Let It Come To You by snyder7

Shooting in the forest is one of my most favorite things to do. It is incredibly peaceful to wander around massive trees, stepping on soft moss and letting all the sounds and smells come to you.

Being flexible and abandon all pre-conceived notions of what one wants to shoot is a must, otherwise all the hidden gems will go unnoticed.

This was shot in the early morning in the rainforest in the Olympic Peninsula, while scouting for fall color a couple of weeks ago. It’s a single exposure, shot at f/11, 1/25 sec. ISO 1600, focal length 85mm.

There’s still some spaces left for private workshops for shooting fall color. Make sure you Signup To My Newsletter and stay on top of workshops, print and tutorial sales, etc.

Last year, the landscape photography community lost Jeff Swanson. A great artist and all around great guy to melanoma. We can all do a small part in helping to eradicate this disease by contributing to the Melanoma Research Foundation, or by purchasing one (or several) prints of Jeff’s work at http://ift.tt/1Kmy8QL

As for this particular shot, this is a slight rework of a previously released work. Thank you for looking and above all, thank you for your donations!

IF you value shadow details and all that jazz, then do yourself a favor and see this in black. This is from a recent trip to the ONP where I was teaching a workshop. I was told about this spot last year, when Ted, Alex and I were shooting together for sunset.

This was the first time I’d been back to this place, where the conditions were good enough to shoot. Last month, the tide was very low and there was virtually no water action.

This time around it was pretty challenging to shoot and try to keep everything dry. I got completely soaked, camera included and I figured I should get out of this arch and dry everything before the camera would die.

This is a single exposure made with a Nikon D610 and Nikon 14-24mm. Processed in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop.

The Other Side by snyder7

This was without question, the most amazing sunset I’ve seen at Ruby Beach, this past weekend.

I was teaching a workshop and we decided to go to Ruby for sunset. After making sure my student was in good shape and shooting, I wanted to shoot inside the arch.

The tide was going up and I was getting soaked, camera included and I decided to move on to something else. This is how I came upon this amazing scene. Typically, one shoots looking to the other side of this stack, but the best light was happening in the “wrong” direction. The clouds were doing all kinds of crazy shapes and turning all kinds of colors and I quickly started shooting, before the light went away.

There’s a few more goodies from this same sunset, and the following morning’s sunrise shooting session.

Thanks for looking!
