#unleashThe Snow King

 

After Mt. Rainier, Mt. Baker is the most heavily glaciated of the Cascade Range. It is also one of the snowiest places in the world. The volume of snow and ice on Mt. Baker, 0.43 cubic miles, is greater than that of all the other Cascades volcanoes (except Rainier) combined. This is a unique view of the mountain, made along Boulder Creek near Baker Lake. When I arrived at my chosen venue for sunrise I found ground fog and clouds pulsing in the wind. Gradually the conditions improved enough to make a set of two photographs that allowed me to create the complete image I envisioned.

Lovely, I really like the foreground stream leading to the epic scene in the background.

Thanks, Ian. I believe this is the first image from this location ever published. At least no one I know has said they have seen any other.

    I've been meaning to do a first post for a while. Thanks to Ian et al for getting this rolling, i hope it will be a first rate location to learn, be inspired and share so we all grow and develop in our shared passion :) Below is an image of Buacheille Etive Mor - a lump of rock at the entrance to Glens Coe and Etive. It has a charisma most mountains lack. I wanted to portray its resistance to everything thrown at it - it is shot thousands of times a year, but often with adornments and additions from the surrounding landscape. On this day I felt it owned the image all by itself. So, critique and comments are more than welcome. thanks for viewing

    Hi Ian/everyone, this is my first time posting in this forum. This image was taken in South Island NZ for a morning sunrise. Canon EOS 5D Mark III, 24-70mm lens F2.8; focal length 28mm @ ISO 100, F7.1, 1/30sec. This is a three exposure image, edited in LR and PS. Thank you for your critique. (Mary Jo Gomez-Jackson)
