A view at Mt. Baker's Heather Meadows Picnic Area at the end of a trip along Washington's Mt. Baker Scenic Byway (SR542). (13-07-25-5110)
After getting up at 2:30 in the morning to drive three hours to be at the lake for sunrise, I was hoping for more awesome dawn colors.
Still the mist on the water was kind of cool,

One roll of film....6 destinations, two states, two countries, over 10 months. Mountains, waterfalls and sunsets. Forest details and foreign lands.
One of the biggest selling points when I purchased my Hasselblad a few years ago, was that it has interchangeable backs....of which I have three. I usually have one loaded with 160 color negative film, one with black and white of some sort (400 or pushed a couple stops to 1600), and one with positive slide film (Provia or Velvia). I don't always (and in fact very rarely) carry all three backs or even two.....but it's nice to have options. The slide film back is my least used....but often most valued. The films require precision and adjustments while shooting, and additional time and considerable monies to develop. But the results can be spectacular, full of color and almost void of grain.
I recently got this roll back from the lab. Loaded in a film back, this roll traveled over 6200 miles....and that is just where I made exposures. I had no idea of its contents or quality...but have been enjoying the surprise.
This is one of the first images made on this roll of Provia 100F. The third evening of a backpacking trip up in the Mt. Baker Wilderness. Looking over the valley, watching the sky change colors and the sun drop below the mountains. Over 10 months from light hitting this frame to me posting it now....all the while hanging out in a little black box, waiting for it's chance to shine.

September in the PNW is truly the best time to explore the vast hinterlands of the Cascades. The temperatures are a bit cooler, the bugs are gone, fires usually die down, and the occasional storms provide for some photogenic cloudscapes. And it comes with the added bonus of delicious ripe blueberries and huckleberries waiting to be picked up. The stark changes in the hues of the landscape towards the end of the month is just icing on the cake.
I can't wait for the next year to see such mountaintop vistas once again.

I almost didn't get this shot.
It was getting dark and cold at the summit of the peak near Mt Baker. My shoes, having been soaked in slushy snow for the better part of the evening, was starting to freeze over. And I didn't relish the thought of walking down on snowy trails in pitch black.
But last light of twilight wasn't done yet. As a dark blue hue enveloped the sky from the eastern horizon, the western sky transitioned from bright yellow to a deep orange the likes of which I had never seen before. And against this backdrop, the unmistakable cone of Mt Baker rose up framed by a gradation of colors. And I knew I had to stop and get this.
