" Purple Sunset "
Your Looking at the Mouth of the Columbia River and the famous Astoria Bridge that connects oregon and Washington. Finally after staying in Astoria every week this summer a stunning sunset developed in front of me.
" White River Falls "
This is a magnificent place to catch 4 waterfalls in a slighty remote area of Tygh Valley approximatly 30miles south of the Dalles Oregon. It’s worth going in the spring as well as the fall for obvious reasons morning light is ideal as the evening sun presents exposure problems.
"Sweet Light On The Deschutes"
This was spectacular in person especially that we had the park to ourselves. I remember having to set up the tripod quickly as we were losing light by the minute. This shot was taken at La Pine State Park Oregon, only minutes from Sunriver Resort. More on the park here . (Pentax K10d 16-45 f4)
