Pathway Through the Woods

This is a pathway through the woods of Chip Ross park in Corvallis, Oregon.  It was a lovely, brisk morning.  The fog was starting to lift and everything was peaceful and quiet.  I took pictures of this path with both my Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8G lens at 14mm and 24mm and I took pictures of it [...]

Oak Trees in the Fog

Another picture of oak trees in the fog from Chip Ross park in Corvallis, Oregon.  I love the fog.  Instead of a black & white and using Lightroom to tweak the photo, I used HDR and Topaz Adjust to reconstruct what I saw with my eye.  After that treatment I masked in some of the [...]

Oak Tree, Black & White

I’ve been down around Albany and Corvallis lately and they have these lovely, foggy mornings.  I went to elementary school in Corvallis and these fall, foggy mornings that are brisk remind me of when I was a wee little lad.  I walked around Chip Ross park in Corvallis and there were a couple of oak [...]

My Five Most Popular Photos

The Log at Multnomah Falls

Back in April, I went to Multnomah Falls, which is in the Columbia River Gorge.  I took some nice pictures of the falls but I haven’t processed them yet.  I also found this interesting looking log.  I’m not sure if I over saturated the colors when I processed it but the lighting and colors along [...]
