Hikers caught in a snowstorm, Mt Hood, December 2016

August 25, 2018 in photographs

Camera and Lens: Sony A7II, 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lens
Settings: 70mm, ISO 500, f/5.6, 1/80sec

I don't know what I was thinking that day. From Timberline Lodge, I started walking up, and up. It was cloudy, but otherwise a nice day.

When I was close to Palmer lift, at around 8,500ft, the weather started to change: the clouds I had been photographing a while ago reached all of us up there, and it was like being in the middle of a blizzard.

Luckily, it's easy to find your way back from there, and after just a few minutes walking the weather got back to calm.

But in the middle of all of that, I got this image of two hikers coming back down to safety.
