Hiking In The Fog

Hiking in the Fog – 1

Going through my hiking photos from years past. I didn’t take nearly as many photos when it was foggy or misty or raining. Since I primarily hiked in the Olympic National Park, that meant that I had my camera in the pack a lot of days. After a while I got a couple of different waterproof (or resistant) cameras … first a Minolta and then a Nikonos. But the Minolta didn’t have a real good lens on it and the Nikonos was a brick. Like real heavy. I was delighted when I found the digital cameras became available in a waterproof, rugged vesion (my favorite was the Nikon AW series). These were all taken the same day, but I’m not sure what camera. It was film, though.

Waiting for a Ferry — Watching a Sunset

Edmonds Ferry Terminal

Recently was taking the Edmonds ferry over to Kingston (Washington) to get home after visiting friends in the Seattle area. One of those times when we just missed getting on a ferry and had to wait (only little over 1/2 hour). The advantage was that we were waiting on the dock instead of back in the holding area. This let me walk around, enjoy the pleasant evening and take some photos of the sunset. The individual that is silhouetted standing on the top of the ramp was a ferry worker and I was unable to access that spot, but they provided a nice human interest touch to the image.

Both images taken with a Pentax 645N on Portra 400 color film.

Still Life Kayak

Still Life Kayak

This is a photo that I took years ago on a trip to Bowron Lakes Provincial Park (BC) with a couple friends, one of whom was paddling a kayak. This was shot at a campsite halfway down Isaac Lake. I have always thought it was a nice photo … but for some reason I have never done anything much with it. So with some of the new AI tools to improve resolution and reduce noise, I decided to do a print and post it here on my blog.

Point Wilson

Point Wilson Lighthouse

Point Wilson is located in Port Townsend within the boundaries of Fort Worden State Park and sits on the northeast corner of the Olympic Peninsula, where the Strait of Juan de Fuca meets Puget Sound, an area also known as Admiralty Inlet. The buildings are in need of repair … badly needed paint and the repair of other damage due to years in the weather. Below is a shot just a few feet away, on the beach, showing a lean-to that has also fallen into disrepair. No one is collecting money for the repair of the lean-to.

These shots were taken with my Pentax 643N using Portra 400 film.
