The Boyz of Mt. Rainier!

2008.07.20
Trying to figure out where we are going.

Ya, ya, ya..... Horrible exposure, but I'm trying to learn to shoot from the hip (literally) like Eric and JR. One of the first things I saw that cracked me up!

Mr. Eric. Calm, cool and collected.

I swear b4 I took this shot Eric was in a complete split. ;O)

There's Mat! Hey Mat. You aren't walking on a meadow are you???? Hehehehehe....

What's this we see? That can't be Mat can it sneaking across a meadow? Let's have a closer look....

BAH! Caught in the act!

I had the theme song from Mission Impossible playing in my head watching Mat throughout the day. He's such a good sport and I was cracking up most of the time!

There he is! I swear he's on a trail though..... Meadow killer.

A great shot of JR!. The photo is untouched.

I think we need to have a closer look at his glasses though......

What's this I see???? Mat and I hiding in the bushes sneaking up on JR!

Eric got some pretty darn amazing shots getting up and under snow, bridges etcetcetc.....

Eric setting up a timer shot so we could get a group photo.

There's that darn JR. Constantly begging me to shoot him. ;)

I was laughing so hard I almost fell of the rock I was sitting on when I took this shot!!!! Mat is such a good sport.

Here are the Boyz of Mt. Rainier. Hiking around a mountain was something new for me. I really enjoyed myself and had fun with mhjphotos/Mat, etodd80/Eric, Jezterr/JR. They were all very kind and patient with me. What none of them mentioned was when they climbed up to a higher point I bagged out of them. They hardly made fun of me at all! lol

I think my lack of knowledge on photography was abundantly clear, but I'm trying to learn. I know one element and do what it takes to get the shots. I need to get out of my teeny realm a bit and grow.

Thanks guys for a fun trip!

Madoc Oh! I was so eagerly awainting your post!
Truly great photos all around. As I wrote to the others: I would have really loved to get up there with you guys. It seems to have been a fab experience.
Superb shots, Julie, especially the last one. I didn't know that a Nikon guy could be such a Rebel! ;-)

mattandbranson Tee hee...Madoc's comment made me giggle almost as much as that last picture! ;-) So fun! I bet you learned a lot from those mountain boys, and them from you! =)

MHJphotos Julie ... these pics of my are going on my fridge! Goodness I've gotten HUGE ... and no, I'm not talking about my backpack! It looks like my 6 pack has ballooned into a 24 pack!

That last shot, of course, cracks me up. I knew it would though!

I love that you got so many hilarious shots of us ... I wish I would have taken a few more like these to post like this!!!

Queen911 These are great. I agree with mystic - I'm jealous. I think you guys should set up union of photoblogers (lol).

TamaraHarden Well, I certainly hope that my cousin doesn't get in too much trouble, foraging thru all those meadows, and wrecking havoc on the landscape. Clearly he walked right past the sign (probably had the viewfinder in his eye,) and didn't see it. Great photos!!
