A steep scrappy spur trail leads off of the Snow Lake route to this view. Not much room to move around, especially in this social distancing time, but there was only one other hiker when I arrived and she was packing up to go so I had it to myself for a while last summer. Another shot that got...

Another shot found in my iPhone from last year. Deception Pass State Park, WA

Loch Lomond is a beautiful loch, and I love to stop there on my way from Glasgow to Glencoe & the Isle of Skye, when I have a chance. Here two sunsets on the Loch, taken two years apart. First, a 2020 image, 3/5 of a second taken with my Hasselblad X1D II, Hasselblad XCD 21mm and Formatt-Hitech...

One of the most popular hikes off of Hwy. 20 in the North Cascades, esp. in the fall when the larches turn color. An easy 2+ miles and 900 ft. elevation gain. I missed the peak color, but enjoyed the contrast with the snow, which also kept the crowds manageable. I heard that there were cars...

My wife is a cooperative model and paddled slowly through this reflection on Lake Crescent in Olympic NP.

Iridescently Tensile is from my Naturally Abstract collection and was composed at Hopeland Gardens in Aiken, SC. The oil was on the water behind a wooden barrier so it wasn’t getting hit directly by the waves. Still, the surface of the water was swelling and contracting enough to cause...

This was a frame from a time-lapse sequence I shot with my RX100.

I was hoping to get more sunset shots of White Chuck mountain from Raven Lake, but rising mist obscured the peak just after I got this one.

I've already posted a version of this scene in the landscape forum, but hadn't processed this one. Like Jim said in the first one it would have been nice to include the whole mountain in the reflection, this one does. Two images stacked, sky 25 sec., earth 79 sec., ISO 3200, Sony A7rII + Batis...

I know some of you don't care for figures in a landscape so here is a pure sunrise over Lake Casidy I shot before my wife and I got on our paddle boards, that's Mt. Pilchuck to the right of the sun hiding in the clouds. Sony RX100 IV, 4 verticals stitched in ACR

My wife and I got up early on my birthday to be on little Lake Casidy at sunrise. I was worried we'd missed the best of it, but It all worked out great. Lots of birds, and even a beaver was spotted. I very carefully brought my little Sony RX 100 IV in the chest pocket of my wind shirt. I thought...

Hi All! I had the pleasure meeting Jim on a weekend visit down to Ouray. Our paths crossed at one of my favorite hot springs. I am an amateur photographer who bought a macro lens just before coronavirus hit. It makes simple objects around my house look amazing. On a warm Colorado day I am...

Late afternoon yesterday I was driving back up Hwy 34 towards Estes Park and ultimately Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) to go trail run up to Gem Lake, a short 2 mile trail one way that is rated as Strenuous so I thought it would make for a great tune up hike. I hadn't been to Gem Lake...

This little falls and wonderful bathing hole is found in the center of the nature trail loop at Deception Falls on Hwy 2 near Stevens Pass WA. It is a beautiful shady place with great views of the Skykomish river, easy enough for kids and agile grannies (both were with me yesterday). The first...
