Halle’s Smooooth Words o’ Wisdom

It took three separate trips to Mt. St. Helens’ summit to get these pictures right. The first trip all I had was a 20mm lens and everything was too far away. The second trip I carried a 180mm lens with a doubler attachment but unfortunately forgot to bring radios to properly place the athlete Blake Osmundsen. The wind was howling and the possibility of Blake hearing me yell, “climb a little higher dude!” over 1/2 mile’s distance was nil. The third trip to the top was the charm.
