Water at First Creek Canyon

Las Vegas, Nevada
January 10, 2015
Nikon D3100: Tamron 18-270 at 18 mm: ISO 400: 1/200 sec.: f/10
This was my first time hiking in Nevada where I came across something more than a left-over pool of water.  Unfortunately, I did not have my CPL so I got this bad reflection, but it was still cool to see crystal clear water in the middle of the desert.

I drive from Vegas to Pahrump a lot for work and I am always intrigued by this mountain.  I finally took the time to get out and photograph it from the First Creek Canyon Trail.

Mt. Wilson and a Cholla Cactus

Las Vegas, Nevada
January 10, 2015
Nikon D3100: Tamron 18-270 at 42 mm: ISO 200: 1/125 sec.: f/16
Mt. Wilson is the most impressive mountain at Red Rock in my opinion and I finally got around to hiking to it via the First Creek Canyon Trail.  I was carrying my 19 month old most of the way so I made it to the base of the mountain before needing to turn back.

This house is in my in-laws neigborhood and I was out for a walk one night on vacation when I noticed the moon hanging over the top of it so I used my phone to see what I could get.

At the base of Willamette Falls there is an old paper mill.  I was drawn to this building with a door into nothing and moss-covered roofs.

Willamette Falls

Oregon City, Oregon
November 27, 2014
Nikon D3100: Tamron 18-270 at 32 mm: ISO 200: 1/10 sec.: f/18
While we were in Oregon, I had planned to go to waterfalls in the Gorge, but I was enjoying relaxing so much, I never got around to going.  I did take the 5 minute drive down to Willamette Falls.  I had shot them from this location a long time ago and wanted to come back.  Unfortunately, it was raining and the light wasn't doing much.
