Summit Snowstorm

by Mark Schueler

Rain, clouds, and fog almost prevented any sight or shots of Mt. Shasta on a recent visit to Northern California and Southern Oregon. Fortunately, on this day, I caught the peak just as a snowstorm was blowing over it.

Equipment: 5D + 70-200 f/2.8L IS

I am primarily a portrait and event photographer, but I enjoy landscape photography when the opportunities present themselves. I especially like landscapes that feature urban or rural decay–I like the stories told by the manmade things we leave behind.

Just drove past Mt. Shasta yesterday. It is so beautiful. Snow level all the way to the bottom of the mountain. Great shot.

In the small pic, this really did look like a breaking wave. Nice brain correction when I opened it large.
