Double Rainbow at Wizard Hat
My wife wakes me up- Dave, there's Blue Sky! So I hike down to the beach, and it looks pretty nice! It is misting slightly, with bold clouds in the background. THEN the sun pops up and the rainbow pops up! I race around trying to get a few angles, and then I fall back to this framing, and that's when I see the double rainbow.
So its NOT the normal, sunset shot most people shoot here.... so don't give up, shoot what you get!
D810 with Tamron 15-30 !@ 15mm. ISO 64, f/22 at 1/3"
But the most fun I have is when I am shooting for myself. When I get an idea, and I go out and chase it and I make it happen. To my mind, it is not the gear that matters, or even one's technical expertise; it is grasping the opportunity to make something new, and the excitement I get when I create.

entry description
This image almost didnt happen. I WENT to Oregon to shoot this specific rock. This was where I wanted to go and what I wanted to shoot. This is typically a sunset shot.... but the evening we arrived, we were socked in. I usually to to get SOMETHING, but it was just hideously ugly! So I went to dinner and to bed.My wife wakes me up- Dave, there's Blue Sky! So I hike down to the beach, and it looks pretty nice! It is misting slightly, with bold clouds in the background.

about the photographer
I have been lucky enough to have been a photographer- a “shooter”- for over thirty years. During that time, I have photographed 5 presidents (the US kind…), three LDS prophets, two Popes and almost a Dalai Lama. I have shot interviews with people from Jack Nicklaus to Joe Montana; from Jimmy Stewart to James Doohan; Johnny Cash to James Paul McCartney. I've flown with the Blue Angels and been inside a space shuttle; I have been extremely lucky.But the most fun I have is when I am shooting for myself.
