After returning from Europe two weeks ago, I wanted to get outside for a quick trip. My flight landed in the middle of the day, so I didn’t have time to go far. I decided to grab my big panoramic film camera and head up to Snow and Gem Lakes, near Snoqualmie Pass, both of which are super popular destinations that I had been to countless times in the winter, but somehow never in the summer. The whole Alpental Valley and surrounding area is truly spectacular, even I often overlook it for more distant spots. Here are a few pics taken on both film and digital, let me know what you think!
A silhouetted Mount Garfield imposing over the Middle Fork. Digital.
Kaleetan and Roosevelt over Gem Lake at dusk. Ektar 100 film.
Evening light on Mount Snoqualmie, shrouded in clouds. Looks like coverage on the Slot and Crooked Couloirs is pretty thin! Digital.
Morning light on Chair Peak, above Snow Lake. Ektar 100
Bonus shot: Back May I took the 6x17 up to Deception Pass to photograph the sunset with Gantavya. Ektar 100.
