- I am returning to Mazama Ridge at Mount Rainier National Park. This has become an annual trip for me - as this is my third year going here in the winter to photograph. For this trip, I departed Paradise with a mix of clouds and sun but managed a significant change in the weather later in the day with heavy snow, wind and cold temperatures (18F / -8C). While I was forced to shelter in the tent during the afternoon and evening, I was able to get out and take some photos in the morning. The winter atmosphere always makes for an interesting subject, and I was able to come away with some good shots.
I took the pulk along again this year. Pulling it is a challenge, but it affords me the storage to bring additional photography gear and a larger tent. This is, in my opinion, still an overall better choice than scaling down to only a backpack - at least for this type of shorter trip.
The Sony gear performed well in the cold temperatures and snow conditions. No issues.

And there was a lovely Full Moon behind you. 🤷 This is not the same PULK that you made in your garage? Lovely scenery, I am especially impressed with the long distance shot of you snowshoeing in up the mountain - that's a long way to walk to place a camera unless you have a drone. Subbed by the way and Merry Christmas.
Thanks. That is not the same pulk. :). This one was the Paris Pulk with fiberglass poles... I still like it better. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching... by the way, no drones are permitted in a national park, so that is all footwork ;) Merry Christmas
@@TimKirkPhotos ''by the way, no drones are permitted in a national park''. Why not - it is not a National Secret location so I don't get that part unless they disturb wildlife, create avalanches etc?
Glad you got enough light for some lovely shots. What a heavenly location for a short winter retreat!
Thank you! I love this area, and it usually provides some great opportunity for photos.
Seemed like an exhausting hike in. Very inspiring and truly outstanding. Thank you.
It was a workout, but overall an amazing experience. It's totally different being out in the winter vs being out in the summer. It makes one really appreciate the connection with nature - total silence, feeling nature all around, tranquil. Thanks so much for all the support.
..cool video keep up the great content.. Thank you…
Thanks for the comment. I really enjoyed this trip and looking forward as we move into spring season.
@@TimKirkPhotos Thank you very mutch... have a nice day.... see you….
Tim, I always love your winter camping/photography videos and this one is no exception. Outstanding! SR
thanks Steve - appreciate the comment. This was a fun trip, and I was excited to share the experience with everyone.
Very nice Tim. The next to las image in the video was really nice. The subtle colors were very calming.
Thank you. I wasn't sure of the conditions when i woke up, but glad some opportunities developed.
Great video and workout. I have done daytime snowshoe up to Mazama Ridge and back down with just a light daypack (A6300 and one lens), but pulling that pulk up something that steep is on another level. Video work was great as well. The video uphill where you are breaking trail must of took a pretty big effort. I was trying to figure out how you positioned the camera without making snow tracks.
Camera positioning is an art form and requires careful "round about" planning. :) Going up the ridge with a pulk is certainly a workout (and coming down was no joke either - not so much the steepness but rather the avalanche danger had increased overnight and I had to stay in the trees and off of the open slopes). Thanks for watching and appreciate the comment.
Tim, do you ever have problems with your camera batteries in the cold? Do you carry spares, or do you use something to recharge them in the back country?
Camera batteries are always a challenge in the cold. It was 18F - so certainly a challenge. During winter overnights, I keep one battery with me in my sleeping bag at night and carry this as a spare battery in my glove or pocket during the day. I also carry 4 extra batteries that I keep in my backpack. During this trip, I didn’t have any battery issues with either camera - even though they were left out all night.
