Lakes around Mount Hood, Sept 2016

After a tough week with a very, very tough photoshoot at a hospital, I took a day off to just grab my swimming trunks and head off to some of the fabulous lakes south of Mount Hood in Oregon. By the time I arrived, a lovely morning fog had burned off and bright sunshine warmed the air. I hit Trillium Lake, Little Crater Lake, and Timothy Lake in Clackamas County, and briefly Clear Lake in Wasco County. 

None of these shots is edited beyond straightening or very minor contrast adjustment. I shot with an iPhone 7, a Canon T3i with the kit 18-55 lens, and a Canon 6D with a 100mm 2.8 lens.

Nice person in Portland, Oregon, and beyond.

OMHT Lake Project: Lake Harriet

In November 2015 I worked with Oregon's Mount Hood Territory (OMHT) to explore seven (and a half) lakes south of Mount Hood in 48 hours. This post is on Lake Harriet, a seclude, serene reservoir off of Forest Road 57 between Ripplebrook ranger station to the west and Timothy Lake to the east.

In November 2015 I worked with Oregon's Mount Hood Territory (OMHT) to explore seven (and a half) lakes south of Mount Hood in 48 hours. This post is on North Fork Lake, a reservoir at the western edge of the Cascade Mountains, near Estacada, Oregon, and where the north fork of the Clackamas River splits off from the main.

In November 2015 I worked with Oregon's Mount Hood Territory (OMHT) to explore seven (and a half) lakes south of Mount Hood in 48 hours. This post is on Little Crater Lake, a few miles north of Timothy Lake, and a short, but icy drive from Oregon Highway 26 and Skyline Road.

OMHT Lake Project: Timothy Lake

In November 2015 I worked with Oregon's Mount Hood Territory (OMHT) to explore seven (and a half) lakes south of Mount Hood in 48 hours. I loved them all, but the real surprise for me was Timothy Lake, a large, gorgeous body of water southeast of Government Camp. It's a jewel, and I am amazed I'd not visited previously. But I will certainly return.
