Virginia Range

The Virginia Range from one of my favorite hikes on Silver Saddle Ranch. Captured with X-T5, 2025-10-01 11:13:13, 35mm, 1/600sec, f/8, ISO-250, in-camera Tri-X film simulation, SOOC.

A few days ago The Girl and I used a cool morning to hike Silver Saddle Ranch. With less Sun and cooler temperatures, I figured the risk of a nope rope encounter might be reduced. In any event, I kept her on-leash for our hike, with a brief exception for her to play in the water a bit.

It was a good hike and gave the opportunity for a few images, of which a couple were actually decent enough to share. The Fujifilm X-T5 is turning out to be a great camera. As much as I liked my X-T1, the most recent body is substantially improved. I mean this not just in pixel count (which is crazy high at 40MP), but in refinement of the shooting experience.

It was a good day. Life is good.
