Mount Baker from Vancouver Canada downtown

You are looking at Mt Baker my friends. It's about 250-300kms from downtown Vancouver in Washington state, based on google maps. The day was almost clear but haze was quite strong.

For this shot I used 100-400mm IS f5.6 Lens at full 400mm + x2 extender. So the focal length was 800mm. The combination of using extender at full focal length of the lens plus the haze reduce the sharpness and clarity of the image quite substantially.

This is HDR with 7 images processed gently in Photomatix then Topaz plugins in CS5.

I will try to get a better shot with 600mm next time using x2 extender = 1200mm.
