I think this is the rock that goes by that name near Bandon OR. There are a number of nice pointy rocks in the area near Face Rock.

This is a timelapse from a few weeks ago in Trona Pinnacles in California. My goal was to do Deep Space Astro that night, and so I had set up my D850 to shoot in camera timelapse video in the meantime. There is one small hiccup in it, that I have spent several hours trying to mask, and in the...

I had stopped to shoot the glistening water as we drove from the beach to have dinner in Bandon when this bird flew by and I luckily included it.

My wife and I were at first a bit disappointed that our last full day of a week long vacation in Oregon was a stormy. We ended up having one of our nicest walks on this beach just south of Cannon. A bit of rain made it a fast and exciting return, but didn't result in an actual soaking. Of course...

We lucked out with some nice clouds at sunset the night we spent at the SP on the OR coast.

One last shot from my hike up to Lake Serene last week. This one is looking west out toward the lowlands, Hwy 2 traverses this valley.

After Jim Fox's comments on my previous version of this in portrait orientation I went back and found this landscape zoomed in version and processed it today for a tighter view into the distant peaks.

Taken from the Lake Serene trail at sunrise looking north to Columbia Peak area.

The start of spring but Mt. Index is still wearing it's winter coat.

Yesterday I set the alarm for 4 am so that I could make it up to Lake Serene below Mt. Index for sunrise. I was expecting this popular just less than 4 mile trail to be well boot packed, but was disappointed that the last mile was deep snow that only had a snowshoe track. My pace slowed...

I flew my drone from the end of the plowed road on Hwy 20 last week when I was up there to ski. This is looking back west to Diablo Lake, Colonial Pk. and Paul Bunyans Stump behind. 2 rows of 3 pano.

Taken from the SE, which is where the climbers route goes. This is a drone view from above the snow-park I camped at. I tried to ski it the next day but had to turn back 1,000 ft. from the rim in a whiteout. Click through for large gallery image.

I made a solo attempt on Mt. Saint Helens yesterday. Soon after I got this shot the clouds from the west enveloped me in a snowy whiteout. I turned around about 1,000 ft. below the rim and skied down by brail - we joke that it is like being inside a ping-pong ball. Luckily some other skiers...

I got this yesterday on a long slog breaking trail up the Deer Creek road off The Mountain Loop Hwy in WA. I just processed this drone pano looking back down the valley that I'd skied up. The picture above was taken back down just around the corner. I was hoping for more sun breaks and a good...

This is from Badwater in Death Valley from a few days back. I wanted to find a place where I could get people movement and I thought about the main parking area at Badwater. This was shot at 3 second intervals for the main shots. My second camera was set up at 2 second intervals so I could see...

We woke up late to a nice sunrise starting. I got up and made coffee, but didn't think it would amount to much. Just when I was pouring my cup it peaked and I hurried to get the drone up. Shoulda waited on the coffee - I missed the best of it, but the left overs were still nice. Mt. Pilchuck...

This is a Parker River Wildlife Refuge boardwalk on Plum Island in Massachusetts that goes all the was from the refuge road to the sand beach.

A drone view pano from above my house. I love to watch dramatic thunderheads change, esp. at sunset/rise. Click through for large gallery image

Last week I was first tempted to fly my drone up by this nice thunderhead over the mountains. I really like the glimpse of the mountains beneath the clouds and the veil of rain. I landed and waited a bit before taking off again to look toward Lake Stevens when the color got better. Not my...
