Join me at a beautiful, quiet, and glassy pond as I explore the early morning landscape and look for compositions to photograph in black and white.

Love the pond shots, uh, we call those lakes in the pnw, lol and even name them! We have a very similar looking place just up behind me in the Olympics off an old logging road that no one goes to. Don’t you just love those hidden gems?
Enjoyed the bonus video too ! Nice treat.
Thanks for sharing your adventures.
