\"Lush<\/a><\/p>\n

The Quinault Rain Forest in Washington’s Olympic National Park is a lush and vibrant setting with limitless possibilities for photography. Along with the Queets and Hoh, it is one of the largest temperate rain forests in the lower 48 and receives an amazing 12 to 14 feet (yes feet!) of precipitation each year. The abundance of plants and trees including Sitka spruce, western hemlock, and Bigleaf maples is a feast for the eyes and the moss-draped branches\u00a0create a jungle-like feeling in this primeval forest.<\/p>\n

The challenge of course is to keep\u00a0your photo gear dry and a portable umbrella and camera rain hood like\u00a0those made by\u00a0Kata are invaluable for\u00a0shooting when it’s wet. Fortunately, the skies are often cloudy which creates nice even lighting, eliminates the harsh shadows and really makes the colors glow. And if the scene includes water, the longer exposures often required in the forest will\u00a0create a silky look that only adds to the dreamlike quality of this special place. The only problem I’ve encountered when shooting rain forests is that when you leave your eyes\u00a0have a hard time\u00a0adjusting to the lack of green in the rest of the world!<\/p>\n
