This one stopped traffic going into Orting Washington as people were capturing it with their cell phones, anything they had, and just being a witness to a truly spectacular event mother nature so provided for all whom where lucky enough to watch it unfold. I was lucky enough to get it from start to finish at 30 second intervals while my Nikon clicked off about 200+ shots. Every one is different, the winds are moving so fast at 10,000 plus feet.
The last one is untouched, it was that color.
Enjoy

Mother nature is truly amazing. You are very lucky to witness such an event. :thumbup: :thumbup:
Wow 3 breathtaking shots I love them.
So much for "cheap" science fiction composite images. Chalk one up to truth being stranger then fiction. Mother Nature can produce her own. Nice catch.

Great shot! That's something you don't see very often.
Wish I'd had a chance to see something like that when I lived in Washington State.

What was the problem? Too much sunny weather and not enough clouds? :D

What a cloud! The middle shot has such nice definition and contrast.
I climbed Rainier twice, once in 1980 and once in 1983, made the summit the first time, didn't the second. For a kid from Arizona, the glaciers were awe-inspiring and terrifying, especially as noisy as they are, creaking and groaning, and the crevasses put the fear of God in me. . .
Spectacular captures.

Great capture. Thanks for sharing.
Saw Rainier for several months while at Ft. Lewis many, many years ago. Your photo of this event is just super.
Great shots of a fantastic event.
Thanks to all whom enjoyed mother nature's show. I've lived in Orting for about 20 years, and never had the chance to capture from start to finish. It was a real treat for all.
Cheers, Rollo
Ya, the clouds broke and there it was, just starting to form the mass above the Mt. Some of the ones from right to left are from Mt. St. Helen's that had been blown north west to us. It was amazing to see and even more so to capture it. Got really lucky I was able to set up and let the intervolometer do its thing.
Cheers, Rollo
