2005 - Olympic National Park

 

 

Here is my narrative describing our trip to/from and walking tour in the Olympic National Park in Washington. I'll link the corresponding pages from Jonathan's website so that folks can jump back and forth between them.

The picture above is the Olympic Range taken at sunset from the Space Needle in Seattle.

The images on the site, unless otherwise noted, were taken using an Olympus C8080 Zoom, using a high resolution, which results in JPEG's that are 3264x2448 pixels. I usually had a circular polarizing filter installed on all but a few pictures. The image size of the resulting JPEGs are about 3.5 MB each. I burned the unedited version of all images onto CDs before editing them - it took four disks to accommodate them all.

On this site, I've whittled the image size down to two sizes - a thumbnail I use on the page for the day, and a 640x480 pixel (or 480x640 pixel, assuming I haven't cropped or altered the size) image that I've saved optimized for web usage.

A lot of the images I doctored using Photoshop Elements, a trimmed down version of Adobe Photoshop. My most frequent adjustment was "Adjust Light & Shadows" to cope with the extremes of light and dark usually present in each photo - especially the ones which I took in the forests on sunny days.

If you'd like the high resolution image, drop me an email (MarkTKing <a t> mac.com) and I'll either email you a copy or set up a page where you can download the image.
