I just found this thread….I'm always the last to know anything!
From my first hike to the Wave after a massive flash flood. It was also my second time using my camera (had a Rebel t1i back then) and I was just learning how it worked. I was with someone who had a tripod and a wide angle lens but I was too intimidated to try either of those so I hand held this with the kit lens. It never occurred to me that I might get anything good. August 2010:

Sunset at Windansea Beach, San Diego, January 2014.
With the fresh dump of snow here and the "promise" of fall colours, here is an oldie from last year at Boom Lake along the continental divide. Larch a plenty and a fresh dusting with a completely calm lake that morning made the 3 am wakeup, drive and hike worth while.
