Oregon Macro & More Workshop

Last week Jack Graham and I presented a “Marco & More In The Gorge Workshop”.
It was held in the Columbia River Gorge area of Oregon.  A beautiful place with
great waterfalls, landscapes and plenty of wildflowers for macro work. We had a
awesome group of photographers that were a pleasure to work with.  Everyone got
along really well and all had a great time.  I saw a number of excellent images taken
by the participants.  The weather was hot but better that’s better than dealing with rain.
  I was able to shot some really nice stuff myself that I’ll post in the future.  A shot I
was looking to get was of the poppy flowers.  I’ve admired shots I’ve seen of these, and
have always hope to get a chance to shoot them.  In 2009 Jack and I will repeat this
workshop and also will be adding the tide pools from the coast.  The tide pools are very
cool with tons of macro opportunities, and I’ll post some image I shot there.  

Fiddleheads

Found these two nice fiddleheads but didn’t like the background, so I placed this skunk cabbage leaf behind them.
