mountain

It was a cold morning at Artist Point that put a nice skin of ice on the tarns, leaving just enough water for a reflexion.

I was lucky to have the Snowy Creek approach to Rock Mt. all to myself on a beautiful Sunday yesterday. I brought my drone and A7r2, but didn't have time for much photography since I had to be home for dinner with company arriving from out of town. I barely made it to the ridge just below the...

I got this yesterday on a multi camera hike. I've written a long multi-shot thread in Travelogue comparing the 4 cameras I used. This was shot with a Sony A7rII with 24-105, which is still my favorite!

The clouds cooperated to reveal the mountain.

I worked as an assistant climbing ranger and lived at Sunrise back in the summer of 72. I have many wonderful memories of walking The Silver Forest trail after the crowds left. My wife and I lucked out having the trail to ourselves last week on a beautiful summer evening.

I'm sure there are many Snow Lakes around the world, I know of two here in WA. I'd never been to the one in Mt. Rainier NP until last week when my wife and I did the easy 2.7 mile hike into it (don't be fooled by the trailhead sign that says 1.1 miles!). No views of Rainier from here, but...

After seeing Kyle's great shots at Heart Lake I had to stop by on my way south to meet friends in Yosemite. I didn't have clouds as nice as his, but sure enjoyed it - great bang for the buck hike. Clouds build in the evening The mountain emerges for a bit. Sunrise I Sunrise II

I had a quick visit to Crested butte last weekend, Lupines were on prime, but it was unfortunate that trail 403 is still closed from last winters blessings. most of this pics are from Snodgrass trail.

The view down the ridge from my bivy spot on Mt. Pilchuck last week. I wasn't psyched about sunrise when I woke up to clear skies, but the mountains made their own clouds as the sun warmed the air, eventually enveloping me in fog.

I'm cross-posting this here to keep the drone discussions going. Click through to view in full HD to really see it (esp. the stars). Starts off with some time-lapses shot with my Sony A7rII, then goes to video from a DJI Mavic Pro 2. Time-lapse shots prepared in Lightroom. Video edited in...

Look closely to find the fellow hiker out on the ridge.

I was flying my drone around Mt. Pilchuck yesterday morning when the clouds started to build. I saw a glory rainbow forming above me, so I flew out and framed the mountain with the rainbow as an accent. It was incredible having the ability to place the camera where I wanted it to capture this...
