Tipsoo dawn

squirl033

went up to Tipsoo Lake, near Mt Rainier, this past weekend to catch the sunrise. i got there the evening before to do some recon and find the best vantage point. after the sun went down, i flopped the car seat back and snoozed for about 3 hours, then got up to shoot some star shots, then napped again for another hour or so and got up again at 5:00 for coffee and a sandwich before heading over to the lake. i got set up about a quarter to 6:00, and at 6:05, right on schedule, the sun touched the top of the mountain. i got this shot about 5 minutes later... the mountain was in full alpenglow, but the sun hadn't yet come over the ridge behind me to light up the area around the lake... Canon 5D, Tammy 24-135 @ 89mm, 1/2 sec @ f/13...

That's it! I'm moving close to Mt Rainier. All the wonderful recent images of the area are killing me. :cry

Nice shot.

You got some really nice glow on the mountain. Sweet shot.

Gorgeous alpenglow! Looks like your hard work paid off.

Hope you treated yourself to a decent breakfast and a cup of hot coffee. (I find those remarkably adequate rewards after a long night/morning of shooting)

Great picture, well worth the aggravation.
