Distant View of Mount Jefferson

This view from just below MacRae Peak shows Mount Jefferson in the distance in Ashe County, about 50 miles from Grandfather Mountain. This photo was a quick grab just intended to get an exposure reading for a film shot I was setting up with my Pentax 67. But afterwards I decided I liked it enough to try saving it. It was taken handheld at a shutter speed of 1/6 second, so there's some camera shake visible even with a 16mm lens. Fortunately the K-5's anti-shake helped enough to make the shot worth viewing, if not quite good enough for a large print. We'll see how the film version worked out in a week or two.
