The last couple posts showed Mt Rainier and Mt Baker in the sunrise. Here is what it looked like in between the two peaks.
- Camera: Nikon D850
- Lens: Nikkor 80-400mm (panorama created in Lightroom)
- ISO 400 1/800 sec f/11
The very thin crescent waxing moon sets just after sunset, but the thin waning moon rises before dawn. I don’t have as many shots, since I have to drive for a while before I have a view. On February 21st, I drove to where I had a view … but a thin cloud layer made the moon hard to focus on … and hard to pick out of the haze. (It’s at the top in the middle) I used binoculars to spot the moon as it rose above the Cascades and Puget Sound. Just lucky with the shipping traffic.
Photo taken at sunrise from Alki Beach, “Birthplace of Seattle”. Note the two ferries heading to Seattle… the one of the left is coming from Bremerton, the one on the right from Bainbridge Island.
