Nazaré Beaches
As promised, this week our blog is back at the beach. The first series of five photographs are from around sunset at the same beach as the giant waves, just taken from down on the sand rather than from up on the cliffs. It was overcast and the light was fading, so the images as…

Nazaré Windows
When I started collecting images for this post, my initial thought was to have an assortment of “Nazaré” photos—doors, windows, streets, looking down on the town from up on the cliffs, etc.—but I rapidly decided I really had too much material to fit that much in a single post. Today’s problem will be a benefit…

Wet Feet at the Beach
Our group ended its first full day of photography on a beach north of Nazaré. As with every beach we visited on this trip—and there were quite a few—there were a nice variety of rocks and cliffs to photograph. I took over 50 images of the group of rocks above, trying to get different patterns…

Admiralty Bay
During my visit to Whidbey Island back in September, I visited the northern shore of Admiralty Bay several times. This area includes Fort Casey to the west (which I will leave for a future post of its own), a ferry terminal, and a long beach that is called Fort Casey Beach at one end and…

Deception Pass
One night during the Whidbey Island photography workshop, the informal plan was for us to go to Deception Pass to photograph the sunset. Fortunately, one of the attendees had a local photographer friend who knew exactly where to go, or I don’t think I would have ended up in the right spot. If you look…

Fall Color over Guanella Pass
About two weeks ago we drove a loop that went over Guanella Pass, Colorado, in search of aspen trees decked out for fall. It was a Saturday and we clearly weren’t the only ones with the same idea. Traffic was really hideous in the little towns at either end of the road over the pass,…

Rainy Day
A week ago it was raining heavily on my day off and I decided to finally go photograph some amazing red rock formations in South Valley County Park. I drive right past the edge of this park several times a week because it is close to work, but it is still at the far end…

Chatfield State Park, Extended
I decided to follow up last week’s post about Chatfield State Park with another so I could share some other images of the lake and its surroundings. If you have been following my blog for a while, you have probably noticed that I like silhouettes and simplified color palettes. The image above certainly qualifies, and…

Chatfield State Park
Since my wife and I work past either end of Chatfield State Park and we almost always commute together, I drive up and down the west edge of the park many times each week. The singular feature of the park is Chatfield Lake (officially Chatfield Reservoir, since it is an artificial lake). Since I have…

Scary Antelope Island
The photo above should make it clear why I said last week that this week’s post would be somewhat disturbing. The Great Salt Lake is popular with photographers for the abundant bird life, but on my visit it was the bug life that truly impressed. Whenever a bird would take a step forward, clouds of…
