Day 7 was partially taken up with our descent from Lake of the Angels, partially taken up with our loitering at the trail head pondering what to do next and partially taken up driving toward Mt. Rainier. We stopped off at a hotel along the way as it was suspected… Continue reading
This was one of the shots that comprised the previous moon HDR pic. The images in that one weren’t really that well aligned, so everything was quite soft. This one didn’t have quite the detail on the edges, but overall it’s a much better picture. Picture taken with Sony a6000,… Continue reading
Our camp site on Lake of the Angels. One of the better camp sites I’ve partaken in for sure. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL 18-200mm lens @ 36mm, 1/320 sec, f/8, ISO 100
One more of the mountain goat that we came upon at the top of Mt. Ellinor. They lick the rocks scavenging salt. There are plentiful warnings that they will also lick / nibble / attack people to get at their sweaty and thus salty clothes. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL… Continue reading

Banana Slugs are huge (in slug terms) and apparently plentiful around Olympic National Park. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL 18-200mm lens @ 159mm, 1/20 sec, f/8, ISO 3200

My attempt to salvage a very hazy photo of Mt. Rainier shot from the top of Colonel Bob in Olympic National Forest – just outside the National Park. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL 18-200mm lens @ 200mm, 1/640 sec, f/8, ISO 100
