Table Mountain - a Different View

[AlanLichty]

While I was up near Beacon Rock and Elowah Falls last week I pivoted around to shoot this view of Table Mountain from the side which makes it a bit more clear where the name came from. From the side that collapsed in the landslides it had a distinctly pointed top which left the name of the peak a bit enigmatic but the side view clarifies the overall shape. The slide face is aimed off to the right and is not really visible from this viewing angle.

C&C always welcome.

Love it . . . a beautiful scene. I wonder what might be done using a dehaze adjustment filter on this image!

I can see why it's called Table Mountain

Thanks Bob - the original showed a lot of haze as this is a telephoto image taken from 5.5 miles away. I was using a circular polarizer on my drone. I can tease a little more out of the contrasts with Dehaze but not by a lot.

Thanks Ben - that was my thought when I realized which peak I was looking at on my control console viewer.

Thanks Alan, now I also see the table part!

Thanks Jim - I am not used to this view from the side as there aren't many spots to see it from. This is one of the reasons I always make a point of rotating 360º when I go up for an image like Beacon Rock - so I can see what else looks interesting from the drone's perspective that I can't see from the ground.
