South West USA series

Right now I’m concentrating on completing my series on the South West USA. It’s going to include: Bryce Canyon, Northern Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, Lake Tahoe, Las Vegas, Reno, and more. I hope to have it done by the end of July, but we’ll see how things go. I’m going to be adding the photos as I complete them. It was a great trip and I hope to go back there soon!

[update] Adding this series is proving to be quite time consuming. I’m thinking it could possibly take until at least August to have it completed!

A lake near Mt. St. Helens

The very first photo! The first thing we did on the trip was to take small side trip towards Mt. St. Helens. We never went the entire way to the mountain, but part way down the road we came to this lake where we would turn around. The colours in the sky and lake were really amazing and I think that’s what really made this picture.

The same lake near Mt. St. Helens

This shot is near the same area as the first one. There’s not a lot of interest in the shot, but like the first one, I like the colours. It turns out that the camera was on iso 400, which brought in some grain but it’s not too noticeable.

My favourite photo at the lake

This pier shot is my favourite of the three at the lake. I really like the rays coming from the clouds. I also like the warmth of the shot as well.

Passing Portland

This shot was taken as we passed Portland on the I-5. I’ve passed Portland many times but never actually been to the city. I think that’s something I’d like to do in the future. It is just a snapshot but I like it, although it is heavily cropped.

I-5 pullout Southern Oregon

Bit of a classic shot of a tractor kicking up dust in the dry summer heat. We stopped at a pullout on the I-5 in southern Oregon, and right to the side of us was this farm. I have a lot of shots of the pullout; the trees around us had this really interesting bark and I took a lot of texture pictures, but I don’t think they’re worth posting for this series.
