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 …
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.
Photos of sunsets and sailboats are pretty common and a challenge to make unique. I thought the warm colors of this boat anchored off of the Port Townsend waterfront made this image worth sharing.
Shot on Kodak Portra 400 … this is an image that would have been noticeably more sharp with my digital camera. I like the feel to this one, though.
This gull was willing to stay still while I puttered with exposure settings. This is the Port Townsend waterfront looking south to the NE corner of the Olympic Mountains (well, with a bunch of clouds mixed in). For a wider angel view (without the gull), see below.
These were taken from the boat launch and campground area of Fort Flagler State Park on the north end of Marrowstone Island. The top photo shows the northeast corner of the Olympic Mountains including Mt Constance (the tallest pointy one) … the more rounded summit that looks higher, but is only closer, is Mt Townsend. In the foreground distance is a crane loading (or unloading) munitions from a Navy ship at the Naval Magazine on Indian Island. Below shows the northeast Olympics running west towards Port Angeles. The water in both images is the mouth of Kilisut Harbor off of Port Townsend Bay.
