I sure hope someone can advise me. I'm going to the Mt. Adams area tomorrow and want to capture the mountain in evening & sunset light. I haven't decided yet where I'm staying. My sole purpose of this trip is to photograph Mt. Adams. Thanks!
If you want the mountain lit by the sunset light you better be on the western side of the mountain. If you want pictures of the sunset including the mountain you'll have to be on the other side ... : )
Sorry, I'm not familiar enough with that part of Washington to be of any specific help, but after you post some pictures I'll know more.

Here is one of Mt Rainier, taken two days ago at about noon.
I had to hand-hold the Cokin filter because I used the 10-22 lens (too wide for the holder), but it still worked and made a huge difference to the photo.

P.S. Love your Mt Baker shot
Beetle, that's a gorgeous photo of Rainier! You did such a good job with the filter that it's not noticeable. I might have to handhold mine too, if I can find it. Otheriwse I'll bracket and blend.
I have some photos of Mt. Rainier taken from a steam train which makes a summer tourist run up near it, though most of my shots of it are over the water of southern Puget Sound.

I have changed my plans to go next weekend. I didn't want to be anywhere where the temperature was going to be 107 deg. I would like to know more about that train! That sounds like such a beautiful drive.
I didn't see your Mt. Rainier photo in your portfolio :( Anyway, I have decided to make my way to Takhlakh lake next weekend and get the photo I want.
Beetle, Where were you when you got the Rainier photo?
This image was taken very near the Sunrise Visitor Center at Mount Rainier. I know this because Beetle was gracious enough to ferry this old horse up that mountain so he too could try his hand at taking a nice image of Mount Rainier... with the ensuing result that he purloined one of Beetle's images. :O)

And I plan hiking up Mt. Rainer and Mt. St Helens. And i was wondering what advice, and tips people have for mountain/ landscape photography.
In day light, is a tripod still necessary? Could i get away with handheld?
Things like that.
Edit: I'm an idiot and see almost an identical thread about a question almost exactly the same, though you can still reply if you have any broad advice or anything
You can't really "hike up" Mt. Rainier -- I believe several people have died climbing it each of the past few years. They have just opened Mt. St. Helens to groups hiking to the crater rim -- guided and limited to (I think) 100 people/day -- better check with the National Park Service for reservations.

There are some nice shorter hikes around Mt. Rainier, though not to the top.
The sunrise might be my best-ever picture ... it was taken at a different place -- over the water of south Puget Sound.
And thanks to whoever just bought a 16x20 print! If you see this, please let me know if it looks OK ...
You know what's so funny? I got the referral on your sale :)
I haven't sold a print for a year but I got a referral for yours. Pretty cool how that works :)
