Mt. Rainier - Christine Falls

As it turned out, it was a lousy day for photography around Mt. Rainier. Total overcast and fog. As such, all the colors were quite muted. Sooo, conversion to black & white was the order of the day, along with a mild sepia tone. Shutter speed and aperture escape me now, but I used a 6 stop ND filter to get the long exposure. Post work involved PS Elements for dodging & burning, and Nik Silver Efex for a mild vignette and sepia tone. My go-to camera was the Panasonic Lumix FZ1000. Comments are always welcome. Good, bad, or otherwise. Ken

Actually that is the weather I prefer for early morning Nature images.
I like the image, but the whites are blown out( no detail at all).

I also like those overcast days for waterfall pictures. There are no shafts of sunlight messing up the scene.

When working with Nik Silver Efex, those highlights were resting in zone 9, so yes, there's little to no detail. If I brought them down to zone 8 or lower, I'd have troubles with the shadows. So, I left well enough alone. What would you have done?

I'm no expert, but I'm wondering what the raw exposure was in terms of whites. Lots of contrast here, a tad too much for my taste. The long exposure for the "milk" effect makes detail less relevant except in a few spots. Nice comp and overall great shot. Thanks for sharing.
