Hoh rainforest, wet understory

Drove out from Forks before first light. The Hoh in October is almost all mine — the summer crowds are gone and the winter storms haven’t started yet. I wanted bird sound and I wanted to try a couple of macro shots of moss and lichens under rain. Got two solid hours of wren and warbler work in before a heavy squall forced me back to the truck. Pacific Wrens called nonstop through the rain.

Shooting in real rainforest rain is a commitment. Two rain covers and I still had water in the viewfinder eyepiece by 9 a.m.
