I haven’t done a “Monday Mountain” in quite a while, but I thought I show off this photograph of a rugged, snowcapped peak in the Northern Cascades. Unless previous episodes, where I wrote about particular mountains, I have no clue how this peak is called. If anyone recognizes this quite distinctive shape and has an idea, please leave the name in the comment section.
Image specs are 1/800 sec @ f/7.1 and ISO 200, focal length was 100mm (200mm focal length full frame equivalent). The photo was taken with my OM-D E-M1 and the mZuiko 12-100mm F/4 Pro Zoom a few minutes after takeoff in Seattle, on our way towards Canada, while we were still climbing to cruising altitude.

I finally got home from Portland at Saturday evening, in the middle of a little snow storm. And I made the birthday party with only one hour of delay. Next time I set a foot into an airplane it will be for a week of vacation in NYC with the Significant Other. Less than three weeks to go. Life is not too bad 😉
Wish you all a great week!

Beautiful photo! I was wondering what camera do you use to take your photos? Currently for my own blog I am using just an I-phone and was wondering if you have found benefits of using an actual camera?
Thanks, Zach, much appreciated! Although I do shoot with my iPhone (6s), I much prefer having a camera with me, as the bigger sensors capture much more tonal information, especially as I prefer shooting in RAW. And while I love the panorama possibilities of my phone camera, optical zoom is still non-existing or pretty much sucks in a phone camera. So when I want to zoom in, I rely on my camera and the lenses I have. I use the Olympus m4/3 mirrorless system. Light, small (compared to full frame DSLR’s) but with sublime image quality. Olympus has a wide range of cameras, from the entry OM-D E-M10 Mark II to the Flagship E-M1 Mark II. Hope this helps! Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you need more info! Marcus

Thanks, Cate, more reason for you to head to the Pacific Northwest in the summer 😉
You’re absolutely right!!!
Another splendid photo Marcus. It’s so nice that your next US trip will be for a holiday. New York is such an exciting city so I’ll look forward to your photos and we still have Easter first to look forward too. M.
Thanks, Marion. You are right about Easter 🙂 ! Hope you are having a great week! Marcus
I love this feature! We live in British Columbia so can some of the Cascades as well as Mt. Baker. We have Mt. Cheam that many people know. I couldn’t live where there weren’t mountains!
Thanks for your great comment! Marcus
That is a super cool photo, but I have no idea what peak that is. Perhaps someone who’s an avid mountaineer in this region can help you.
Thanks 🙂 ! Someone will come up with the answer, I’m sure….
