I spent Memorial Day weekend camping at the beach with a couple of friends, on Washington state’s Olympic Peninsula. We were fortunate to have had fantastic weather the first two days (never a guarantee here this time of year), and I had a great time shooting while we explored the area.

We went up to Kalaloch Beach to see the Tree of Life, and also hit Ruby Beach at sunset. The air at Ruby Beach was filled with mist from the crashing waves, lit golden by the sun. One of the sea stacks had a hole in it, through with the sunlight was positively streaming, and the shot I got of it is now up in my store as Poseidon’s Door.

I also turned my lens on smaller things I found lying in the sand, and got a long exposure night shot to round things out.

I hope your Memorial Day weekend was equally pleasant!

Gear: Nikon Z 7II, Nikon Z 24-70mm f2.8 S

I spent my weekend getting out and enjoying the sun and the autumn color, visiting places both new to me and familiar.

The familiar place was Mount Si, which is the mountain partly responsible for me moving to Washington in the first place. I'd flown up to Seattle for a job interview and, afterwards, had a limited amount of time to explore the area. I ended up down in Snoqualmie, caught my first good view of Mount Si, and knew that I wanted to live here.

The new place was the aptly named High Steel Bridge, out on the Olympic Peninsula. It crosses a steep gorge over the South Fork Skokomish River and the view from the span is pretty great. I brought my drone so that I could include the bridge in a shot.

I hope you all had a great weekend, and are getting the opportunity to see some autumn colors in your area.
