I'd be lying if I said I wasn't really enjoying myself.

This was shot with my Canon 6d mkii and the 70-200.
And this was shot on Kodak Portra 400 with my Canon AE-1 and the 50mm lens. Kind of fun to see how differently they turn out. I might start bringing both with me everywhere just to see what I can create with each and their respective limitations.

Chased this cloud from High St all the way to Marcola. This was the best composition I could manage.

As far as I'm concerned this morning's drive was incredibly fruitful. Oakridge, OR

Past couple days were a little busy so no photos but this morning more than made up for it as far as I'm concerned.
Interesting discovery in the forest.

Hard to articulate just how much I love the 6x17 crop. If I ever get into film photography it will be specifically because I want to shoot 6x17.
As much as I'm looking forward summer, and this statement may be a little premature as it is only February, I am going to miss foggy mornings. Eugene, OR

All I really want is a well composed picture of a rainbow. One of these day's I'll pull it off I'm sure. Eugene, OR
Apparently Eugene is a central hub for grain in the Northwest. Whodathunkit. Eugene, OR

Edgy and provocative. Hopefully the regret of posting this will keep me from being so lazy in the future.
Because of that I decided to edit one from a while back that I'm pretty happy with. Heceta Head Lighthouse, Florence, OR.

Sunrise after heading back from a dismal morning waiting for an opportunity to see the lunar eclipse. Springfield, OR
The only photo I got with any portion of the eclipse. The night started off pretty clear but the later it got the more cloud cover there was. I had to relocate outside of town because a dense fog descended around 01. Lowell, OR.

Between work and driving to the coast the day before I forgot to take any photos which makes it twice so far this year. I'm not going to sweat it.
The sea stacks here are pretty incredible. Feels like another world. Bandon, OR

The night before this picture was taken I was driving home in a dense fog on a winding road in a pretty rural part of Oregon. As I came around a pretty tight turn I saw movement on the side of the road and brought my car to a stop. A mountain lion jumped out from the gulley on the side of the road and stared at me for several seconds. When I went to grab my camera she took off into the woods. I drove down the road a bit and circled back hoping for an opportunity to catch another glimpse.
This morning I went out to the same spot hoping to catch some low lying fog in the valley with the trees breaking though (see below). I turned off the main road onto a logging road approximately a mile from where I'd been the night before.
I'd once heard Nick Page say that whenever he's in a place where there might be cool wildlife he drives with his longest lens on his camera ready to go. This is advice I've taken to heart and I credit it with almost all the wildlife shots I've gotten.
As I turned off the road I saw a group of three mountain lions about 100 feet down the road. I grabbed my camera as two of them took off into the woods. The third stood up and walked into the road and stared me down. She walked across the road then looked back at me again before meandering into the woods. I feel incredibly lucky to have been able to see such a majestic animal even once. To have encountered a group of them, something nearly unheard of as they are solitary cats, within 24 hours of my initial sighting was truly surreal.
