Waterfalls, Smokey Sunsets, and Sunrise Reflections at Mount Ranier National Park
A Week in Photos
The smoke was so thick when my sister and I arrived at Mount Ranier National Park last Friday that we couldn’t even see the mountain. This did not bode well for our astrophotography weekend workshop which we had come for. But we consoled ourselves with homemade blackberry pie ala mode, checked into our little cabin and geared up for the first evening session.
We met our instructor, Ross Schram von Haupt, and headed up towards our first site. The following photos are all just iPhone 12 Pro Max photos since I haven’t had time yet to do any processing of the photos from my Nikon z7 and z7II. All of the weekend photos on my big cameras were shot in RAW format, which requires a bit of editing in Lightroom. But I thought you might enjoy seeing a preview of some of the highlights.
The smoke began to settle as the sun went down, and a few of the shots of Mount Ranier from over a field of wildflowers turned out to be pretty good. The smoke actually enhanced the colors of the sunset a bit.
