So a lot has happened in the last 4 plus months. I made two trips up to Rainier and a trip to the Olympics. Doesn't sound like much, but they were extended trips - and I came away with some images.
Having never been to the Olympics (I know..my bad), I didn't know what to expect. This National Park is unlike anything I have ever experienced. With that, I mean the diversity of the landscape, and also that it is really spread out. I didn't think I saw an "entrance", like you would see at Yosemite or Rainier, etc, etc.
We also went at probably the driest time of the year, so the Hoh, while still impressive, was dry and not gleaming green. Up here in the PNW, we had quite the dry summer - and many "boring" clear skies and sunsets.
Mt. Rainier treated us to some nice color, although during the 8 days/nights I was up here this summer, there was a nice sunset maybe 2 times. The rest was either fogged in (2 times) or clear (5). Oh well, I have some nice shots from there.
A few weeks after I got back from Rainier in August, I sold my camera to pay some bills off finally. It seems the D610 is being released in less than a week (19th of October), so prices on the D600 will drop a ton, which I will pick up most likely. So I will be on the lookout for a new camera in the coming weeks/months.
In late February, I am hoping to get out to Iceland for several weeks. Also, I have calendars available for sale - and magnetic bottle openers as well. You can contact me via email, or through my website.
This shot was taken after a 6+ mile haul into the backcountry of Mt. Rainier. Brutal hike and the mosquitoes were relentless...
