Last month I joined my brother and my 70 year old mother for a fishing trip in Alaska. I went focused on being a photographer, and ended up being focused on being a fisherman. I did manage to get some shots off, mostly with my Phantom 4 Pro. Its so exciting to get a perspective that I can't see in front of me. This was taken at Harlequin Lake.

An early morning just outside Madras, Oregon. A friend of mine has a ton of land here, and each time I go I discover another amazing view!

Shot from the summit of Smith Rock, outside Bend, Oregon. If you ever go here I can't emphasize enough to take the Misery Ridge trail.

I almost didn't shoot at all. I didn't have solar filters, and didn't want to risk missing anything, but I decided to pop off a couple shots during totality while viewing the eclipse from a friend's property in Madras, Oregon. It was one of the most amazing two minutes of my life. An experience I will hold close forever.

Early morning near Timothy Lake on Mt Hood in Oregon. I went for a sunrise, but it rained, and I ended up being happy with that.

The lack of clouds had me expecting a pretty boring sunset, but I was pleasantly surprised when the one decent cloud in the sky seemed to be perfectly placed in front of the sun. A Maui local pointed out that the tops of these mountains are rarely seen at sunset, usually buried in clouds, so I was capturing something unique. It was a lovely evening!

Although I absolutely love my trusty Canon 17-40mm f4L lens, I finally decided to upgrade to a 16-35mm f4L. What better way to test it than a weekend at the coast with the family! This is hands down one of the best sunsets I've seen at the Oregon Coast.

Shot with a Sony A7R, and of course a Canon 16-35mm f4L IS. Also using a Manfrotto Tripod and a fotodiox lens adapter.

This was shot from my campsite at Paulina Lake, Oregon, October 2015. Its the last week the campground is open, so it a great time if you want the place to yourself. Really cold though!!
