Photographing Around Darrington
The Darrington area is a photographer’s dream, surrounded by mountains, rivers and backcountry! Wake up early to greet the sunrise, or stay up late to witness the sun as it sets, but have your camera ready! Rewarding compositions await the intrepid photographer daily. Discover the dark sky of Darrington, a whole new magical experience with photography. Consider photographing the high backcountry, where nature is at her most creative. We believe Photographer Rob Ruth expresses this perfectly –
“I find there is a strange paradox to photographing in the back country. The most likely reason for being there is to simplify, to experience wild places, the rivers, the mountains in the most uncomplicated way, to refresh the mind and soul. Yet in lifting the camera to one’s eye the photographer separates himself from that simplicity, focusing on composition, exposure and many other technical issues. When that process becomes so natural, like breathing, then the camera becomes an extension of ones vision and part of the wilderness experience. “
