When looking at long-term travel, it’s difficult to decide what camera gear to bring! Read my top picks that make up the ideal travel photo gear lineup!
Biweekly Wow: Sunset at Smith Rock
Smith Rock State Park is a fun playground for hikers, campers, and especially rock climbers. As photographers, we also like to visit as there’s lots to shoot. With the river, lofty vantages, plentiful wildlife, and the rock climbers, themselves, we wouldn’t be bored. Smith Rock was easy to include in our recent winter trip to Central Oregon, though the day didn’t turn out the way we planned.

Biweekly Wow: A Trip to Narnia at June Lake
Winter is a great time to play outdoors in this region, especially when you can find some fresh snow. We anticipated a waterfall and lots of white stuff when we ventured to June Lake, but we didn’t think we’d walk into a scene out of Narnia. Washington is full of surprises!

Winter at Oregon’s Painted Hills: A Hidden Gem
Central Oregon hides several magnificent wonders. We went out to see the Painted Hills, and we discovered so much more!
Biweekly Wow: Icicles
There’s just something magical about winter. While I’m not a big fan of cold weather, I’m certainly a fan of what it does to the landscapes with which I’m so familiar – and even those with which I’m not. It’s no secret that I love snow, but I also happen to like ice.

Biweekly Wow: Chilly Falls
Winter is not always the best time of year to photograph in the Pacific Northwest. We so seldom get the beautiful snow I love so much; instead, it’s a lot of rain and drab cloud cover. However, when we can find a reasonably dry day, we love to use this time of year to escape into the mountains. There, we can find some snow – and often ice – and the landscape is much more photo worthy.
This fortnight’s Biweekly Wow hails from such a trip.
