A bit of a break after a long hike and a snapshot of why I do what I do. Hiking in the PNW. Having early morning fog helps.

A beautiful day in Lacey Washington at the Woodard Bay Conservatory. A long exposure technique worked well on the water to soften its appearance surrounding the old pier.

I photographed this old retired ferry along the waterfront in Tacoma, WA.
Sometimes getting the perfect sky can be a challenge, especially living in WA., for this reason I created a composition of two images.

An early morning hike led my wife and I to this pooling and small falls within the Whatcom Falls Park in Bellingham, WA.
"Yes", I love the Jurassic Park movies, it shows in my editing style. It makes me feel free when I can choose how and what I can edit.

FINALLY!!!
A nice photo of Snoqualmie Falls. I have tried over and over to capture this waterfall and every time it's either to foggy, not enough light or too much mist.
Today was a complete success! Everything came together, lighting, camera gear, weather and lots of experience.

I thought this made a cool photo, showing all the logs on the shore.

This photo was taken along the Deception waterfalls area looking down stream. A simple but effective photo of how nature pushes its way thru...

Colors that glow over a river are just stunning. The Wenatchee River in WA did just that, and at the right time!

A golden glow covers the water as the day turns into night.
I choose a satin/matte look during my editing process and a long exposure for the water.

The water was like blue mercury and my trusty B+W polarizer did the trick to allow the colors to shine thru. The Sawtooth Mountains are Epic indeed. Blue Alpine water is stunning.

A little stream filled with dead timbers. Close to the Little Redfish Lake is this stream still showing snow and ice in April.
When I saw this scene, it reminded me of a "Bob Ross" painting, so of course I had to capture it.

When the water flow is so high, the water spray follows. This is a close up of one of the sections of Shoshone Falls in Twin Falls, Idaho.

Tip of the day-
You can photograph landscape scenes close up to be captivating, you do not need the whole scene.
Buy the best polarizer you can afford.

Along the banks of the Owyhee river you will see some amazing rock structures. If you catch it just right when the light is at its dynamic time, you will see some beautiful colors.

On a stormy winter's morn, there was a break in the weather for 20 minutes as the mountains opened up and the clouds passed on. Photographed at Farewell Bend in Oregon.

This stunning winter scene was photographed at the Confluence along the Banks to Lowman Rd in Idaho. A scene that speaks for itself, winter's elegance in 15 degrees.

This scene set out to be just a foggy and dreary moody scape, until a little mink decided to pose for the camera on the middle log.
You can see the mink on the log where the leaves and the water meet. Left click on photo...
The water had a nice deep green look and the fog set a nice backdrop for the scene.
