The last couple posts showed Mt Rainier and Mt Baker in the sunrise. Here is what it looked like in between the two peaks.

- Lens: Nikkor 80-400mm (panorama created in Lightroom)
- ISO 400 1/800 sec f/11
Sunrise From Marrowstone
Mt Baker Sunrise
Same sunrise as my previous post, also from Marrowstone Island. This is one looking north to Mt Baker instead of south to Mt Rainer.
- Camera: Nikon D850
- Lens: Nikkor 80-400mm set at 360mm
- ISO 3200 1/500 sec f/11
Mt Rainier in the Sunrise
This is a shot from Marrowstone Island just southeast of Port Townsend with Nodule Point in the foreground.

- Lens: Nikkor 80-400mm set at 320
- ISO 3200 1/160 f/11
13 Percent Waning Moon
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.

Olympic Mountains and Puget Sound
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.

North Cascades Sunrise II
This is a 3 image HDR (High Dynamic Range) composite with the exposures being one stop apart. I took a set of 5, but using the whole set resulted in too much ghosting. The peak on the far left horizon is Mt Baker.
- Camera: Fujifilm GFX-50R
- Lens: Fujinon 63mm
- ISO 100 1/80 sec f/2.8
Sunrise over Twin Sisters
Visiting a friend just outside of the small town of Acme in NW Washington. A wonderful view from the kitchen table. (Note that this is a normal lens and basically uncropped.) Mt Baker is the bump just behind the ridge on the left side of the image. I tried various HDR images, but the clouds were moving so fast that they didn’t really turn out well.

Sunrise over Whidbey Island
While I enjoy summers in the Pacific Northwest, I’ll have to admit that I don’t see as many sunrises during May, June and July. This was September 2nd and I was up at 6 AM. But worth the early rise to enjoy this colorful display. This is taken from Marrowstone Island, the water is Admiralty Inlet, and if it wasn’t cloudy, you would see some of the Cascade Mountains in the distance.
