| Mount Hood in Summer, Oregon © Doug Hickok Mount Hood is a remarkable landmark. It is Oregon's tallest mountain (11,239 ft), visible up to one hundred miles away. It is covered by 12 glaciers or permanent snow fields and is the only mountain in North America with year round snow. The ancient cone-shaped volcano is estimated to be the one most likely to erupt in Oregon. When we visited Mount Hood a few years ago, I made this image using a 300 mm lens mounted on a Nikon F3HP camera, with Velvia RVP 100 slide film, pushed one stop. We also searched high and low for a view of Bigfoot (aka Sasquatch), but found only foot prints. We weren't 100% sure of who or what left them. For all we knew, they could have been my foot prints, since I normally wear big, ape-sized hiking boots with hairy toes. I know it sounds far fetched, but it's true. |

if you've got harry's toes, what's poor harry doing? Or perhaps it's your boots that have harry's toes...either way, harry's in a pickle.
ReplyDeleteAwesome, I sort of miss those days of film. A simpler time.
ReplyDeleteStunning majestic landscape! I think this is film camera?
ReplyDeleteA great portrait of an impressive mountain!
ReplyDeleteI am not an expert, anything a couple of hundred meters above sea level is a mountain to me, but this one looks really huge!
It is hard to get a shot like this that translates well through the camera. Nice job.
ReplyDeletemarvelous shot of my mountain
ReplyDeleteHUGES, that's a mountain, I'm impressed but it is normal for their height that looks from afar

ReplyDeletemt. hood in summer looks like some of our skiing mountains did in recent winters! when there was not enough snow, they blew artificial snow on the slopes, and this looked exactly like in your image - bands of white coming down brown slopes!
