New on 500px : Beautiful New Day!!! by iluvmtns2 by iluvmtns2

Up and headed up to the lake by 4:30 am, this shot taken about 6:00 am, with 33 degrees cold, but so worth the wait and the freezing cold. The lake was very calm, used a 6 stop ND filter to further calm the water and capture this moment of nature’s calm beauty and serenity

New on 500px : Overload by AaronMPhoto by AaronMPhoto

After days spent hiking to a number of waterfalls, several breweries, and a few hours stuck in the snow, my 3 day trip to the Columbia River Gorge ended at Proxy Falls.

I arrived early so I could have time to figure out what compositions I wanted. The sun stayed behind the trees and out of the way until just after 10:30am, giving me over 2 hours to shoot with beautiful soft light. Once the sun came out I watched as the classic “light beams” came out. Ultimately I decided not to use those photos because I felt they distracted from the stunning waterfall!

The Milky Way and millions of other stars above Mt Jefferson, Mt Jefferson Wilderness, Oregon.

This is an image from an early season backpacking trip to Jefferson Park several weeks ago with my buddy Jordan Ek. It was a completely moonless night and the stars were absolutely amazing. There was no light pollution at this location, which is an added bonus for central/western Oregon.

Thanks for taking a look and for any comments you have. I really appreciate everyone taking the time to share their thoughts on the image.

Cape Kiwanda in Pacific City Oregon. I know I have probably shot this frame a hundred times in the past but the light I got that day makes this one post worthy.
