Light and Shadow
Taken on a backpacking trip near Mount Rainier. I try to not "chase the light" and instead be there with a composition ready when it comes. Landscape photography is something I want to be calm and meditative. But, on this evening, I started heading to the viewpoint I had in mind a bit too late, and so I had to run up the ridge and then scramble to find a composition. The view was absolutely incredible, and definitely worth running for. The sun was interacting with the clouds in beautiful ways and lighting up the meadows below, with Rainier looming in the distance.
