Half Crystal

A different perspective on Crystal Falls, McDowell Creek. There is so much to photograph there. Need to go back now that the rains have come and the leaves are turning.

Thomas Creek, Scio

I tried for days to get the eun just right, sitting between the trees over the creek. Soon after this image was taken the clouds moved in and this is as close as I got. I much prefer the just down sun to the nearly down sun. I'll try again next year.

Looks Yellow to Me!

We have puppies! It has taken me a few days to get a shot of one up here, but then it is taking *days* to get much of anything done on here. The mommy, Chloe, is a first time mommy and doing wonderfully! She is one of, if not the, best first time mommy we have ever had. There are a total of 8 babies, 6 chocolate & 2 yellow. The best part? They will be ready to sell as Christmas puppies! :-)

Low Angle, Crystal Falls

I took quite a few shots of this fall but only had my normal tripod which was too tall for the perspective I wanted with a many second exposure. Forward and to the right a nice big flat rock that I gently perched my camera upon for the image I really wanted. I think the low angle really makes the image. No, not much water but a worth the trip.

Mc Dowell Creek Revisited

Went to my favorite creek again. Leaves have just begun to fall from the trees, so only a little pretty color around. Not much water yet either. Time for some rain to keep things green around here.

Miniature City

No, not a miniature but just a little playing with an old Portland, Oregon skyline shot I have.

Mouse over for the before shot (tutorial at right).

Sunrise in the Fog

Very foggy morning today. I drove out of the way to go past this lake on my way in to school. It did not disappoint. It is not the prettiest of lakes but if you catch it in the right light or setting, it can be nice.

Gilkey Covered Bridge

On my way home the other day I saw these clouds and knew that the Gilkey Bridge would provide a suitable foreground. The color version of this is nice but the monochrome version (red filter added, that's all) really has impact.
