Dusk on the Pacific
Long Beach was our last stop on the way out of town. We got there after the sun had fallen below the horizon but nonetheless, what a sight to behold!
I made this long exposure with my “tripod” for the trip, a Gorillapod SLR-Zoom outfitted with a small Flashpoint ballhead (we had travelled by float plane and luggage restrictions meant leaving the normal ‘pod at home). Thank goodness for driftwood. The only stump on the beach provided enough elevation for an adequate POV.

20 Seconds
As nature and landscape photographers, we are out there, chasing the light. Frequently, she is fleeting – treating us to amazing sights before quickly moving on.
I made this exposure on a windy, rainy day. I had been busy shooting reflections. When I straighted up and looked around, I spotted this beautiful study in light and tones. I was lucky enough to make a couple of exposures before the clouds closed up again.

Painting with Fall Colors

I decided to do a bit of painting with autumn colors. This is a double exposure, done in-camera. The first exposure was short and shallow, to capture the detail in the foreground. I then closed the aperture all the way down to facilitate painting on a longish shutter speed.

Pointer

After having spent the previous day accompanying the Southern Residents on their trip home, a male member of the Northern Community cruises lazily on the surface, resting and feeding. I’m pretty sure that this is A39, also known as Pointer.
