Every image has a backstory and this one is no exception. Last week I was traveling in Washington and Oregon, chasing waterfalls and on Friday, I had just completed a pretty strenuous seven-mile hike to beautiful Ramona Falls, east of Portland. I was hot, worn out, and hungry. As I drove down the mountain, I remembered being in this area three years ago before dawn to photograph Mount Hood and its reflection on Trillium Lake. On that trip, we missed the shot because the mountain was covered in clouds.

 

I remembered something the great Dewitt Jones once said about putting yourself in the place of greatest possibility and opportunity. I knew the golden hour was approaching, and I knew that I was close to Trillium Lake, so I changed direction and headed for the lake again, hoping that I might find the decisive moment.

 

The sky was blue, and it was cold and I was tired but hopeful. When I arrived at the lake, I was a little disappointed to see that there was a light breeze on the surface of the lake, which meant that a glassy reflection was not going to happen this time. But Mount Hood was bathed in the golden glow of sunset, and it was beautiful, towering over the surrounding tree-covered forest.

 

So I set up my tripod and took my shots, hoping that the breeze would stop and allow the surface of the lake to calm down and become a glassy mirror. That never happened. But I ended up with two versions of the scene, and I love how they both turned out.

 

I was reminded again of the magic we can find by going the extra mile in life, which is literally, what I did that evening. I drove further. I pushed myself further. I applied my skills, and I leveraged my location, which was filled with possibilities. I applied my experience and my passion to create something beautiful that I would have missed out on if I hadn't put myself in this place of greatest opportunity. I would be very interested to know which image you like best; (1.)The close-up of the mountain, or (2.)The wide-angle shot of the solitary fisherman in the boat? Please let me know.
