Volcanic Autumn by Alex Noriega

Washington’s 14,411-foot Mount Rainier, seen from high above Tipsoo Lake during a foggy autumn sunrise. Yet another image that’s been sitting on my hard drive for 8 or 9 months! I wanted a composition that showcased the fall foliage here, and that displayed Rainier’s dominance of the surrounding landscape in context. I’ve always thought Rainier looked like a raisin in the typical ultra-wide reflection shots from the lake shore below, but she’s a behemoth! Hopefully this image conveys her commanding presence.

Processing Instruction Sorry about the quality, 500px compression is having a field day with all the detail in this file. You can see it uncompressed on my website here. Sad that even Facebook’s compression is less aggressive than 500’s nowadays.
