I climbed up onto this ridge before sunrise and got set up. I remember doing a quick scan of the scene with the spot meter and I immediately knew I was in for a tough one. The range of zones was already wide between foreground and distant and I knew it would be worse once the sun hit the snow. I decided to expose for the foreground, putting it into zone IV to retain detail and then depending on how bright the snow was either give the negative N-1 or N-2 development to prevent the snow from getting totally blown out. Once the sun had come up over the ridge I had my answer, N-2. The pulled processing did increase the grain in the sky, but you can't get something for nothing, not with film anyway. The image on the monitor does not do the final print justice, but then again I have yet to find a monitor that does. My monitor does not hold the detail in the forground nearly as well as the print does. This one is also hanging on my wall, but in 16x20.What I found the most unique about Mt. Ranier is that if you were to view it from all 4 points of the compass, it would look like an entirely different mountain. In this case I was south, looking north. The first image, taken from Alder lake, was north looking south. <a href="http://s1338.photobucket.com/user/photodotnet/media/Raniersunrise-1000_zps4f28a2cc.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1338.photobucket.com/albums/o690/photodotnet/Raniersunrise-1000_zps4f28a2cc.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a></blockquote>
