The rainy season is upon us and it’s the perfect time to catch up on long-overdue writing. In spring of 2019 I went to our sister rainforest in the Olympic Peninsula to attend this photography workshop. I couldn’t have been more thrilled. Yes, even in my spare time I enjoy photography so much that I’m happy to travel and learn from those more experienced than I. I was certainly not disappointed!

Sol Duc Falls Olympic Peninsula

Due to my spending too much time at the stream and forest area, I nearly forgot to walk to the actual falls. I’m glad I did though! By the time I arrived, everyone else had already left, so I had the place to myself for which I am glad. Sometimes being late has it’s advantages! And hey, no one could argue with me getting carried away taking pictures…

Sunset at Second Beach

What a magical place this was, with the setting sun, the hole in the rock, and when you waited long enough, clear reflections started to show up in the wet sand. As you can imagine, there were many photographers here taking exactly the same picture, so we had to take turns going to the front of the pack to get shots with no one in them. Definitely one of those “this is what you think it’s like” vs “this is what it’s actually like” situations.

The following are just a few more images from the trip that I really liked. Some of them you will see on my Instagram account, others you can just find here. They are from the Sol Duc Falls area and the Hoh Rainforest. To see more of my travel and landscape photography click here.
