with you two this weekend! Woo!
Catch you later,
Heidi & Kev
