My favorite vacation location, different dates and times and lenses during July and August. Especially No.5 has this typical Hexanon look that is, in my mind, a good match for that kind of scenery.
I didn´t take notes of aperture settings, but I assume all rather on the lower end (f2.8 - f5.6 assumingly).

#1 Olympus EM1ii and M.Zuiko 12-40mm f2.8, ISO 1000, 1/60s, f2.8 (autofocus lens). Focal length 30mm


#2 Sony Alpha7ii and Zuiko 28mm f2.8, ISO 100, 1/400s, (-2 stops)


#3 Sony Alpha7ii and Hexanon 50mm f1.7. ISO 250, 1/60s,


#4 Sony Alpha7ii and Hexanon 40mm f1.8. ISO 100, 1/250s,


#5 Sony Alpha7ii and Hexanon 40mm f1.8. ISO 100, 1/1600s, (-1,7 stops)


#6 Sony Alpha7ii and Hexanon 50mm f1.7. ISO 100, 1/60s, (-1 stop)

A month ago, a photo editor at Seattle Magazine emailed to ask if I had any avalanche photos. I told her I had shots before and after but no good ones of an avalanche in motion and sent her some examples. She loved this photo of an unreal ridge on Cowboy Mountain above Stevens Pass (the ridge would become infamous in the NYT Pulitzer Prize-winning "Snow Fall.")

Yesterday I got home to find a copy of the new edition with my image in the mail. It ran full frame filling a vertical page.

The story is about avalanche forecasting.

People sometimes think they need 60mp to shoot for magazines. This image was shot with a 6mp Nikon D50. The lens was a completely beat-up Nikkor 200mm f4 Ai. ISO was 400, which was the point after which the D50 would start to get noisy. From the looks of it, they did no retouching for publication. Very grateful to the photo editor for noticing my photography.

This is a jpeg version of the image, but they used a TIF file.

That 200 f4 Nikkor is one of my most used lenses.

Nice shot!

Thanks for sharing the story, and this really is an outstanding image. I don´t know what other pics they had on hand for choosing, but after looking at some 50 avalanche images in Google search I would have still picked yours. It shows beauty and looming menace and was probably just the thing they were after.

I spent a week in the Laguna Beach area and took film and digital cameras, but wound up shooting only with Minolta X-700s. These are with a Minolta MD W.Rokkor-X 28mm f2.8 and Fujifilm 200. Laguna Beach is a great place to shoot film because there's an excellent lab right in the village, Supercolor Imaging, which processed and scanned this film. They also have mail service.
