Clear Day in Seattle

The clear weather in Seattle motivated me to get a few sunset and night images from the most famous Northwest photography location - Kerry Park. I worked my way through the 20-30 other photographers for a space to drop my tripod. Usually, the clouds are better for sunsets and Mount Rainier can be seen, but I am happy with the results for my first "postcard" session of 2008.

Southern Louisiana (Cajun Country)

My latest photo trip was into the surreal looking swamps of southern Louisiana. The submerged cypress trees covered in Spanish moss had a very eerie look to them and the still water created some amazing mirror style reflections. It was the off season for wildlife in the swamp but I did get to see baby alligators, turtles, owls, and many varieties of cranes. Much different than the landscapes and critters of the Northwest.

Colorado

I recently had the opportunity to spend a week in Colorado capturing images of the Rocky Mountains. You can see many of the images on my flickr page HERE.

One of my favorite locations from my trip was this old abandoned house outside of Winter Park.

Lunar Eclipse

Last night, Seattle had a great view of the lunar eclipse. I did have to wake up at 3:00am...... but I think it was worth it.

Night Photography

I am often out late at night capturing night images of the Seattle. I enjoy the downtown building lights at night and Seattle has many great elevated viewpoints. Most of my night images are long exposures on a tripod. My current camera is a Nikon D80.
