Mt. Rainier by Pamela Hoaglund

June 2020 - Mt. Rainier

About the Image(s)

I have taken very few images with my phone during the last 10 weeks of lock down. Thank goodness our “stay at home” ends Monday June 1 but things will be far from “normal”. Anyway, yesterday a friend and I, in separate cars, explored a forest service road near Mt Rainier. It was a beautiful drive along the river with some waterfalls. It was too sunny for photographing the waterfalls but I did get this image of Mt Rainier. I only did some basic editing in Snapseed and added a slight vignette.

This is a lovely shot and a nice day trip during lock down.
This might be a nice black and white as well.   Posted: 06/04/2020 14:42:08

Beautiful! Wish I was there now. The sky and mountains are the main feature so I think I'd crop the bottom to just over that long log. It changes the eye's focus a lot to the top.   Posted: 06/04/2020 17:55:55

No worries about social distancing in a spot like that! Very nice scenic capture. The water has that greenish look of just coming off the snow field. Another of your great calendar images.

I agree with Bob, definitely a calendar image. Including the foreground really adds depth and scale to the image. I have been to Mt. Rainier a couple times, but now I'm ready to go back again!   Posted: 06/07/2020 11:26:47

Marvelous photograph of the beauty and majesty of Mt Rainier. Your composition is exceptional starting with a few logs lying on ground, then viewers eyes move over murky green river, up through some trees to glorious snow covered mountain range and spectacular blue sky with big white puffy clouds. I would print, frame and hang on wall. Spectacular capture.
