It started with a notion that Portland, Oregon would be a nice city to visit. With the house search happening, the notion was not receiving much commitment nor planning. But, since the house dealings were all in order and there wasn’t really anything for me to do but wait, Janet… Continue reading
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
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, f/4.5, ISO 100
A second shot of Multnomah Falls looking down from the top. I like this one mostly because it was an excuse to use the WiFi remote shot feature of the a6000 in combination with an Android phone in order to hold it out over the falls on the end of a tripod,… Continue reading
Multnomah Falls in the Columbia River Gorge. 620ft drop, with a pretty little bridge in there. I could have done a better job centering the falls though… Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL 18-200mm lens @ 18mm, 1/6 sec, f/16, ISO 100
