oh my gush (ponytail falls, columbia river gorge) by maxvuong



Posted a few days ago on my facebook First time in the PNW and I had a blast. I didn't come away with much but I got to spend time with some awesome people. Thanks for letting me hang with ya'll. And a huge thanks for the hospitality and for letting me crash at your pad. Oh, and it wasn't poison oak. Just a water rash from swimming in my waders all day :) via 500px http://ift.tt/1iQgnWU

Broken Arms by RyanDyar



This was a tough shot to pull off... both with composition and processing. It's a fairly extensive perspective blend that I had to utilize to get all the elements shaped up properly with the frame while overcoming the limitations of the natural elements and my own lens. It was all focus blended, blended for dynamic range, hand-stitched from different focal lengths, and then warped to get everything looking ship-shape again. After all of that it was pretty straight forward processing for me. Some texture work, some luminosity masking to get the tones proper across the board, and a bunch of dodging/burning (some of which is covered in my latest video tutorial). I'm currently working on my next video tutorial which will cover many of these perspective blend, warping, stitching techniques I use. It's pretty labor intensive work to put these together, but isn't necessarily *hard* to pull off. As always, check out my site for more images, info about processing instruction, in-field workshops, prints, and yadd yadda yadda that everyone else in this community does. http://ift.tt/HjSx9r via 500px http://ift.tt/1p72oAl

Morning Spirit by johnfanphotography



The air at the Cannon Beach was particularly fresh after raining for a day. I went after these two shells like a little kid. They moved around with each wave that came ashore. I finally caught them close together. via 500px http://ift.tt/1jrUxxU

Oneonta Falls by mattk



This photo is from Oneonta Falls just outside of Portland, Oregon. Oneonta has been on my photography bucket-list for years, and I finally got the chance to visit. The weather was beautiful (although the water was a bit cold) and we were treated to some light rays coming across the falls at just the right time. I wrote a full story about my trip, along with some other photos over on my blog at: www.mattk.com via 500px http://ift.tt/1vaUwSL

Spring Greens by SarahMarino



Ron Coscorrosa and I are thrilled to announce our third e-book, Beyond the Grand Landscape: A Guide to Photographing Nature’s Smaller Scenes. This book was a massive project (174 pages, over 250 photographs), but we wanted to do the topic justice. We both enjoy photographing these smaller scenes (intimates, abstracts, and portraits of flowers and plants) quite a bit, and find the process more fulfilling and more personal than trying to capture epic light at well-known destinations on the landscape photography circuit. If you would like to learn more, you can visit our ebook website, Nature Photo Guides. You can save 10% off the introductory price of $15.95 with the coupon code BGL10. Thanks! via 500px http://ift.tt/1orvL2O

Crimson Apex by alexnoriega



You may have seen this image of Mount Jefferson, Oregon before; I just realized I didn't have it posted over here, and it's one of my favorites from last year. Several fresh images to come from Olympic once I get around to processing them! This was a pretty special night of some crazy-late-evening intense red light, and romping around in wildflower meadows with some pretty awesome dudes. That's what real dudes do: frolic. If you like how my images look, you may be interested to know that I teach my processing techniques via Skype.

Molten Lava by MichaelBollino



Hard to believe we're entering the second week of May and summer shooting in the high country will be here before we know it. I'm really looking forward to this summer as I have designs on visiting and shooting locations in Washington's Cascade range I've wanted to explore for years. To tide me over I finished processing this image from last summer taken in Jefferson Park in Oregon. http://ift.tt/YpeSs1 via 500px http://ift.tt/1g9UKQ6

Columbia River Gorge Sunrise by ZackSchnepf



This is 5 exposures blended together using my advanced Photoshop tonality control and multiple exposure blending techniques. I produced a video detailing these techniques, it's available here: www.zschnepf.com Last weekend I was co-teaching a workshop in the Gorge with fellow Photo Cascadia member and good friend David Cobb. We had a great group as usual. We were under a pretty cool, unstable weather pattern with lots of wind and rain, but it set us up for some dramatic conditions. We saw waterfalls, rainbows, paragliders, wildflower fields, incredible gorge views, and some spectacular light. This was our last morning. While I was helping some students set up in some foreground flowers I noticed this scene unfolding. I stepped to the edge of the cliff and fired off a quick bracket series and went back to helping some students. It was a great weekend of photography and adventure. Thanks for commenting!

Real Creeks Have Curves by alexnoriega



Light filters through the canopy of Gorton Creek during a break in the rain, in Oregon's Columbia River Gorge. Met up with some dope dawgs (Bollino, Mody, Rossbach, and Van Breugel) and had a chill Sunday of huevos rancheros, naps, and green shooting. Sorry for the re-upload here, my contacts were messed up last night and I was squinting through calcium deposits (maybe I should stop wearing my weeklies for 3 months) - didn't see some clarity/sharpening/diffusion issues with the original. FYI, I teach my processing workflow over Skype!

Cavedwellers - Aaron Reed Photography by AaronReedPhotography



Artist: Aaron Reed Limited Edition Prints and Licensing information can always be found on my website at http://ift.tt/12VidRu A dreamy little scene captured from inside the cave at Ponytail Falls in the Columbia River Gorge last year. I had tried to capture a similar image before but never really cared for one without the fog and hints of fall color. via 500px http://ift.tt/1lOK6BR
