"Work Vacation"

Between three photo sessions (engagement, rehearsal, and Wedding) and working on our cabin in the woods (took out log siding and replaced with new cedar siding), my uncle wanted to do some workshop type photography lessons with me. SO we woke up at 3am Seattle time and headed out for the sunrise. We missed a lot of color due to the heavy rains the day before; but the rolling fog in the valleys made for some really dynamic photos!

I haven't been able to touch many, but this was an instant favorite for me:

Reflecting along the river

I couldn't chose which of these black and white stumps I liked better. I am leaning towards the first as its less cluttered. But I do like the layers of reflection and the thin boarder of the bank in the second. 

One Color: BW

These were originally taken in color, and turned into black and white with a yellow filter in photoshop.
