Last weekend, I headed north from Menlo Park to Bend, Oregon – and a photo workshop led by Sean Bagshaw and Zack Schnepf. This image is from our visit to Smith Rock on Saturday evening. A special spot – with some very special clouds that evening.
Sean and Zack are masters at both the outdoors and post-processing images. They’re both very familiar with the luminosity masking approach pioneered by Tony Kuyper. If you have an opportunity, do a workshop with them! Just be prepared – at this time of year – for a couple of long days – up early to leave around 4:15 AM for the morning sunrise and staying up late to catch the evening sunset!
Here are a couple of other images – taken at sunrise Saturday morning (same day) at Dillon Falls along the Deschutes River south of Bend.

That’s an extraordinary image in every way. I look forward to hearing more about how it was made.
Beautiful place and gorgeous picture.
Beautiful work Scott! It was a real pleasure having you join us. I was over in Bend again this last weekend and it was 100 degrees and not a cloud in sight. I love that area in any conditions but we certainly hit it just right. See you again I hope.
