STORY BEHIND THE IMAGE | ||||
|
|
It
was a damp mid-July weekend at Mt. Rainier. I don't think I ever saw the
mountain itself that entire weekend. Given the tremendous amount of annual
snowfall that falls on the subalpine meadows between 5000 and 6000 feet in
elevation, it was now essentially very early summer. This can be a time of
very lush vegetation as snow banks begin to melt and plants emerge. The soft light and minimal wind
this day were perfect
for close-up photography. In this image, fresh, new season's leaves of false hellebore
are uncurling after a
rain. Location: Near Paradise, Mt. Rainier National Park, Washington Technical: Pentax 6x7 with 90/2.8 lens on Fujichrome Velvia film Exposure: 1 sec at f/22
