Columbia River Gorge - Oregon

Springtime in the Gorge

Oregon has had an impressive amount of rain this June, receiving 80% of the normal rainfall for the entire month within the first 4 days. This created some excellent late spring waterfall conditions. This image was taken deep in the gorge the day after some really heavy rain. It’s not an easily accessible location when the water …

Photo Filters

I get quite a few e-mails every week about which filters I use and the technique involved, so I figured it would be easier to just write something up and link people to it, instead of typing the same reply over and over. This isn’t meant to be an introduction to filters by any means, …

Cape Kiwanda - Sunrise

Cape Kiwanda

This is the beautiful Cape Kiwanda area in Pacific City Oregon. I left the house at 4:30am in hopes of catching a nice sunrise on the coast. This is always hit or miss (usually miss), but on this particular morning, I wasn’t dissapointed. Those are 20 foot swells crashing into the sandstone cliffs below.

Punchbowl Falls - Snow 2009

Snow in the Gorge!

We recently had a nice cold spell that dumped about 6-8 inches of fresh snow in the Columbia River Gorge. When this happens, it doesn’t stick around for too long, so you really have to get out there quickly.

Pacific Northwest Cold Spell

Pacific Northwest Cold Spell

This makes it really hard to get around in a vehicle, and renders some locations completely out of the questions. This last week we had sub-freezing temps for …

Pacific Northwest Autumn

Pacific Northwest Autumn

Fall is my second favorite season with winter taking an easy first. I love rain and snow, and I’m fortunate enough to live in one of the best places on the planet. The shot above is from Woodland Washington’s “Cedar Creek Grist Mill”.

Backups

Backups

I recently spent a good amount of time clearing about 60GB of images from my hard drive. When I originally mentioned this on a flickr post awhile back I got a lot of comments that went something like “Hard drives are cheap, I just buy another drive when I run out of space”. Well, in …

Cape Kiwanda

Cape Kiwanda

Decided to take a quick trip out to Cape Kiwanda for a sunrise. I have only been out there one other time, and it’s really an awesome spot. On this morning, the tide was pretty low, and there really was zero wave activity. I much prefer to shoot the ocean with waves crashing around and …
