White Wildflowers
I believe this was taken the first day I’d been in the park. The day before had been a long commute from the Olympic Peninsula to Enumclaw, Washington. It also included me canceling my reservation near North Cascades due to forest-fires, but that’s a story for another time. Once I did reach the park it was awesome. The first day there was socked in with fog and rain. The weather didn’t disappoint me that much, I was enjoying the fact that I didn’t have to wake up for an early sunrise, instead just seeing where Mt Rainier took me. The White Wildflowers image from this day is one of my favorites.

As I drove along, eventually I reached a pull-out near Louise Lake. I threw my car in park, hopped out and began my hike. Louise Lake had caught my eye, and I felt like exploring.
My X100V was out and ready and after visiting Louise Lake I noticed these wildflowers. I toyed around with the framing of the scene and eventually managed to get this image I quite like. I love the way that the light gradually falls-off to nearly a complete black in the outer edges of the scene. The holes in the trees didn’t allow much light through and I managed to amplify the effect in post.
