It's time for another roundup of some recent photography excursions! First, a view from Pratt Balcony, looking over the Middle Fork Snoqualmie River. I took some pictures from this viewpoint last December. This more recent image lacks the fun mist of the December trip, but has deeper colors and clearer visibility. F/14.
Next, a salmonberry flower in the woods along the trail to Pratt Balcony. I was concerned that the contrast would be too high and the highlights would overexpose, but the result isn't bad at all. I was even able to preserve some of the blue in the sky. This picture is special, because it's my first wildflower photograph of the year! F/9.
Prior to the Pratt Balcony trip, I walked the main trail in O. O. Denny Park in Kirkland, wanting to get at least a short trip in before a forecasted rain started to fall. The trail is short and mostly follows a small creek before a brief climb up a hillside to terminate unceremoniously at a road. For a city trail, it's pretty lush and remote-feeling; the ravine and dense woods screen out sight and sound of the surrounding neighborhoods. I didn't have much time for photography before it started raining, but I was able to get this nice image with new Indian plum leaves in the foreground, and the creek in the background. F/8.
Next, a wider view of the creek, with a cedar trunk in the foreground. F/18.
All for now. Hopefully some more wildflowers soon!
