A few photos from a great birthday hike that Bridget & I did this past Saturday/Sunday up to the Three Fingers Lookout in the Cascades.  A few gorgeous days spent hiking with my loving wife, a great birthday indeed!  Now a concluding camera geek snippet for those who care; most of these shots I used a Singh Ray 3-Stop Graduated Neutral Density Filter (that is a mouthful) in order to even out the bright background with the darker foreground.  These are a must have for many situations in order to get the picture right in camera and not depend on photoshop.  Geek session over.
