I had a fun day of photography down at Mount Rainier a few weeks ago. I'm slowly getting through my negatives now.
Great one, Tyler!

Looks like you had fun getting the gear up there.

After seeing countless images of Rainer taken with ultra-wide lenses, it's great to finally see a photograph of the mountain that conveys a real sense of presence.
EOTS, Luc, Polyglot - Thanks very much!
Joel - Thank you as well - I appreciate what you mean. I'm as guilty as anyone for the usual Rainier shots, but I was really pleased to get up close and personal with it on this trip. It is such a spectacular mountain, particularly when you can you're up close.
Excellent shot Tyler! Looks like a tricky exposure. I'd probably overexpose/overdevelop that one.
I also really like this shot!Long Bien bridge, Hanoi

Great image of the Great Mountain. I love so many things about this shot; the subject (a personal favorite of mine), the breaking clouds and cloud dappled light, etc. It is very reminiscent of the work of Vittorio Sella. Bravo!
When I first saw it, I assumed it was shot with a long lens, a 300mm or maybe even a 450mm. Then I saw in your caption that you used a "normal" 150mm. Was this taken from the Nisqually Vista Trail, or were you up higher than that? Since it was just a couple weeks ago, did you encounter much snow. Were snow shoes or skis required?

Nice shot. It looks like a telephoto as apposed to a normal lens. I've hiked around there (even been to Camp Muir) and never was close enough to fill the frame with a normal lens like that.
Nice one. IMHO Mt. Rainier and environs are underrepresented photographic subjects, compared with the Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Yellowstone and other "American West" locations. I like all the Ansel Adams Mount Rainier images. It seems that Rainier does not rank as a photographic subject, as much as its beauty would justify. We did a family trip to Rainier and Olympic this summer, and the place was stunning.
