This was stumbled upon by pure luck – I knew it was a full moon, but had forgotten. We just happened to be driving down the right road at the right moment to see it coming over the tress. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL 18-200mm lens @ 42mm, multiple… Continue reading
Banana Slugs are huge (in slug terms) and apparently plentiful around Olympic National Park. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL 18-200mm lens @ 159mm, 1/20 sec, f/8, ISO 3200
These incredibly blue hydrangeas were blooming along the road and at the ranger station in Olympic National Forrest. I waited too long to try to get a picture of one though and the sun was pretty high and bright by that time. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL 18-200mm lens… Continue reading
This was the first mountain goat we saw in Olympic National Forest. He was pretending to hide from us while tromping around licking rocks. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL 18-200mm lens @ 200mm, 1/800 sec, f/6.3, ISO 400
My attempt to salvage a very hazy photo of Mt. Rainier shot from the top of Colonel Bob in Olympic National Forest – just outside the National Park. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL 18-200mm lens @ 200mm, 1/640 sec, f/8, ISO 100
On the shore of one of the most beautiful lakes in the country and possibly the world and this little guy skittered out so we had to stop our descent down to Crater Lake so I could take pictures of a lizard. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL 18-200mm lens… Continue reading
Crater Lake Sunrise with HDR. Yes, we got up early for this shot which, unless you know the camera is pointed East, is indistinguishable from a Sunset. Sunrises and sunsets are always kind of a crap-shoot because you have no control over them yet the entire activity is just showing… Continue reading
The “Phantom Ship” in Crater Lake… an unnatural combination of three separate photos with some generous tone mapping thrown in for good measure. Taken as sunset was approaching from the other side of Crater Lake (Wizard Island is just behind the right tree). Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL 18-200mm… Continue reading
The second of the waterfalls we hiked to around Crater Lake – Plaikni Falls. The first was Vidae Falls, which was more just a stop along the road and, while taller, was not as impressive. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL 18-200mm lens @ 43mm, 0.8 sec, f/18, ISO 100
Sunset Sunday! Sunset over Crater Lake last week, not the greatest as sunsets go, but there were a few moments where the clouds looked cool, and the setting was pretty awesome. I think this one would look better with a bit of adjustment, but I don’t have that accessible at… Continue reading
