The east side of Lake Tahoe looking south towards Bonsai Rock. The water was pretty rough so I used a 1/4 second exposure to capture the flow over a nearby rock. The emerald colors in this lake are amazing.

The Painted Hills in Eastern Oregon, USA. The weather was perfect for viewing the painted hills. This photo was taken in the evening as we arrived late. Had to camp next to the road in the middle of nowhere.

Adobe Photoshop Elements was used to slightly increase clarity and vibrance but this is what it really looks like here.

Simple wave and sunset shot near my home. Just a little vibrance, sharpening, and noise reduction. Tried not to over do it.

Sandstone formations and concretions at Shore Acres Park on the Oregon Coast, USA. Winter waves crash 100 feet into the air and land on this sandstone, speeding up the weathering action.

One of my favorites from a great sunset evening at Cape Arago on the Oregon Coast, USA. This area has amazing geological formations, incredible sunsets, and dangerous seas. It is close to home so I go there often. A 3.2-second exposure for the water and a 0.6-second exposure for the sky with a 0.9 ND Hard grad filter.

Small waterfall on the South Fork Coquille River near the Oregon Coast, USA.

Flows were very low when the shot was taken but the calmness allowed this slow exposure with the foreground ferns still sharp.
