seafoam Posted November 26, 2012 Report Posted November 26, 2012 Nice shot Nanuq. Lighting's perfect.
krpster Posted November 26, 2012 Report Posted November 26, 2012 Great shot! The warm reflection of the sun off the dial and crystal is perfect contrast to the cold snow and colouring of the case. Awesome!
Nanuq Posted November 26, 2012 Author Report Posted November 26, 2012 Thanks guys! I was taking pics of the sun going down over a couple volcanoes and happened to glance down and see my watch lit up by the alpenglow. What a glorious climb! It was -6F and bluebird skies and not a breath of wind up there! Funny thing, as I was taking the sunset photos (anyone notice it was 3:45PM?) the moon was coming up behind me. By the time I got down it was dark and the dogs were freezing, but wow what a glorious climb!
Mapman57 Posted November 26, 2012 Report Posted November 26, 2012 I was probably working at the time.................... Great shot and wonderful anecdote
Nanuq Posted November 26, 2012 Author Report Posted November 26, 2012 Here are the sunset and moonrise pics I got. There are two volcanoes in the first photo, Mt Redoubt and Mt Iliamna, 200 and 300 miles away. The ocean is starting to freeze up already.
Sparkal Posted November 26, 2012 Report Posted November 26, 2012 Wow, What a landscape, and what a watch.
freddy333 Posted November 26, 2012 Report Posted November 26, 2012 They do not call it the golden hour for nothing.
panerai153 Posted November 26, 2012 Report Posted November 26, 2012 Beautiful photos,great,great watch as well. I love the mountains, and the beauty that goes with them, it's just too darn cold for and old man like me!! Our thermometers down here don't even go down to minus 6, they stop at zero!!
Nanuq Posted November 26, 2012 Author Report Posted November 26, 2012 Our thermometers down here don't even go down to minus 6, they stop at zero!! So go digital ... they go lots lower!
Nanuq Posted November 28, 2012 Author Report Posted November 28, 2012 Nanuq where do you live??? Way up on a mountain in Alaska
irolexu Posted November 28, 2012 Report Posted November 28, 2012 Wow!!! I feel bad for your mail man! Haha
Nanuq Posted November 28, 2012 Author Report Posted November 28, 2012 Yeah ask the Watchbitz guy in Oz that's sending me a set of screwdrivers! I think the sleddogs fell off the side of the mountain.
username here Posted November 28, 2012 Report Posted November 28, 2012 can you see Russia from your house? (sorry- couldn't resist!) awesome pictures!
Nanuq Posted November 28, 2012 Author Report Posted November 28, 2012 Not from my house, but you CAN see Russia from Alaska. Here it is, across the open water.
irolexu Posted November 28, 2012 Report Posted November 28, 2012 I'm surprised Rolex hasn't given you watches to beat up in a crazy hike across the mountain range
