I didn't do a lot of traveling this year but I still ended up shooting quite a bit both in the air and on the ground. I took a lot of shots I like but decided these would be the ones to show.
1. From the air - a January sunrise panorama with Mt. Hood in the distance. Mavic 3 Pro at 70mm.
2. At a local wetland greenbelt park with an egret less than an inch from its feet hitting the water. I love what the current generation of mirrorless cameras can do. Canon R5 MkII.
3. A particularly spectacular sunrise panorama in early May with the sun angle far enough north to come up behind Mt. Adams. Mavic 3 Pro at 70mm.
4. A scene looking east at the Reflection Lakes in Mt. Rainier National Park in late September. Lots of neat shots from that trip but this was one of my favorites. Canon R5 MkII.
5. Fall colors were quite amazing this year and the trees in the Columbia River Gorge did not disappoint. This is a drone shot from out over the river looking back at Wahkeena Falls with the Benson Recreation Area in the foreground. Mavic 3 Pro at 24mm.
6. In late October I had a trip to the coast on my agenda with a goal of shooting a set of waterfalls near the headwaters of the North Fork of the Smith River - Kentucky Falls. It's a spot fairly deep in the Coast Range I had been wanting to include in previous trips to that part of the Oregon coast but have always gotten sidetracked. This trip I made it my primary goal and am glad I did as that area has some rare and stunning areas of old growth forest.
This is a view from one of the many bridges that cross over the North Fork along the way. Canon R5 MkII.
7. This is a view of Kentucky Creek from the trail leading to the Upper Falls. Canon R5 MkII.
8. A view from some switchbacks dropping down to the base of the falls. Canon R5 MkII.
9. Upper Kentucky Falls from a spot at the base of the falls. Canon R5 MkII.
10. In early December I bought a Mavic 4 Pro as an upgrade to my camera drone kit and so far am delighted with the new cameras. This is a sunset panorama scene from over my house in NW Vancouver. Mavic 4 Pro at 166mm.
11. A shot of Palisades Falls in the Columbia River Gorge just below Crown Point. Mavic 4 Pro at 70mm lens.
