It was a rainy overcast day in the Mount Rainier National Park when I photographed this scene.  I was taken by this towering majestic landscape when I first saw it but I was a long time under trying conditions getting it on film.  Most of the exposures I made of this scene were done under an umbrella and even then many of them had spots on the finished negative because of rain drops on the front of the lens.  However, the negative from which I made this print was not made unusable by the harsh wind and rain on that day.  If you look closely you can see that the water from the glacier fed runoff in the stream below has a bluish cast typical of glacier fed lakes and rivers and the exposure was long enough to allow the stream movement to “paint” on the film.  I used the Mamiya RZ67 with the 50mm ULD lens (tripod mounted and mirror-up) to expose this scene on Kodak Portra 400 VC negative film.
