Bandon Bells
A nice patch of calla lilies overlooking the unique seastacks of Bandon Beach. 4-stitch panoramic.
Elowah
One of the more elegant and impressive looking waterfalls in Oregon's Columbia River Gorge—Elowah Falls. The flow was just right to catch some nice water movement in the foreground with a slightly longer exposure.
Dark Seal
The Oregon coastline just after sunset. Seal Rock, where the compositions change by the minute with the rising and falling tide, revealing interesting formations like this one. So many options to choose from. Longer 4 second exposure here and obviously other shots for the birds.
Drawn Together
In my attempt to try and find something unique at this popular location, I decided to go with a twilight shot. I was crouching down and crawling all over this place until I came across this spot, and from about 2 feet off the ground was just able to sneak in that top branch above Hood and with the branches almost reaching for each other, it framed the barn and mountain just right.
Rowena
Sunrise at Rowena Crest in Oregon.
Flow
Another day at Rialto Beach in Olympic National Park. I had some interesting clouds to work with and actually was able to use the marine layer to my advantage (along with the seastack) as it helped block the intensity of the sun and create a nice soft light thoughout the image. I used a 1/3 sec shutter to capture various movements in the water and then made sure I correctly exposed for the sky. My feet were frozen by the end of this one. In post I combined my favorite water pattern with the correct sky. I added a soft graduated filter effect and evened out the tones to enhance the nice soft light look and feel. more info

Field Of Dreams
During peak flower bloom in early August on the Paradise side of Mount Rainier there are endless fields of color. And when the light was just right, I captured this sunset and was lucky enough to have some great clouds as well. more info
