Mount Rainier National Park

Another fantastic workshop in Mount Rainier National Park where the light, mountains, flowers and water combined for beautiful scenery. The image above was taken as the sun set on the Tatoosh Range. The warm light was fantastic.

The next morning, Mount Rainier looked magnificent in the photograph below reflecting in a small stream that feeds a nearby lake.

The flowers were abundant all over the park and I found this nice grouping along a mountain stream flowing with water from a glacier on the mountain.

The last morning of the workshop provided a nice layer of fog along the range and once again, great light on the mountains and the flower covered meadows.

    Thanks Mike for posting these photos. I visited Rainier for the firs time this July and your photos made me feel like I was seeing old friends again. The lupines were just starting to bloom then, but the Avalanche lilies were spectacular.

    Thanks for the comment Tony. I missed the Avalanche Lilly this year but the other blooming wildflowers were spectacular!

    Hi Mike, Back in Va and I think I just landed a job at the Army Navy Drive facility; can you imagine. I thought of you when a stink bug bit me on my shoulder last evening. You were correct: they do bite. I love your photos.

    Keep in touch. Sonjia

    Congratulations Sonjia! I’ll try to keep posting those photos. 🙂

Grand Teton NP

I attended a JKPW workshop in Grand Teton National Park. The weather was hot but the morning and sunset shoots were spectacular. The iconic Teton range behind the Moulton barn on Mormon Row is a classic shot in this park. The morning sky provided great light on this scene.

The daytime temperatures were in the 90s and wildlife sightings were fewer than normal but herds of bisons were still seen in the park’s meadows.

There were nice displays of yellow, white and blue flowers around the park. The image below was taken along Oxbow Bend with Mt. Moran in the distance.
