He caught up to me most of the way through the Columbia River Gorge at the Multnomah Falls park. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5519f1afe4b0caf5831f2336/1428359918218-HE67WPRUQOZ4XHDEB89R/_DSC2726lq.jpg Oregon 14 - Yours Truly, OR 14 Alec Nelson, a good friend of mine, was bro-tier enough to drive three hours from his home in Washington to hang out for the latter half of the day.

The climate was exceedingly humid, affording the perfect environment for moss. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5519f1afe4b0caf5831f2336/1430101520983-VSWEAB8XYEJJBIL2T5TZ/_DSC2402b.jpg Oregon 14 - Fence? What Fence? My co-worker Mike decided to follow the directions and stay on the trail at MacLeay Park. Not content with the views from the trail, I decided to hop the fence, and walk along (and in) the creek nearby. N.D. filters 4 lyfe. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5519f1afe4b0caf5831f2336/1430101560632-I6WCUOT3M7O32KU6D7VF/_DSC2405b.jpg Oregon 14 - Fence? What Fence?

This view is from the Women's Overlook, with the View House in the distance. Also available as a stereo pair for 3-D viewing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5519f1afe4b0caf5831f2336/1430102000711-URHDJ5SWITKZKY4DNB0D/_DSC2642b.jpg Oregon 14 - Bridal Veil Falls Bridge It took four tries and ten minutes of waiting for people to clear to get this shot. Worth it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5519f1afe4b0caf5831f2336/1430102112782-BAJ0ORBV6O6JVLM4H4CX/_DSC2674.JPG Oregon 14 - Bridal Veil Falls Bridal Veil falls, Oregon. The view from the bottom of the muddy slope underneath the tourist platform is superior to the view from it, but the path is quite treacherous for one so short. The view of the pool from the bottom really balances the shot for me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5519f1afe4b0caf5831f2336/1430102249844-EUR1959LX183NT6CM0NF/_DSC2709b.jpg Oregon 14 - Give it a Month Eventually the logs will disappear. Or at least move a bit farther down stream. Along the Columbia River gorge waterfall trail. The mist coming off of the associated waterfall meant lens cleanings were basically futile. On the plus side: didn't have to shower that day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5519f1afe4b0caf5831f2336/1430102377094-3MGJPHYBZ5SNFMHXVC5Z/_DSC2737b.jpg Oregon 14 - Multnomah Falls Top A view of the top of Multnomah Falls. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5519f1afe4b0caf5831f2336/1430102394891-XQV5EOY7NNZP2MPU7VSQ/_DSC2734b.jpg Oregon 14 - Multnomah Falls Full It was getting into the evening when my co-worker and I made it to Multnomah Falls. I shot a few balancing and composition shots while waiting for the bridge to get as clear as possible, which took the better part of half an hour, but this is the shot that came from it. The mist coming off the falls required me to constantly clear my lens; some small drops are still visible in the upper part of the photo. All in all a very nice place. The bridge was accessible via a short walk, but the views from it were not terribly breathtaking. The mini-rockslide was exciting though, Alec and I stayed against the up-hill wall of the path for the rest of the climb... https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5519f1afe4b0caf5831f2336/1430782869412-06HFI43S8E96DTXQGSTO/_DSC2743b.jpg Oregon 14 - Over The Edge The view from the top of the falls. The walk up was killer, 1.25 miles of nothing but nearly 30 degree steep switchbacks. Alec managed to convince me to keep at it, so here's the view so you don't have to hike for it. You can barely see the plaza I took the upwards angle shots from in the lower right. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5519f1afe4b0caf5831f2336/1430102659611-W0W8SU99Y2KVOZCNJH9C/_DSC2771b.jpg Oregon 14 - Midnight Or maybe closer to 1 AM. Took eight or so shots to get it right, while holding a bag over it to keep the drizzle off. Mike had quit for the night at Multnomah, so it was Alec and me from there to Buffalo Wild Wings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5519f1afe4b0caf5831f2336/1430102702566-VE3R4JZRY5RUDC214UEI/ster+womens+overlook.JPG Oregon 14 - Women's Overlook Pan As promised, the stereo pair for the view from the Women's Overlook. http://www.system-failure.net/techstubs daily 0.75 2015-07-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5519f1afe4b0caf5831f2336/1431998212742-JB3XLQ9LLBVGHWXILPPV/_DSC6417copy.JPG Tech Stubs - Projection of Impressionism These were originally born of a mistake on my part. I was shooting a 35mm film cinema projector, and I decided to reframe my shot by cranking the zoom. I was unaware at the time that I had left the shutter open, something resembling this popped out. I initially wrote it off as a lost frame, but when I developed the roll, I decided to do an entire extra shoot based on this "technique." The choppiness of the lines in the image is due to the projector's interrupter breaking the light up in order to not illuminate the film during frame changes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5519f1afe4b0caf5831f2336/1431998212742-JB3XLQ9LLBVGHWXILPPV/_DSC6417copy.JPG Tech Stubs - Projection of Impressionism These were originally born of a mistake on my part.

Or maybe I'm reading too much into my own work. Or maybe I've been staring at this screen for too long. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5519f1afe4b0caf5831f2336/1437350936688-DC5RKJWKQVR5MVB8DNO3/_DSC3071.JPG Tech Stubs - Prince Rupert's Drop Before A before shot of a Prince Rupert's Drop.

The fracture front was measured to propagate at nearly 1,500 FPS. The fractured glass appears white because it hasn't had much chance to spread out, and so it reflects back the flash from all the cracks instead of passing the flash through it like the intact part of the drop.

I put my class ring behind it for this shot, but other neat things to shoot include maps of the world. If you do it right, the droplet of water looks like a globe! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5519f1afe4b0caf5831f2336/1437183481035-83N84P8473K605HM2UCF/_DSC0495.JPG Tech Stubs - Fives of Spades.

I really want to reshoot this with my new camera, but it's going to be hella tricky. I'm pretty convinced that the only reason I nailed it the first time was random chance.

When done in a manner that is correct in my opinion (your mileage may vary) the result is the formation of a thin sheet/disk of water over the top of the jet. If the jet is still moving briskly upwards when the second drop hits it, the result looks like image two in this title series. When the jet it moving upwards at about the same rate as the drop is falling, a flatter, leveler disk results. When the jet has even less energy, the disk looks like this. This image was lit from above, and from two sides by synchronized flashes.

Bottom lighting the water allows for a clean black background, with high contrast on the ripples of the surface of the water, which lens out the light.

It's the small darker circle in the middle of the large highlight on the plane.

The film of water for these shots was situated on top of a sheet of colored acrylic, which in turn, was sitting atop an upwards facing strobe. The strobe was strategically positioned in order to allow the reflection of the coronet to fall on an unlit section of acrylic, making the photo more symmetrical. I think the blue and aqua shots came out the best of the set.

For these images, the drops were backlit by an assembly of four colored acrylic sheets and a strobe. I exploited the water's lensing in order to gain color contrast from the ripples and bulges. The central column of drops is the most illustrative bit of the image to that point.

It turned out not to be very exciting, as the high surface tension means that the Galinstan Worthington jet is hard-pressed to break up into a droplet at the top.

I'm a big fan of the dimensionality that having light, broken up clouds brings to an image like this one. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5519f1afe4b0caf5831f2336/1430103797983-3UN3C5GE8VUI82PEGEU2/_DSC3080b.jpg Colorado 15 - Fall River Vally II Now with less foreground rocks. You know, if that's your preference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5519f1afe4b0caf5831f2336/1430103778203-LGE53X29S5RDYGET333Y/_DSC3085b.jpg Colorado 15 - Fall River Valley M(III) Hi. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5519f1afe4b0caf5831f2336/1430103815610-D682X2W0UIO424I9ZQSI/_DSC3079b.jpg Colorado 15 - Fall River Valley IV A tad more sky now. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5519f1afe4b0caf5831f2336/1430104158910-ZJ3GLWR855S9GILKMNKN/_DSC3191b.jpg Colorado 15 - Fall River Valley V Actually decided to come by the same spot a bit later; I like how the mountain top shadows give a bit more depth now. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5519f1afe4b0caf5831f2336/1430103986487-1D9MLMY5JY52D04MXX50/_DSC3150b.jpg Colorado 15 - Golden Fields More colors that I just can't nail down. However, I think this photo really showcases the dynamic range of the D810. the clouds still have a decent amount of definition in them, and look at that tree bark! It still looks bark-y! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5519f1afe4b0caf5831f2336/1430104002400-VKR87U0IAJAP9CNSR75T/_DSC3144b.jpg Colorado 15 - Roaring River Rocks Rocks From the Roaring River area of Rocky Mountains National Park. It was a tad difficult to do much climbing with all of my kit, but i managed to get a bit up river. The views weren't spectacular, but satellite analysis says that I probably should have gone farther up river. Also, more neutral density filters next time, because I was using my N.D. 400, ISO 60, f/22, and still having exposure times around 1/10s, which really isn't enough for the type of water smoothness I prefer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5519f1afe4b0caf5831f2336/1430104078099-GXNKOWGFAZ65UAN2MXZX/hdr+river+rocks+1.jpg Colorado 15 - HDR River Rocks 1 A merge of five photos taken knee deep in a river.

I had heard rumors that they might exist when we would be in the park, and had spent most of the rest of the time not ogling the various beautiful scenery wishing for elk. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5519f1afe4b0caf5831f2336/1430104255724-BQ004IBUD0ZLRIEU7EJV/_DSC3209b.jpg Colorado 15 - He Spooked So my coworker is driving, and we came upon this guy. We stop 80 or so feet away, and I open the car door, and hang out of the car by the seat belt. I tell my coworker to keep the car in reverse, and to just hit the gas if this guy decides to do anything stupid, but he ambles slowly up to within about 20 feet before deciding to split. At least he split at a good pace; the body mechanics are really interesting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5519f1afe4b0caf5831f2336/1430104324559-SLLH0KYAFUIMBOB45MW5/_DSC3235.JPG Colorado 15 - I Don't Even Know The Mountain But the highlights of the sunset on the snow blowing off the peak really work for me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5519f1afe4b0caf5831f2336/1430104330921-J4OSOUXNIG5N5PDLYLIV/_DSC3268cr.jpg Colorado 15 - Pure Majesty Honestly, I don't think I would if I could. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5519f1afe4b0caf5831f2336/1430104531288-NDZSEAVT78IW01IQ68NF/_DSC3284b.jpg Colorado 15 - 8Elk^1 These guys were part of a group of eight elk; the second of three groups of elk we encountered in numbers of successive powers of of eight.

Shot using a cheapo Zomei filter tuned for 910nm light, and a D810. Not half bad for $15, so I bought a 750nm filter, to be reported on in future uploads. This filter does eat light though; the constituent images were shot at ISO 2,000 f/2.8 30s. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5519f1afe4b0caf5831f2336/1434922985479-BHUUROC6SWCZBN0Y2JG7/_DSC4764.JPG Stubs - N.I.R.

III For this shot, the background colors have been backed off a bit. Letting the background color bleed in a bit is a good way to increase contrast near the edge of the color, but shooting without it allows for a black background, which looks nicer IMO.Additionally, the casing of the party popper has been fully stripped away, and some glow from the explosion can be seen in the middle of the image. A final not: if you look closely at my Leatherman, you can see a small shockwave reflection where the main bubble hits it.

But also with more Victoria's dad getting fed up with me walking so slowly due to basically constant photo-ops.

This is basically The Shot that I use to illustrate that sometimes pictures absolutely should not have their color saturation "enhanced" with Photoshop.

It's still light out, temperature is nice, but the lighting isn't great. I shoot around a bit, strap up, and decide I want to make my way to the top of the dunes. The mosquitoes. are. everywhere. The pond at the bottom of the Dunes is essentially one big stagnant mosquito hatchery; it's the worst swarm of mosquitoes I've ever seen. I try running the trail to the top, but I just can't, way too many mosquitoes. Ctd. 30s exposure, lit by moonlight, ~1 AM. 18mm (27mm) f/3.5 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5519f1afe4b0caf5831f2336/1430184906916-AHYAVCXZTW1192KK7TIC/_DSC5486.JPG Idaho 14 - Bruneau Dunes II So we retreat to the car, and spend the better part of half an hour murdering the dozens of insects that flew in when we opened the doors. Some of their corpses are probably still in that car to this day. We wait a while, until about 1 AM turning the AC on and off intermittently, ever wary for the sound of a missed bug. I head out with my kit, and frame up some shots. The mosquitoes are still horrible, but now they're a tad fewer than before. My technique for these shots was something like this: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5519f1afe4b0caf5831f2336/1430184953718-ET9EUZEI80KCMSOBZT59/_DSC5499.JPG Idaho 14 - Bruneau Dunes III Step 1: Plant tripod, frame shot, meter, focus, push shutter. Step 2: Run in a large circle approximately 30s in circumference. Step 3: Realize that was only 20s, and the shutter is still open. Run another loop. Step 4: Check histogram, refocus, re-trip shutter, run in another, bigger, circle. Step 5: Repeat step 4 if necessary, else grab tripod while running and move to next spot. That thing in the top right is the moon! and the left side of the sky is the milky way! Way more stars than in NYC! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5519f1afe4b0caf5831f2336/1430184983497-L1IZLVDK2AW5XD6WA8QD/_DSC5505.JPG Idaho 14 - Bruneau Dunes IV After all the shooting was done, we all piled back into the car, and managed to make it to the only Dominoes for an hundred miles fifteen minutes before closing. They still made us some pizzas, because we were starving, and they were pretty bro-tier. I'm going to go back to Bruneau some day. I'm going to go back there and climb those dunes. Also re-shoot with my new D810. This trip was my D7000's last hurrah, and it performed admirably. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5519f1afe4b0caf5831f2336/1430185676125-LL8AYBNUGZ1ZCMCV4AUV/_DSC6307.JPG Idaho 14 - Raptor Ridge At the Boise Birds of Prey center. there were some really neat birds there, but the light didn't work out too well for me for the most part. No matter, it was still a phenomenal stop, highly recommend. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5519f1afe4b0caf5831f2336/1431746048314-BNWDBRU7NPH1HI7EX29X/_DSC6222.JPG Idaho 14 - Kestrel This little guy was the cutest thing. I managed to catch his handler, an older gentleman named Bill B. after he gave a small presentation on the kestrel to room full of people, and asked him to hang on for a few shots. When I got home, I noticed his name tag displayed that he had volunteered over 900 hours of his time to the center since 2008. Bravo, Bill B. you were a pretty chill guy, and thanks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5519f1afe4b0caf5831f2336/1430185029943-GZZD1WYQS2L57P7QVAY4/_DSC5589.JPG Idaho 14 - Rapids I https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5519f1afe4b0caf5831f2336/1430185101890-OLAFSE09PYB48AHY2HYQ/_DSC5612.JPG Idaho 14 - Rapids II Don't let the smoothness of the water fool you, these were some reasonably serious bits of whitewater. I do just love how serene it feels after the ND filter though. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5519f1afe4b0caf5831f2336/1430185151795-V6JQ28WY2007PD2VHXLK/_DSC5634.JPG Idaho 14 - Rapids III Ended up having to camp out in a slow vehicle turnout for ten or fifteen minutes to wait for a 30 second gap in traffic to avoid streaking on the bridge. It did give me the chance to take a really good look at the shot beforehand though, so I think I got the details exactly as I wanted them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5519f1afe4b0caf5831f2336/1430185316572-HNVX7R64V4VPW52QSXV1/_DSC5769.JPG Idaho 14 - Yours Truly, McCall Lake, ID, 14 In case you're wondering, that's my F5 around my neck. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5519f1afe4b0caf5831f2336/1430185370861-ABLO702ZRCXHPHCIYBM7/_DSC5850.JPG Idaho 14 - McCall Flowers I don't know what they are, but they sure were pretty.

Bridge over the Payette One of a few good bridge spots on Rt. 55 over the Payette River. This bridge is here: 43.975464, -116.191841, but a rope footbridge with a really neat view (if you're brave/stupid enough to hop the fence and then venture out on the rickety thing) is here: 44.211792, -116.106211. And I just spent a stupid amount of time tracing the Payette river on Google maps to get those coordinates, so you better use 'em. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5519f1afe4b0caf5831f2336/1430185792822-YS9IJWUY03LW6VT5676X/_DSC6462.JPG Idaho 14 - Out the Window I Unidentifiable mountains on the way to Stanley, ID.

Ugh. Anyway, it was a wonderful, if drizzly night for camping near Redfish Lake. On a little jaunt to the lake, I found some small Labradorite like inclusions in the local rock, miniscule really, but enough to send back a few blue reflections from my flashlight. Also, a camouflaged fish. Also, too poor conditions to get any significantly good pictures. On the bright side, at the Sunny Gulch campground near Salmon River I found a small sample of opal, which was freaking awesome, because I had really wanted to go opal hunting that trip, but couldn't. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5519f1afe4b0caf5831f2336/1430185943108-89Y536LWDFKN9H9FRF2I/_DSC6572.JPG Idaho 14 - River Rocks I My best guess at to the location is along Redfish Lake trail #186. ND filter, 30s exposure, knee deep water. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5519f1afe4b0caf5831f2336/1430185951687-7NMHIT05V8S6UF9S9R25/_DSC6575.JPG Idaho 14 - River Rocks II I think this is my favorite photo of the trip. Some of the Bruneau dunes are also up there, but the sheer texture of the rock, and the absolute cooperation the lighting gave me really put this on the top of my stack. The water fogged just right, the rocks sat nice and still, the highlights didn't saturate, and all was right in the world. I took this picture at the start of the hike, and then again a few hours later, after thinking it over a bit, and the second set pictures were almost exactly the same as the first set. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5519f1afe4b0caf5831f2336/1430186008772-80I8PNO0NGQXNR0NV345/_DSC6577.JPG Idaho 14 - River Rocks III https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5519f1afe4b0caf5831f2336/1430186101232-ZBPSFASVEZLYADN420HF/_DSC6669.JPG Idaho 14 - River Rocks IV The lensing going on due to the averaging of the water flowing around the rocks is just awesome. And quite science too. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5519f1afe4b0caf5831f2336/1430186111071-HXXWCIZ0J1XE0GKMYHHB/_DSC6670.JPG Idaho 14 - River Rocks V https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5519f1afe4b0caf5831f2336/1430186135257-014M4EO43B7I8ZG61LF5/_DSC6682.JPG Idaho 14 - River Rocks VI Always always always bracket your important/favorite shots.

On the drive back to Salt Lake, we took a bit of a detour through some neat sites to see, and City of Rocks was one of them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5519f1afe4b0caf5831f2336/1430186346688-S1CX2YBE0WTZFTSJQTSS/_DSC6915.JPG Idaho 14 - Stop the Car. We were doing 85 when I saw this hanging out on the side of the road. Since there were damn near zero other people on the road, we just stopped, pulled a U-turn, and drove back a ways, before pulling off onto the shoulder. The place had no walls left at all, and it was an awesome find. It's to my best guess here, in case you were wondering: 42.009859, -113.206767. If you happen to go there, and it is not there, keep driving south on 30S/81. It's definitely before you hit Utah. But I'm pretty sure that's it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5519f1afe4b0caf5831f2336/1430186478280-HBOAEHZAOTSJY80CTJ4A/_DSC6976.JPG Idaho 14 - Out the Window II https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5519f1afe4b0caf5831f2336/1430186490220-GA7RAYK8WFMDF0IXJN5L/DSC00681.JPG Idaho 14 - Pix Or It Didn't Happen Boy do they make good burgers. http://www.system-failure.net/florida-13 daily 0.75 2015-07-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5519f1afe4b0caf5831f2336/1432599115608-E04VWFWPWIVYWUI33FX8/_DSC6795.JPG Florida 13 - Washed Up I I came across this guy trying to make its way back to the water on one of my walks. It was attempting (and succeeding, to an extent) to roll its way back to the water, which really blows my mind, because I didn't think these things were capable of understanding not water let alone understanding where water is, and how to get itself there.
