Coeur d'Alene River

Kingston, Idaho

July 16, 2013

This photograph is a couple years old, but didn't make the cut the first time around.  It comes from our family reunion just north of Kingston, Idaho.  This was me actually setting up and taking test shots for the sunset I was waiting on.  The sunset photographs can be found here, here, here and here.

Downtown Provo

Provo, Utah

September 12, 2015

Nikon D3100: Tamron 18-270 at 18 mm: ISO 100: f/9:1/160 sec.

I have wanted to get out and try some street photography.  Living in Vegas, it should be easy, but I just can't seem to find the time.  So instead, I took to the streets of Provo while we were there.

Super Moon

Las Vegas, Nevada

September 27, 2015

Fuji X-T1: XF18-135 at 122.6 mm: ISO 400: f/5.6:1/1000 sec.

Unfortunately, I missed the blood moon, but I decided to go out in front of my house and at least capture an image of the super moon.

Tillamook Rock Lighthouse Sunset

Ecola State Park, Oregon

July 1, 2015

Nikon D3100: Tamron 18-270 at 270 mm: ISO 100: f/16: 1/25 sec.

This is yet another lighthouse shot from Ecola Point.  The sun was high enough in this shot to turn everything orange.  I did basically nothing in post other than blackening the shadows a little.

Nikon D3100: Tamron 18-270 at 27 mm: ISO 100: f/18: 1.6 sec.

Another shot of the amazing view from Ecola Point.

Provo River under Bridal Veil Falls Pano

Provo, Utah

September 10, 2015

Nikon D3100: Tamron 18-270 at 38 mm: ISO 100: f/8: .4 sec.

This is a 6 image vertical panorama of the provo river beneath bridal veil falls.  It is basically the same shot as here, but in this one I took the multiple shots to try and preserve more detail and get better resolution.

Provo River

Provo, Utah

September 10, 2015

Nikon D3100: Tamron 18-270 at 23 mm: ISO 100: f/8: 1/5 sec.

This is a shot of the Provo River maybe a mile or two North of Bridal Veil Falls.  It is actually 2 images that were focus stacked in Photoshop to try and get the maximum depth of field.

Bridal Veil Falls

Provo, Utah

September 10, 2015

Nikon D3100: Tamron 18-270 at 32 mm: ISO 100: f/13: 2.6 sec.

This shot was taken just before sunrise.  It's a different view of Bridal Veil Falls.

Provo River below Bridal Veil Falls

Provo, Utah

September 10, 2015

Nikon D3100: Tamron 18-270 at 32 mm: ISO 11: f/16: 1.0 sec.

After the sunrise, I had a little extra time so I drove through the canyon looking for a more unique view.  I liked this shot because it combined the rive and the falls with the fall color, plus you can still see the warm glow of the sun on the mountain side.

Provo, Utah

September 10, 2015

Nikon D3100: Tamron 18-270 at 42 mm: ISO 100: f/13: .4 sec.

While we were in Utah, I got up early to get into Provo Canyon before sunrise.  My bad luck stuck yet again as the sunrise was completely uneventful, but the fall colors were just starting to turn so I was able to still get a few images I am happy with.

I am behind on my editing so here is an old post I never published from our day at Bryce Canyon.

Sunset in a Stormy Kingston Idaho

Kingston, Idaho

July 16, 2013

Nikon D3100: Tamron 18-270 at 25 mm: ISO 100: f/20: 30 sec.: ND and grad ND filters

Here's a really old photo from our summer trip to Idaho a couple years ago.  It was my first time really experimenting with long exposure and filters.

Red Sunset from Ecola Point

Ecola State Park, Oregon

July 1, 2015

Nikon D3100: Tamron 18-270 at 270 mm: ISO 100: f/18: 1/4 sec.

As the sun got lower on the horizon, the sky shifted from a bright yellow to a rich red.

Ecola Point

Ecola State Park

July 1, 2015

Nikon D3100: Tamron 18-270 at 30 mm: f/16: 1/5 sec.

Another shot of Tillamook Rock.  Not my favorite at all, but I like that it shows how far off the coast the lighthouse is.

Terrible Tilly in Yellow

Ecola State Park, Oregon

July 1, 2015

Nikon D3100: Tamron 18-270 at 270 mm: ISO 100: f/18: 1/8 sec.

Another shot of Tillamook Rock Lighthouse from Ecola Point. This one from right when the sun started to set and cast a bright yellow glow everywhere.

Ecola Point Sunset

Ecola State Park, Oregon

July 1, 2015

Nikon D3100: Tamron 18-270 at 38 mm: ISO 100: f/16: 2.0 sec.

Most of the work I did of this view was playing with panoramas, but this was just a single image.  I pulled a lot of the shadows out of the foreground.  It was pretty late after sunset, but with the longer exposure I still got the left over red glow.

Nikon D3100: Tamron 18-270 at 110 mm: ISO 100: f/18: 1/3 sec.

Another shot of the view from Ecola Point of the lighthouse as the last bit of the sun faded past the horizon casting a beautiful red glow over the entire sky.

Tracks to the Strip #2

Las Vegas, Nevada

April 26, 2015

Nikon D3100: Tamron 18-270 at 130 mm: ISO 100: 10 sec.: f/16

Back in April, I discovered this view from the tracks down the street from my house.  For some reason, I had extreme trouble getting the strip in focus that night and was only able to salvage two average shots.  I posted the other one here.
