This is the view from Lone Pine Campground near the town by the same name. You can see the Mt Whitney Portal access road in the lower right corner.
Mt Whitney in the Sunrise
Sunrise From Marrowstone
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
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.

- 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.
- Camera: Nikon D850
- Lens: Nikkor 80-400mm with 2x adapter for 800mm
