Love the lens flare from the Sigma 8-16!

Old Rag is one of most popular hiking places in Shenandoah National Park. Rock scrambling is so fun.
For those of you who have patiently waited, here is the very first photo done with the new (to me) camera! A long way from perfect but I am pleased because it's only been a week and the first 3 or 4 days I was totally convinced I had bought a broken used camera!!! LOL I definitely need more lenses! And more muscles as it's twice the weight (at least) of the old camera. Anyway, it's kind of fun and challenging to work out all the intricacies of a DSLR. This is Old Rag, early morning and if I am not mistaken,it's a cold front cloud moving over.....

It rained heavily during my camping trip in Shenandoah, but that's OK. I LOVE camping in the rain. After the rain cleared out a blanket of clouds and fog rolled in.

I will be posting more photos of my Old Rag hike as time permits for processing the RAWs - I really liked this one so it is the first to be posted. This was taken on the return hike down the backside of Old Rag.
BTW, this post has 1 other image in the 1st comment box below, but due to the new Flickr layout, not all comments are displayed after the first few comments are posted....now they make you click on a link to 'View XX more comments', over and over. I don't know about the rest of you, but other than the photostream design, I think this new layout sucks! And it is soooooo sloooooooow!

THANKS FOR VIEWING!
Whether you celebrate this American holiday or not, I wish everyone a blessed day making and sharing memories with friends and family! :)
Today’s spiders were shot with my iPhone, so not my usual quality, but it was the only camera I brought today's a mountain hike. The hike wasn’t meant to be a photo expedition but you know I can’t help but try for pictures when I run across cool subjects. The first spider was found partway up Old Rag, next to stone steps through the trees. She was rather large and I noticed her there unmoving, and then noticed that was because she was guarding what appears to be an egg sac. This is a grass spider, Agelenopsis sp., possibly A. pennsylvanica. I’ve never seen one with eggs before; only in their funnel-sheet webs, so I initially wasn’t sure what kind she was. The webbing is certainly reminiscent of the shelf/sheet part of their webs, so it gave me a clue. I wonder if she feels exposed standing guard there? They usually hide down a funnel and run out to investigate when the web platform is tweaked, but she gave no reaction to my near approach with my phone.

I didn't want to get out of my sleeping bag. It wasn't so much for lack of sleep as it was for the rude coldness on my exposed face. But I hoped to catch sunrise from the highest point in Shenandoah, so I layered up, broke camp and drove to the trailhead with time to get to the top by sunup. Great idea, but the eastern horizon was a stupid layer of haze and clouds, and sunrise nothing but an orange smudge behind it. I waited, you never know. Patience paid off after the sun cleared that layer and the light began raking across the Blue Ridge skyline arrayed northward before me. The impressive bulk of Old Rag is viewed right, haze bound.
My plan for the morning was to hike a portion of the Cedar Run trail, starting at the lower trailhead. My route passed around the Old Rag Mountain, and I watched the morning light illuminating its cliffs at the top. Finally, I noticed a warm light hitting the rocks, and pulled over from the road to take a better look of this beautiful scene. So there I stood, At the Foothill of the Old Rag.
From the archives... This is a late fall shot of the Old Rag Overlook in Shenandoah National Park. The fall of 2009 was short and the color came early.

Yesterday I home-developed 7 rolls of film I had saved up over the course of 3 months. It was my first time home-developing and I absolutely love the results. I have a lot to upload
From 2009 - scene and view at the top of Old Rag Mountain, Shenandoah National Park, VA. The hike to the top of Old Rag is one of the best hikes in the region, including many great views and fun, steep scramble sections. The view from the top is epic.

This was my second of two consecutive days attempt to capture sunrise at Old Rag, Shenandoah National Park. There was nothing to shot Sunday morning so I hiked up again Monday morning. Left the parking lot at 0500 and started the hike in the dark.
The funny thing was, with only half a mile more to go to the summit, at 0600 (was still very dark), I went off trail to use the bathroom and in the process I could hear an animal charging at me from 100-200ft far. I just kept my cool, and slowly went back to trail. As soon as I retreated it stopped charging me. Was it black bear or a white tailed? I'm not really sure.

The photo will appear dark in your monitor and I left it this way so it would really reflect what was witnessed at the moment. This is a 600 sec exposure at f/11, ISO 50.

This was photographed on Old Rag Mountain, Shenandoah National Park, on the top of the mountain's ridge. The trail at the top of the ridge goes through immense boulders. This particular photograph was shot in a boulder crevice, where you came down from the top of one boulder, hiked through the crevice, and then up around the other boulder.

The camera is maxed out here but it's pretty neat the way the snow highlights the rocks on Old Rag Mt. I've never hiked the whole thing but I hear it's a nice rocky scramble at the end. I believe I prefer to look at it! In the comments below this is my normal view of Old Rag so you can see what a good job the camera did do of zooming in. (at least I think so!!)
