Marmot and Trail Artist's Wonderland pic s

“This last Late July and beginning of August we started out on the Wonderland Trail that goes around Mt. Rainier. Ou trip was cut short due to some bear troubles on the west side..However we had 6 full days of bliss..and here are the pictures from it. They are big files..I kept them that way for my own purposes and did not care to make two different copies.. so bear with it.. hope you enjoy...

“Wow,... great pictures,... I loved the wild flowers and the wildlife,..oh,..and the ones of the falls and of the mountains,... come to think on it I liked them all!LOL

Thanks for sharing those with us!”

“Absolutely Beautiful photos! Thank you for posting them TrailArtist. Someone has true talent with a camera!!”

“Nice pics! Reminded me of why I need to get out there again.”

“Nice pics, Trailartist. I hope we'll be seeing you two, on the next PNW trip!”

“Fantastic photos!”

“Great pictures. Backpackin is sooo cool.”

“Nice Pics!!!

And speaking of Marmot...If you ever get a chance to check out the marmot PreCip gloves, DO IT. They are Heaven on yer hands.”

“Great pics!! The waterfall on the last day was one of my favorite "non-vista" pics.”

“TrailArtist and Marmot - y'all did a superb job with those picts. I felt like I could just walk right into anyone of those and be on your trip with you!

Just out of curiosity, what film speed/brand were you using? What about your camera SLR or point and shoot?

Thanks for sharing!

Tx”

“Glad you all enjoyed them...
As for camera equipment...
2 cameras went. Pentax K1000 an all manual older model with a pentax 28-80 mm lens.

the other camera was a Minolta Vectis 40 a fancy APS point and shoot.

Film for the vectis was mainly Fuji Nexia 200.

The film for the SLR:
Agfa HDC+100 (no longer available..and never so in the US, mine came from Japan)
Agfa Optima II 100 (professional)
Fuji NPC 160 (professional)

All were color films... the roll of black and white that got shot on the Minolta has yet to appear.

The reason some of the sunrise shots look closer to a black and white is because of the speed of film the lighting and how I set them up (f-stops and shutter speed and all)

I was most pleased with the the SLR Fuji film on this trip.. it really brought out the variety of colors incredibly well.

BC Trail Guy: That is a mutual feeling from us... Marmot and I spend alot of the winter backcountry snowshoe backpacking..really our favorate time to go... if you are equipped for that kind of backpacking and interested...let us know...we could try to throw a group one together. Isn't the PNW great?!”

“Cool pictures! What was the elevation gain and loss like?

Wow, another small group of people who actually backpack here, how unique!”

“trailartist, those salmonberries look yellow in the photo. Did you eat those? Or were they really red and ripe?”

“Must be the light..those were nice salmon colored salmon berries..and they were yummy sweet delicious!”

“Trailartist- I'm good to go, for the snow camp idea, although I don't actually own any snowshoes. I'm sure a lot of southern TTers would find that hard to believe.
:-)

Keep me posted”

“Very nice pics. I'd love to go with some TTers on a trip out there sometime.

You foaks in the Pacific Northwest need to plan more ECTs out there. Er ... WCTs, or PCTs, or PNWTs, or whatever.”

“I enjoyed those pics. It's so green there. They really captured the NW. I'd like to try a salmonberry.”

“Marmot & Trail Artist, those were great pictures. Like Phil, I also liked the last waterfall picture. The flower pics were great. You should enlarge some of them.”

“Thanks for sharing. Never even seen a salmonberry!! You did a great job photo documenting your trip.”

“Absolutely beautiful pictures! What a cool place to be able to visit. I really liked the waterfalls on day 2 and the wildflowers on day 6.”

“I only eat the red ones:

“Wonderful photos. Loved the morning shots of the mountain on Day 6. Thanks so much for posting them.”

“Fine work. Probably just slightly fun, too.... yes?”
