Mount Rainier Scenic Night Shoot

[DelmonteX]

MRSR held a photo charter this past Saturday.

I was only able to make it out to the event for the night session.

A big thanks to the MRSR staff and volunteers. I'm pretty sure they were all pretty tired after such a long day. I haven't been up there since the "shops" became the "Museum". It's quite a nice transformation. Lot of hard work involved.

Thanks also to the lighting crew!


Here's what I came away with (after some digital development time).

1) Some of the MRSR crew relaxing in front of a work in progress, before the night session starts. This is a three exposure HDR image. Not to everyone's taste, but I like it.

2) The Willamette using ambient lighting. f11 .4 seconds at ISO 10,000.

3) Another angle on the Willamette.

4) A recent addition to the operating steam roster.

5) #70 and #2 face off for a nice shot.

6) #70 illuminates #2, while Tom lights up #70.

Maybe Bob will post some of his shots!

I like the HDR. It gives the photos a vintage "colorized postcard" look. The b & w photos are reminiscent of O. Winston Link.

Thanks Bill!

Did you do any post processing on the B&W's? I like them a lot. Tom

Thanks!

Quite a bit of postprocessing actually, but I can't recall my recipe. Nearly all of it was done in Lightroom.
