Was that today? It’s nice to be able to see the mountains again.

Oh wow! That's an amazing photo. The foreground and background together are incredible. You should post this on r/paths. They'd love it.

Which trail did you take to get this view? When we went we took one of the smaller trails as we were tight on time so sadly we didn’t get a good view of the peak itself.

I don't think so. It was pretty cloudy/stormy most of today in western WA.

"It didn't take long for Reach to fall. Our enemy was ruthless. Efficient. But they weren't nearly fast enough. For you had already passed the torch. And because of you, we found Halo, unlocked its secrets, shattered our enemy's resolve. Our victory - your victory - was so close... I wish you could have lived to see it. But you belong to Reach. Your body, your armor - all burned and turned to glass. Everything...except your courage. That, you gave to us. And with it, we can rebuild."

OP simply zoomed on the mountain.
Or its part of a larger pictures that was cut.

I was more talking about the picture's framing. It is almost spot on for that cutscene.
Paulsar t1_itfntcf wrote
You are very right. Luckily there are enough pictures from substantially the same perspective to easily confirm the image is manipulated.

Well this is r/earthporn. People just love to look at tall big hard things sometimes with white stuff on the top I guess

Trying to find it on maps. I’ve been working in Portland all summer and I’m quitting in a couple weeks to road-trip my way back home.
Would love to see this in person!
Tit4nNL t1_itfqz0a wrote
It was also edited to make it look even bigger.
But yes having a zoomed in or using a narrower field of view lens does the trick wonderfully.
porcupineapplepieces t1_itfx00x wrote
Interesting. I can see the difference you pointed out but I’m finding it hard so find how it was manipulated. Maybe it was just focal length? (Or whatever it is that makes distant objects appear bigger)

I was up on grand park two weeks ago and the grass was totally brown; rains just started to it would be greening up yet. I would guess this was August or early September.
dhoepp t1_itgbdqu wrote
I don’t think it’s manipulated. I think it’s just perspective or lens distortion.
KafkaSyd t1_itgbku1 wrote
Well that's about as vague as you can get.

Simply stretching the photo's upper third in the vertical direction in Photoshop or similar?
> Maybe it was just focal length? (Or whatever it is that makes distant objects appear bigger)
No, because then all dimensions would be equally scaled, i.e. the mountain wouldn't be just taller, but also wider, which it clearly isn't when compared to that other photo.
Edit: here's a quick "unstretched" version I made. Compare that to OP's photo and /u/Paulsar's image.

I was in a pagan passion play in 2007, which was run by a local group of Greek mythology enthusiasts. During rehearsal, one of the women in cast did a remarkable job acting as a hot tempered goddess. I asked her how she learned how to do it. She frustratingly responded "A masters in acting."
The suggestion to return to design basics is short, vague, and not completely unhelpful. There are bunches of different ways to get back to the basics, paying attention to composition and equipment first would quickly solve the problem of how to take a good picture of a mountain like Mt. Tahoma.
If you don't like understanding principal design elements, just keep trying to take the picture in different ways until you're happy with the result. I don't know what to tell you otherwise, there is basically no info given to start giving better advice from.
BenCL648 t1_itghinq wrote
You use a Telephoto lense. When you zoom in it makes the background look much bigger than it actually is.

As someone who is fairly decrepit, is this trail flat?
cgibsong002 t1_itgjk9k wrote
As mentioned, the question is basically "how do I do photography". Learn the basics, watch YouTube videos of landscape photography introductions and generally intro to photography. Knowing how to use an ilc and what different lenses do is kind of the first thing you should learn.

LocalNigerianPrince t1_itglfmu wrote
Impresssive how mt Rainer grew by about 2000 feet since last time I was there.
Seriously OP, it’s the most popular mountain in the cascade range, did you think nobody would notice?
Gullible_Ad_5550 t1_itgo1nt wrote
Nice!
Paulsar t1_itgpaar wrote
I do a lot of photography. There is nothing you can do with your camera or lenses that would cause this. You realize the perspective and focal lengths are going to be almost identical in my example right?
Paulsar t1_itgpv5n wrote
Completely agree. As a another simple check as well, if you Google "Mt Rainier Grand Park" you can see thousands of images with very similar looking size/aspect ratio and then compare to the OP and easily conclude it is stretched. If you have a hard time comparing visually, look directly at the angles of the side of the mountain profile.

Nah. It was manipulated. This is how it looks even slightly more zoomed in.
satellite779 t1_itgwsja wrote
Another post from OP that is a suspect of being stretched (of Mt Adams this time). Not as extreme as this one though.

Tldr: not very steep but there's a moderate amount of elevation gain (1100ft) and 8 miles roundtrip is not that short.

Who said you had to do that? I'm just saying for this example when it was called out from sometime familiar with the mountain.
