Foggy Winter Day in the Kittitas Valley

While hanging out at my cousin’s property in the lower Kittitas Valley near Ellensburg last weekend, we watched the fog roll in down the valley. In order to get this angle, my camera was mounted on a tripod and positioned very close to the ground.

Camera specs: Nikon D700, Nikon 80-200mm lens at 200mm, F2.8, 1/3000 second, ISO 200.

Automotive photography is a passion of mine. Whether it is a street rod, classic car or a 4×4, I enjoy capturing details and including scenic backgrounds when possible.

When we made a family trip this past weekend to the lower Kittitas Valley near Ellensburg, Washington, I couldn’t resist capturing this image of my Toyota Land Cruiser on my cousin’s property.

“Winter Day in the Kittitas Valley”

Over the past weekend, we met up with my cousin and his family and made a trip to their newly purchased 20 acres in the lower Kittitas Valley just outside Ellensburg, Washington. We couldn’t have asked for a better day (well, maybe more sunshine) with 4 to 6 inches of snow on the ground; non-existent winds, and; temperatures in the upper 30′s. Considering the weather we’ve recently been having in the Seattle area, it was a nice change – dry and cold instead of damp and cold.

Just outside the Northwest corner of Mt Rainier National Park is a mountain lake called Coplay Lake. From the bridge that crosses the Carbon River, a forest service road leads to the lake. During typical days in late December, the lake is not accessible by four wheeled vehicles, however, this year, the snow pack in this area is a little late coming and I was still able to drive my Land Cruiser to the lake (doubtful on the day I am writing this because of a winter storm in the mountains).

Here are a few historic pictures of Edgewood, Washington we had laying around in boxes at the fire station. I photographed the prints with my iPhone and edited them in Lightroom. Not perfect, but not to bad either, considering the conditions of the prints.
