ISO 250, 24mm, f/4.0, 1/1600sec Taunya and I had the wonderful opportunity to visit Aspen Colorado and to drive up to Maroon Bells.

ISO 200, 32mm, f 5.0, 1/50sec Last Saturday I went up to the LDS Medford Temple, but on the way I stopped in Ashland at Lithia Park to take some photographs of the fall foliage. The colors were simply amazing in the fall light! ISO 400, 24mm, f 5.6, 1/250sec ISO 500, 55mm, f/6.3, …
Here are the rest of the photographs from my photography trip over to the Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge on Labor Day. I love these Blue Herons. They are difficult to photograph because of their shy nature. It’s impossible to get close to them with out them flying off. Nice photograph of the north face of …
Because I took so many photographs on this hike I separated them into two posts. The previous post of the wildflowers and this post which includes the landscapes and the family hiking. For all of these photographs I was using the 24-120mm f/4 lens with a circular polarizing filter. I have found with my landscape photography I use the …
In July when we went to Utah to visit my family we stayed with my sister Jolene and her family. One of the days we were there we went on a hike with Jolene and her family up the trail to South Willow Lake. The wildflowers were amazing on the hike and so of course …
ISO 100, 24mm, f/4.0, 1/400 sec Heart Lake is located above Castle Lake, which is in the mountains above the city of Mt Shasta and Lake Siskiyou. To get to this lake you first drive up to Castle Lake. You then take a trail that goes along the left or southern side of the lake and up. The trail isn’t long …
Last Saturday, the 22nd I took a trip down to the Faery Falls and the ruins of Ney Springs resort. This waterfall and ruins are on the way to Castle Lake which I also had on the to do list for the day. If there was time, and there was, to hike up to Heart …

24mm ISO 100 f/6.3 at 1/320th of a sec Saturday morning I received a call from my good friend Don inviting us to hike with his family up the Shackleford trail to Campbell lake in the Marble mountains. I tried to convince Taunya to come with us, but she was too excited about the prospects of …
1/125 sec at f/4.0; iso 640; 24mm So I sold my D7000 and three of my lenses the 18-200 VR, the 35mm 1.8G and the 50mm 1.8 D to my friend David for a really good deal so he could get into photography. To replace the gear I sold I purchased a D800 and a 50mm 1.8G. I …
This evening we had an enjoyable time with many others out at the Cowley Ranch in Little Shasta. Of course I brought my camera along, Taunya was making fun of me as I walked out of the house for bringing it. When we arrived there I noticed a great picture from their front yard of …
On our way to Mann Lake we took a detour through the Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge. This added a few hours on to the drive, but for me it was well worth it to get some great photographs and to see this part of Oregon. Even though Matt was driving he had a keen …
