October 5th, 2019 I sent out looking for some wildlife to photograph. I was hoping to use my newly acquired Nikon 500mm f/4 D lens. Unfortunately the wildlife I found were some ducks and a couple of Trumpeter Swans in a pond at the Memorial Park. They were close enough that I was able to …
A week and a half ago from the 23-25th of August we went down to Forence OR, to our usual haunt Driftwood Shores resort, for a family reunion. We had a great time on the beach, I took photographs of the Heceta Head Lighthouse Saturday morning at sunrise as tradition dictated. Then Taunya and I …
After we had the group shots out of the way it was time for the individual and couple portraits. The Ward’s are great, it’s nearly impossible to take a bad photo! Not that I tried mind you 🙂 It is also much easier to get great portraits when everyone is having a good time. I …
Had a blast this evening photographing my friends the Wards! We spent a few hours over at the Eschbach Nature area. I only had time tonight to edit a few of the photographs, but was anxious to share 🙂 Stay tuned for the remainder of the portraits.
Took the morning to drive up to the look out on I-90 overlooking the Ellensburg valley. Was hoping to get some great sunrise shot of the valley and the mountains in the distance. Unfortunately there is a storm coming in and it was cloudy and overcast. So I didn’t even get my camera out. So …
Had the great privilege to take the family portraits for my friends The Jonhson’s. ISO 200, 50mm, f/7.1, 1/200sec The Grandkids with their Uncle. Was going pull out some of my favorites, but I think I will just share the gallery and let you pick your own 🙂 4/11/2019 Added a group photo that I …
I separated out all of the photographs of the teacher’s quorum youth playing on the beach so that they could look at their photographs without having to read all of my mumbo jumbo photography musings. 🙂 ISO 100, 195mm, f/5.6, 1/400 sec I love this silhouetted shot against the bright ocean. I can’t believe the …
Last summer as part of our teachers quorum high adventure we stopped at Ruby Beach on our way from Port Angeles, WA to Westport, WA. This is a popular, beautiful, wide, sandy beach where a lot of people stop to enjoy the sand and the ocean. ISO 100, 14mm, f/5.0, 1/800 sec This is the …
Back in 2012 I went to a photography workshop in the San Juan mountains of southwest Colorado. On the way home I took a detour to see a friend of mine David Webster and to photograph Zion’s National Park. Recently when I added these files from a back up to my current Lightroom database they …
Back in September of 2012 I had the distinct pleasure of going on a photography workshop in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado, with Nasim Mansurov of Photographylife.com fame. I had a different computer back then and so these photographs were on back up DVDs. I recently downloaded them on to my current hard drive …
On New Year’s Day morning I was out with our chocolate lab, Lucy, and saw this Red Tail hawk up in the trees where we live. So I ran and got my camera and my 300mm lens which has the 1.4x teleconverter on it, to take some photos. The sun was behind a cloud bank …
A couple of months ago on Labor Day, my friend Jagan, my son Christian, and I went over to Palouse Falls and the surrounding area to take some photographs. This was one of my favorite shots of the falls that evening. Close up of just the falls at dusk. This is the river canyon headed …
