I usually try to avoid having my shadow in the photo. But I decided to intentionally include it in these shots (really!) … just because you should always break the photo rules once in a while. I kinda like how these turned out.
Me and My Shadow
Cold Weather Sipping
The Port Townsend Vineyard’s tasting room in right along the waterfront in downtown PT. Besides a very nice interior space, there is an excellent patio that is enjoyed year round (by those souls brave enough). When the sun comes out in the middle of winter, bundling up around a fire with a nice glass of wine is enjoyed by many.
Misty Mountain Views
These two were taken at the same time, just with the top one zoomed in on the ridgeline. The mountains are the northeast corner of the Olympic Mountains as seen from the waterfront in Port Townsend. We had just had a brush with an “atmospheric river” … Port Townsend barely got wet from the rain shadow effect from the Olympics. But the left over moisture in the air is clearly visible in the mist.
Cloudscape
This was taken from the waterfront at Port Townsend, looking south to the northeast corner of the Olympic Mountains. A brief break in the shower activity that day. The ferry runs across Puget Sound to Whidbey Island and the Coupeville landing.
Taken with my medium format Pentax 634N camera on Kodak Portra 400 …
Looking East and West at Sunset
These were taken less than 10 minutes apart … from Marrowstone I have to cross Indian Island to get home in Port Townsend. The top photo is looking pretty much southeast … Mt Rainer lies just to the left of the closest point. Below looks southwest to the Mt Constance – Buckhorn group of peaks … the northeast corner of the Olympic Mountains. Taken with my 70-300mm zoom on my Nikon D850: the top photo at 70mm and the bottom at 300mm.
