[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 106407, member: 9240"] Absolutely jealous the minute I saw that parking lot. That hike up to Emerald Lake is breathtaking and one of my fondest memories of my 3 days there. Mid-September and snows were just starting to come. It was the warmest of the 3 days there, but the most overcast, and as we got to the top it started snowing, but the snow looked like those ice cream dipping-dots. No one wanted to get stuck in the snow, so by the time we got to the lake there was no one anywhere near. Absolutely magical. Just my wife and I and this small bird that would dive under the water, swim about 10-15 feet and then hop up on branch. No idea what kind of bird it was. Anyway, as for aperture and landscape, remember that it controls your depth of field, so unless you purposefully want only certain parts of the view in focus you're probably going to want to go to a smaller (higher number) aperture. For views this deep and wide I'd be shooting at least f/11 and checking my depth of field preview button to make sure I'm getting everything I want. [/QUOTE]
