First time experiment—used a tube light to light up this little geological gem while shooting the Milky Way. Thoughts?

Tried a new Milky Way spot this week; spoiler alert: the next post from this night will be ... interesting. :)

Always fun when a work trip allows me to visit a new area. Had driven through Toronto once before, but it was fun to spend a day exploring.

Picture Lake, North Cascades, WA. This location plus no wind is about as good as views get, IMO.

I've been lucky that most of my stopovers at Trillium Lake have had fortunate light and weather… And sometimes blooms.

A reminder of the increasingly beautiful weeks ahead as the PNW moves into springtime. Hope everyone has some fun plans ahead!

Trails, falls, cliffs, canyons ... the areas near Banff astound the senses, even the smaller adventures like Johnston Canyon Falls here.

Traffic light trails are always fun... trying different exposures and catch a good mix of lights.

(📷 #photonerd: 4 seconds, and f/11 for those starbursts.)

When the plane departs early morning and the window is clear (enough) for a view, sometimes magic happens. Mt Hood, Oregon with distant—I think—Mt Jefferson. (If someone knows for sure, please correct me.)

Happy winter into spring. Both seasons in Oregon (winter and construction) have stunning views if you know where to look.

The Tetons abound with stunning views around every corner. Like here at the Lupines Meadows area. 💛

An hour or so before the Milky Way rises over the mountains.

We're hosting a Milky Way workshop in a couple of months. If you're interested, check out nwaperture.com for details.

The wine museum—La Cité du Vin—in Bordeaux practices what it preaches. The whole building was designed to emulate an ewer or carafe.

After dark—when photography magic happens. Iconic Oregon waterfall plus flashlights and longer exposures.

Some of the most scenic drives I've done, I think, were in the Icefields Parkway area of Banff Park in Alberta. 🌞

Off the beaten path waterfalls are my favorite in the Northwest. They don't have to be hundreds of feet tall or have visitors' centers. Better if they don't, in fact.

Bear's Hat in Glacier was one of our main MW destination attempts. Though I had some technical faux-pas that made it hard to process. 🤷 Still an amazing area.

Earlier shot I missed from a visit to Spirit Falls in Washington some time ago. It's fun editing later with newer techniques in mind.

Though the usual views are the pristine alpine lakes in Banff, sometimes the small trails to the viewpoint are just as scenic.

☑️ Reply here - what would be most interesting...
• landscape & travel photos (similar as Insta)?
• more on "how it was shot", behind-the-scenes & such?
• more on editing/processing photos?
• something else ??
