“Rebirth”
Spotted this one tiny mushroom while I was hiking through a completely burned area along Fall Creek.
“Escape”
“Spring Preview”
Spent some time in my yard playing with a new-to-me lens (Sony 1.8/35 SAM on an A58). Pretty noisy even at fairly low ISO but I got some nice macro shots with pleasing background blur.
“Butterflies in the Rain”
Another of Eugene’s many murals.
“Weathered Wave”
Architectural detail from Eugene Fire Station #1 with (obviously) some cinematic post-processing.
“No Parking Bud”
Possibly the most Eugene parking meter ever.
“Circle of Mushrooms”
These tiny little guys were only about an inch across all told.
“Pigs in a Tree”
I dunno, maybe nobody else sees round heads with snouts here.
“It’s Winter Dammit!”
There was just enough snow at the top of Spencer Butte for some dedicated hiker to build a tiny snowman.
“Spores”
Playing around with a new flash…clearly didn’t get enough light for noise reduction here, but I still like the feel.
“Tiny Dam”
I suppose it’s old tech by now, but I’m always amazed by image stabilization in modern cameras. This is a two-second handheld time exposure.
“Moss Garden”
“Over the Parapet”
Tiny mushroom at Mount Pisgah.
“Sea and Sky”
60-second exposure (with ND10 filter + in-camera ND5) turned this day of wind and surf into this dreamy image.
“Surfing Gulls”
“Dreaming Gulls”
The ND10 filter I was using at Bob Creek gave the original a horrible greenish cast, but reprocessing as monochrome it actually turned out OK.
“Glisten”
Tiniest mushrooms along the Ridgeline Trail. Had to thrash through some brambles to get this shot but it was worth it.
“Moss Flamingos”
Like lawn flamingos, but different.
“Cape Perpetua Spray”
I rather like the ethereal look of long exposures of crashing waves and foam. I need to find some subjects other than rocks to experiment with though. Fortunately stormy weather is pretty easy to come by at the Oregon coast.
“Cascade”
Trailside stream along the Glynn Creek Trail.
