My Image Your View, Stevens Peak in Mt Rainier NP
Oct 7, 2019 14:05:26 #
Here is a picture of Stevens Peak taken this July from the Skyline Trail NE of Paradise in the Mt Rainier National Park. We had been in the clouds earlier in the afternoon and we followed the trail using GPS. The trail was not well marked and, at times, the clouds reduced visibility to just a few feet. As we got towards the latter half of the loop trail, the clouds broke and gave us this beautiful view of the local mountains.

You also captured my favorite mountain wildflowers: avalanche lilies!

Hi Linda, I thought you might appreciate this image since its right in your backyard. In July, we spent a week hiking in Rainier NP and another week in Olympic NP. Truly gorgeous places. With snow on the mountains all year long, snow melt creates waterfalls everywhere. If your into waterfalls, this is a great place to go. At Olympic NP, the Hoa Rain Forest was especially unique and true to its name, it did rain on us. Mike

Such a wonderful spot. I treated each section just a bit, to bring out its full potential. Then I put myself in, a young artist with a sketchbook (in the Rockies originally), to enjoy the scene, and the opportunity to make a great sketch.

I broke this photo apart in 4 parts then treated each one separately, foreground, tree line, sky and mountain, and then came back and dealt with the blue hue in the forward snow. I also cleaned up some of the black spots in the foreground snow.

This was fun but I am not sure that my view is an improvement; I original is so good to begin with. I used Photoshop, Landscape Pro and Topaz Adjust AI to play with the image.

I probably tried too hard to get rid of the haze.... but I'm not going back to rework it

Beautiful image. Just some basic edits finished with Dodge and Burn.

This is such a beautiful view. I hated to even try to "improve" it. But I liked how Linda was able to draw out detail in the foreground, so I lightened the shadows a bit. The trees looked crooked to me, so I rotated it a few degrees. Not sure it's right yet. After bringing the shadows up, it looked too light, so I darkened it a bit. It looked fine in LR, but in my Windows viewer it looks a tad dark.
