If you’re looking for something new well this is it until I get back from my trip at the end of this week. I decided to be a little crafty and schedule this one in advance. I recommend you snoop around my blog as I snoop across the Northwest for new photo opportunities. The following are my most read posts over the last 7 days and might make for some interesting reading: 5 Killer Twitter Tools Why Social Media
I’m in pre-trip cramming mode and a Fall Color photo is what the doctor ordered. While I ramp up to photograph spring landscapes I like to remember how drastically the landscape can transform.

Yellow Larch trees (thank you Cynth Barnes) and an amazing turquoise Grindjesee Lake proved to be this color photographers dream subject. A little secret I can let you in on… I view photos from this location anytime I want to take a break from my hectic schedule and unwind. I lucked out witnessing this view when the lake was inc

About this photo…. This feisty swan came in for a taste of my camera. He eventually got my lens. No harm no fowl. Pun intended LOL. Photographing animals with a fish-eye lens is always an adventure. The focal distance is so short the subject can be with in inches of the lens and still be in focus. I was aiming for more majestic images and got some during better lighting conditions, but this photo just makes me
It’s been a great year for photography, perhaps even better than last year, and as 2008 nears its end I thought it would be fun to select my favorite photos from the year. I had a tough time narrowing things down so here they are… Honorable Mentions: Honorable Mention #5: Pike Place Market One thing I love about taking travel photos is the constant challenge to find a new perspective.
