It all depends on which way you look…

Looking NE towards Mt Baker

I thought these photos were all interesting … even without the fact that they were all taken from about the same spot. (not on the same day) They are all taken from Marrowstone Island, which is just southeast of Port Townsend, WA. The body of water is Puget Sound. I like the variation in mood between these. I especially like the stormy weather shot just below that has the grass blowing into a blur.

I should add that these are all shot on film. The black and white on Tri-X and the color on Portra 400. The black and whites were shot using a Nikon F100 and the color using a Nikon F75.

Partial Rainbows

Partial Rainbow 1

I expect that partial rainbows are much more common than full rainbows. We get both kinds pretty often here in Port Townsend … one of the advantages of our frequently rainy weather (and there aren’t many). But I saw several in a couple of days the last week or so. The rain plus broken clouds did the trick.

Lenticular Clouds

Lenticular Clouds

I saw these lenticular clouds over Mt Rainier from Olympia. The mountain wasn’t visible, but I was familiar with where it was and knew that these clouds typically form just as a frontal system is coming in … being rainy weather. And the next day it was raining. The lower clouds have a rounded form that is quite interesting in itself. And lenticular clouds are fairly common over Mt Rainier, but usually only a single lens. This was unusual.
