Multnomah Falls Emerging From The Veil
Multnomah Falls is more than iconic and easily recognized by most anyone who sees it. Even if they don’t know the name, there’s a good chance that they’ve at least seen the waterfalls in a painting or a photo before.
Fantasy Forest
Here’s my first photo of 2020… and the first photo after my stroke, taken not far from where I live.
Christmas Valley Oregon
I love the diversity of landscape in Oregon. We have most everything that a landscape photographer could want to photograph. Oregon has a pretty awesome ocean coastline abutted against forested mountains and hills, valleys, glacial peaked mountains, sage and juniper high desert plains, low elevation desert mud playas and a canyon that’s deeper than the Grand Canyon – Hells Canyon on the Idaho border. We also have windswept sand dunes, not just along the coastline, but right in the center of the state in Central Oregon.
Cannon Beach Oregon Sunset
Some days I feel that I’m blessed with an inordinate amount of amazing light when I go out to make photos. I can’t explain it. I’m not boasting but am simply acknowledging how blessed that I feel.
The Milky Way Over Mount Hood
The Milky way over Mount Hood Oregon.
There once was a time when I would stay up for several nights in a row and had no stories worth telling. These days I stay up for one night and have a wonderful story that I could tell.
Your The Camera’s Aperture Affects your Focus
We’re focusing on focusing this month. How do I focus my photos is one of the most asked questions of me by other photographers. It’s a great question, and one that one would think would be pretty basic and simple.
Lost In The Mossy Forest
Lost in The Mossy Forest. Here’s a photo that I made yesterday while guiding my friends Al and Kathy Baca, from Long Island New York, around the Mount Hood National Forest. We spent a day in the beautiful Columbia River Gorge and a day in the Mount Hood National Forest with a day of post processing between. It was a great time.
Columbia River Gorge Spring Wildflowers and Shallow Depth of Field Landscape Photography
Columbia River Gorge Spring Wildflowers – In this day and age of hyper sharp, focus stacked photos, how do you feel about shallow depth of field landscape photographs?
Smith Rock Sunset
