Mt. Hood from Sherrard Point.

If the weather forecasters are right, this weekend is going to be sunny. This sounds like an opportunity to capture some fall colors. Green trees are giving way to red, brown and gold colors. The sunlight is at a lower angle, thus providing more light reflectivity, deep contrasts, and vibrant colors.

Spring, fall and winter are my three favorite seasons to photograph. Spring brings in lush green leaves and colorful flowers. Fall, as I mentioned, brings out the vibrant colors. Winter brings snow-blanketed landscapes, ice formations and the low sunlight brings a warm feeling to a rather frigid place.

Summer is my least favorite time to photograph, at least because the latitude which Oregon sits. The sun almost directly overhead, which reduces reflectivity, creates dull colors and it casts shadows. The only good times to photograph in the summer is around sunrise or sunset.
