Cape Horn

This is a photo from Cape Horn on the north side of the Columbia River gorge, which affords a great view up the river to the east. There is a rail line that runs along the river below.

Bursting into Bloom

I can’t resist sharing another spring picture that I found. The warming weather is making me excited for this type of subjects again.

Spring Shine

I’ve been looking forward to this time of year again with all of its bright colors and fresh smells. I have some winter pictures to post here but the colors here made me want to finish this one first.

High Tundra

This was taken in Rocky Mountain National Park Colorado. It was a chilly July day with a strong wind and spotty cloud cover. Beautiful weather and scenery to match!

Lake Superior Sunset

Believe it or not that is ice covered water! This is a panorama taken by my brother using a quadcoptor.

Lighthouse

3/31/2017 - Canon T5 - f-7.1 - 1/1600 sec. - ISO 200 - 55mm

This is an image that I took shortly after most of the ice had melted off the harbor and rivers in the area. It was a warm sunny afternoon, and there were a number of people out enjoying the warm spring weather.

Canon T3 - September 24, 2016 - 18 image focus stack

This image is the result of a technique called focus stacking, which involves taking a number of photos with slightly different focus, and merging the in-focus areas from each into a single final photo. I used the alignment engine and masking engine from Hugin, and hand masked a darker exposure of the background into the image.

Nikon D40 - October 19, 2013 - 1/200 sec. - ISO-800 - f-4.5

This is an image I found while digging through my photo archive. I basically just did some white ballance for this one.
