Another image of the beautiful Christine falls from Mt Rainier National Park. In my earlier posts about our visit to the park, I have talked about how our trip to the park coincided with a storm. The storm pretty much covered the entire park in clouds, and the whole time we were there, we couldn’t even seethe main attraction of the park, Mt Rainier itself. We were not discouraged, though and the reason for our bright outlook was the sheer number of beautiful waterfalls around the park.
The stormy overcast conditions were perfect for waterfall photography. Christine Falls, located on the eastern side of the park, and with such a beautiful setting, we could not afford not to visit the waterfall. While the scene at Christine falls is gorgeous, it’s the only composition you can make here as I am not sure getting to the fall's base is even possible. After taking the standard composition, I tried some variations in attempting to frame the waterfall with a tree near the viewing platform. I intended to give a certain depth to the scene. The technical details are pretty straight forward. I used a polarizing filter and a three-stop ND filter to slow the shutter speed and cut down the foliage glare.
