My wife and I decided to take a walk along Percival Landing last night after dinner. I really didn’t want to carry a big dslr with me, so I grabbed my Lumix LX-3 point and shoot that I carry in my Tacoma with me. We were treated to a very peaceful sunset along the water and goes to show that you don’t always need a big dslr to make a nice image.

Part of moving to a new town is scouting out shooting locations. I am fortunate that I have spent a good amount of time in the Olympia area prior to moving here, that is one of the reasons we picked Olympia to be our new home.
One of the places I discovered this weekend while out scouting locations was Overlook Park in Tumwater, WA. I spent a little time up there yesterday afternoon with my D7000 and my Sigma 50-500 lens. The view of Mt. Rainier from this part is spectacular, however it was a somewhat hazy day. There is also a great view of the port that might lead to an interesting time lapse video. There is also a great perspective of the capital building that I had not seen before. I have shot the capital building a number of times, but always from the other side and from a much lower vantage point.
I hope you enjoy this image, and there will be a lot more coming from this little park with the amazing views.

Many know that I really enjoy IR photography. The weather was spectacular after work yesterday so I decided to grab the IR D200 and head down to a local city park.
I typically desaturate my IR images a lot more than this, but I loved the tones that came out in the trees from the super color IR filter in my camera.
I hope you enjoy it, and I am really looking forward to getting the IR camera out more.

Ok, there isn’t anything really special about a branch covered in moss, but when it is your first blog post in nearly 6 weeks, it is a somewhat important image.
As most of my followers know, we just moved from Arizona to Washington State. This move has taken literally all of our time for the last couple month, there just hasn’t been time to do anything other than move. For that matter, I took my D7000 out of the bag for the first time since Feb. yesterday. I was a little surprised that I remembered how to use it, and even more surprised that I remembered how to import images into Lightroom. :-)
This image really is just an ice breaker so to speak. We are not nearly settled in yet, everything we own is pretty much still in boxes, but I am really looking forward to getting out and starting to shoot again. It has been way too long.

The 2012 monsoon season is still months away and by the time it does arrive I will be living in Washington State, but that doesn’t mean that I can’t be excited that the first real weather since December is in the Phoenix forecast for this coming Sunday. While there might not be any lightning, you can always hope.
As for this image, it was from the 2008 monsoon and was captured in Tucson, AZ. It has always been one of my favorite lightning images and thought I would share it again in hopes of making the weather gods happy this weekend. :-)
