Willamette Valley Sunset

November 30th, 2008


As I was leaving the wildlife refuge yesterday, I noticed that I could see some of the taller Cascade peaks in the distance. I used a long lens and waited until I could include one of the geese in the composition. Photographed on November 29, 2008.

Japanese Maple

I used a selective focus lens to soften the background and create a more intimate feeling. Photographed on November 17, 2008.

Pair of Swans

November 20th, 2008


I like the feel of this image. I wanted to capture an image that included the pair of swans and the reflection of the setting sun. Photographed on November 15, 2008.

Ducks at Sunset

November 19th, 2008


I decided to take advantage of the sunset and try silhouetting these ducks against the sky. Photographed on November 15, 2008.

Three Swans

November 17th, 2008


There were a number of swans at the local wildlife refuge. In this particular image, I like the way that their wings are in three slightly different positions. I think it would have worked even better if they were flying from left to right. Photographed on November 15, 2008.

Ripples

November 16th, 2008


I think this is a pied-billed grebe, which I often see at this location. I liked the pattern of the ripples and the way the purple hues mixed with the faint orange reflection from the setting sun. Photographed on November 15, 2008.

Sunlit Leaves

I liked the way the sun was shining through the leaves of this tree. Photographed on November 15, 2008.

Stormy Weather

November 12th, 2008


This photo was taken on a rainy afternoon, looking across the bay at Lincoln City. There’s a ton of driftwood at this beach, and I particularly liked this old stump. I used a slow shutter speed to capture the spray of the surf. If you look closely, you can see a flock of seabirds above the far shore. Photographed on November 9, 2008.

Seastack Sunset

November 11th, 2008


The sun peaks through stormy weather at Yaquina Head on the Oregon coast. Photographed on November 8, 2008.
