A family hangs out just beyond the chainlink fence at Palouse Falls.

I think this is one of my better light painting attempts, taken at The Devil's Garden, UT. While I like it, it doesn't feel as real as the non-painted version. Personally I don't like visiting a popular spot where a bunch of people are painting - obviously it intrudes on the experience of others...

One of my favorite spots on the Oregon coast.

A bit precarious getting my tripod in place for this view down Lye Brook, just below the falls, VT.

On our recent trip to UT, on the way to Capitol Reef National Park from Moab, we came across one of the many bizarre rock formations that are all across southern Utah. These were right up against the highway. I almost did not ask to stop, as we had the rest of our party following in another...

Sand Harbor is on the Northeast Nevada side of Lake Tahoe and is a popular spot for photographers at sunset. From my experience, I can see why.

Johnny Behind the Rocks is a little park area I stumbled across a few weeks back in Wyoming. I was up in the Tetons with Ben, Rick and Alan and I knew I wanted to be in Colorado the next day in time to pick up the grandkids from school, so instead of leaving after sunrise the following morning...

The Mountain Loop Highway is my local gateway to the Cascades. I can be up hiking on Mt. Pilchuck in 45 min., or further up like yesterday in a little over an hour of beautiful stress free driving. Fall color is as good as it gets around here. Perry Creek trail didn't disappoint, although I...

One of the reasons I love this hike is the view west to the Puget Sound.

Nine shots (3 rows of 3) with my Sony A7rII resulted in this 2.5 GB pano - morning view east to Glacier Pk. from the top of Mt. Pilchuck. Click through to see larger. Pilchuck-Sunrise-(159)-Pano by Jim Dockery posted Sep 20, 2018 at 9:58 AM

There are places in this world that have a surreal, mystical quality to them. Spirit Island, which technically is not an island but a peninsula on Maligne Lake in Jasper N.P. Alberta, is one of those rare places. Only accessible by boat tour or a 14km canoe paddle, it is a place held sacred by...

I don't do high key much, but this foggy day lent itself to it, especially in B&W.

Another shot at my backyard fountain. I had no idea the birds would like this so much and that I'd have so much fun watching/photographing them. This one is looking down from my deck.

We found this scene along the ring road on the east coast of Iceland, and it seemed like a fun place to work on some compositions. I liked the combination of the plants/moss with the rocks and water. Any thoughts are welcome.

Went out to Joshua Tree last Saturday, had a slim hope to shoot the super moon, but the clouds won that day. Just before the sunset, the sun burst through a bit and added a touch of color. All comments are welcome, Jim

My partner Eric cooperates the best he can to help me get good ski shots. Ski fun, and getting down safely, is always the priority, but when we can get a shot like this where he hit the sun spot perfectly, it makes me very happy when I'm back home. Eric-skis-slot-bw by Jim Dockery posted Feb...

I often ask my wife to pose in a good spot to complement all my pure landscape shots to lend a human element and sense of scale. She likes to do yoga outside, so I usually ask for a simple tree or warrior that is easy to do standing for a while as I take a few shots. These are all in Capital...
