Very beatiful image. How much is shutter speed & aperture?

I shoot 4x5 as well, fantastic quality with both !
The recent government shutdown & park closures kept me on the logging roads, such as this one, just outside Mount Rainier NP.
The signs of logging can be distracting, but the scalping, I think, intensifies the experience of gazing up at the sublime volcano, and its diverging glaciers.
This is just outside the Park's western boundary, about 8 or 10 miles from the volcano's summit (by line of sight), and 4,500 feet in elevation. A pleasing perspective, I think: not too close, not too far, not too low, not too high. I had hoped for broken skies, or slope-kissing fog, but no luck this early evening.
Overall, Mount Rainier cradles more than 25 glaciers, and their erosive activity is far outpacing volcanic activity (i.e., the mountain-building type), robbing the volcano, century by century, of a once-higher altitude, and a once-conical shape. It’s so craggy now, it looks like a different mountain from each side, as additional images by people here show. Part of its charm for me.

Two slightly different views of "Abandoned exercise station #8" on a near-by passive recreation trail. I was originally walking along, attracted simply by the texture of the fallen leaves, and then noticed the slightly off-trail pull-up bar slowly aging. Both images are negative scans from 4x5 HP5+, developed PMK, taken with Canham DLC & Rodenstock 150mm.
