 Taken from the roof of the building where I am currently working overlooking the eastern face slopes at Snowshoe, WV. I tell yah, this place is not fun to work, but man, it is spectacularly beautiful. I took numerous photos that day, and the roof is a good place to take them from. However, this day it was horribly windy, so the roof was a bit treacherous to say the least. Sure, it's only a fifty foot fall to the ground...don't be a wuss. I didn't have my tripod with me, so the camera was sitting on top of a roof-top air handling unit, and I was worried that the wind would knock it off...fortunately, both I and my camera survived unscathed.

I did very little post processing here outside of rotation, cropping (the picture is slightly larger thanks to a converter I was using on my P&S that makes it 14mm instead of 28mm), and some contrast & saturation work. This is pretty much how it looked out of the camera. Since I'm working here and not at home, I don't have access to all of the wonderous features of Photoshop, simply IrfanView.

This is another shot submitted in color by me...hopefully this will do better than the last few.

Lovely sky. I like how his white hat and blue jeans tie into its colors. Seems a touch overexposed.
