It has been a while since I have had a chance to get out and take anything worth posting on these pages. But last week I found that the right combination of Milky Way position and timing, moon phase and timing during the evening, weather and work schedule was going to happen to allow me to try...

I missed sunrise, but I still got to Yaquina Head pretty early in the morning. The light on this sea stack off Cobble Beach was outstanding. I used a 6-stop Dark CPL by Breakthrough to get the effect of both polarizer and ND. (BTW, when I was there I swear I saw a name for this rock on a map or...

Last month I had an opportunity to spend a few days on the Oregon coast. Though I had been there before I decided to go some places I hadn't seen previously. The first of those was Thor's Well near Cape Perpetua. The classic view of this are with a colorful sunset in the background. Well, the...

Since I had to be back in Portland that night for a morning flight, I shot sunset on my last night close to the road from La Push harbor area, adjacent to First Beach. I found a good alignment of sunset with Gunsight Rock, although I guess you could say my aim was a little off (intentionally)...

I have another pciture from the session with flowing water and icicles at Babcock State Park that I posted earlier. This is just downstream from the previous one. Glade Creek Icicles 2 by Dave Johnston posted Jan 21, 2018 at 12:30 PM Comments and suggestions are always welcome! Dave

With thanks to Ben for bringing this contest to my attention. Happy coincidence that I shot this during the right week! Glade Creek Icicles 1 by Dave Johnston posted Jan 18, 2018 at 11:15 PM Dave

I'm interested in comments on this one. At Babcock State Park in West Virginia the star of the show is the Glade Creek Grist Mill and the iconic shots of it, especially in the fall. At during a recent winter visit I was more struck by the juxtaposition of the flowing water patterns and the...

I figure this is the correct forum for this, though it could also go to Landscape. At any rate here are two images from New Years Eve at Summersville Lake in West Virginia (drained for the winter) under a nearly full moon, in temperature around 3 °F. There are a variety of structures placed...
