Drove up there to fly fish, just snapped some photos as well. Lovely place, didn't see another person the whole evening but I saw lots of trout. Smile

Mt. Hood in some wheat on the drive up.

fantastic sceneries, poor clarity, contrast , sharpness what I see on all pictures. This place a photographer dream that for sure. It would be nice if you able to visit again with a better lens.

Superb location. I quite like the dreamy focus on the first picture.

Is it just me that turns a little childish when reading the name of the place? Especially the title of the second picture Wink

I think it's pronounced "byoot" creek.

Aside from some soft-focus-mixed-with-acutance on the first photo's wheat field, these are pretty amazing. #3 is my personal favorite. I like the added interest of the human throwing a rock.

Thanks Laughing but still funny in a childish way Wink (I spend all day teaching 4 year olds, it has warped my sense of humour)

The drive home shot is the absolute best picture in the series, the sky makes this shot.

I like the last image as well. Goes to show you don't have to have the
best lens in the world to make good images.

I also really like the fly fishing image, with its feeling of motion. Were you
able to entice any trout to your hook?

What's your pleasure? Very Happy

I'd like to know the camera and lens used for these. Wink

The photos look minimally processed, SOC. Sharpening the first image reveals an incredible amount of detail! Early morning/late afternoon the light isn't so harsh, but long exposures of waterfall look perfect! Smile

I managed to land three cutthroat trout in the 4-8" range using a dry fly, but had probably close to 100 strikes. I'm new to fly fishing so if I was better at it I could have caught many more.

My setup is a Nikon D60 (no metering what-so-ever with a manual lens) with the Vivitar 28mm f2.8 serial 28xxxxxx (Komine made I think?).

The last shot is a 6 or 7 image panorama I just snapped quickly at the side of my car on the drive out.

Very cool on the trout! I love to catch trout in the 6-8 inch size, as they
cook up beautifully. I think that "setting the hook" is the most subtle
and difficult thing to learn. It's almost a "timing" thing, and trying to
get the hook into the trout while it's attacking the fly. At least that is
what has happened to me when I used to fly fish.

Cutthroats are a beautiful species.

Lol at the childish comment by Halli, i thought the same.
Lovely location reminds me of something from the blue lagoon
