Day 3 was mostly spent at Crater Lake. I like to relax on vacation by demanding that we wake up in time for sunrise and go to take pictures. In light of this, we got up early to head to Watchman overlook with our coffee, but finding clouds there, backtracked… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1614 w=640] Crater Lake from the top of Mt. Scott – which I suspect is the highest viewpoint in the area. The watch tower / ranger outpost is one of several in the area. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL18200 lens @ 18mm, 1/400 sec, f/8, ISO 100
Day 2 was our started by completing the drive to Crater Lake. Like a lot of the National Parks, the area you want to get to ends up being rather remote and it was about a 45 minute drive from the nearest town into the closest visitor center. With that in… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1552 w=480 float=left] 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… Continue reading

Sunrises and sunsets are always kind of a crap-shoot because you have no control over them yet the entire… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1550 h=480 float=left] 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… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1548 w=480 float=left] 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… Continue reading
[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
