DSLR Photography Forum

Went for a drive to the Costco in Abbotsford yesterday and couldn't resist taking some photos of Mount Baker (which is in Washington State) through the windshield. It was so clear and sunny out with the temperatures around -1 that it seemed the mountain was just in the next city.
Mind you, these were never meant to be great photographs. Just something to share.

It is a very nice capture. Colin. Great Baker shot.

Thanks Toadster. I added a couple more to the original post.

So you're steering with one hand, holding the camera with the other, and pressing the shutter button with your tongue?

Wish I had that scenery around here!

Don't forget talking to Toad on the cell phone ....

Beautiful pictures, Petographer. I can't really say which one is my favorite, all of them are really great!

Very nice shots, these... It's a tricky thing, driving and shooting. BTW we have a law in Germany that forbids us to use a cell phone while driving. Thanks goodness there's no law against taking pictures!

Wow... great capture on the first one! The mountains are so well defiined!

You weren't eating a McDonalds burger at the same time, were you?

You guys are too funny. I was the passenger. The wifey was driving.
Thanks for the words people. You sure make me laugh.

Very much I am liking!

I wish my windscreen was that clean.

Oh, and you think mine is? :/ You can't see the dirt that close to the focal plane.

These are beautiful, first one quite staggering!

How far is it from where you were to the mountains?

Thanks Pol. I did the research to find out how far it is "as the crow flies" and it is 121 miles (195kms) from Vancouver B.C. I could not get an exact figure as the area I was in does not register in the search. In that photo I am a half hour east of Vancouver. Here is the link to the site I used.
