Hydrangea

[singlepic id=1560 w=480 float=left] 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… Continue reading

Sunrise

[singlepic id=1551 w=480 float=left] 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… Continue reading

Picture taken with… Continue reading

Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL 18-200mm lens @ 43mm, 0.8… Continue reading

Crater Lake

[singlepic id=1545 w=480 float=left] Crater Lake featuring Wizard Island.  My main PC is down right now, so this one has no adjustments beyond that made by the camera – the water really is that blue (it’s incredibly deep and cold). Picture taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 10-22mm lens @ 22mm, 1/1600 sec,… Continue reading
