First Rays on Crater Lake, OR by srubey
I made this photograph on a chilly January morning in 2014, after snowshoeing along the crater rim and camping out the night before. A recent storm had dumped fresh powder across the area. The park ranger informed me that I was one of two people camped out in the entire National Park backcountry that evening…the silence was indicative of the solitude.

A unique look at Wizard Island as a snowstorm rolls in over Crater Lake, Oregon. I reprocessed this old favorite of mine, which was in dire need of a tonal overhaul. Believe it or not, this was taken in late May a few years back. The snowpack was still so high that I was able to stand up above these trees and use them to frame the island – during the summer, they completely obscure your view of the lake! I can only hope the Pacific Northwest sees another winter like that one again.
I’d like to take this opportunity to announce one of two new upcoming workshops for next year, albeit unrelated to the image at hand: Alex Mody and I will be leading our Ultimate Northwest Tour in April 2016, covering the rugged coastlines, rainforests, waterfalls, and wildflower plateaus of Olympic National Park, Washington and the Columbia River Gorge, Oregon.

Crater Lake Milky Way by frank_delargy
Crater Lake
Milky Way over Crater Lake in Oregon. This is a reprocess of an image I did in May. This is a panorama of 21 merged images, 3 rows of 7 images. It is impossible to imagine the scale but with my wide angle lens I was only able to get the island (Wizard Island) in one frame.
This was at 3 AM just as the bright moon set. The moon was so bright that you could not see the milky way until the moon set. I then had about an hour before the sky would start to lighten and the milky way would disappear again.
It took about 20 minutes to take all of the exposures. Each exposure was 30 seconds at f/2.8 and ISO 1600. The lowest row was at about 20 mm and the top two rows were at 16 mm.
The green and reddish colored areas just above the crater are from airglow, basically elements, mostly nitrogen and oxygen, whose electrons having been ionized by the sun during the day now recombining with their host atoms. The green and the red are from oxygen atoms that are glowing. At first I thought it might be camera noise but then I could see that the light was actually reflected in the lake.

Oxygen Giver by eyeofalens

Something completely different from near Crater Lake somewhere .
Cant ever remember what the falls were called? but just stopped for some lunch & as there was no one around I hanged around for a while & enjoyed the Oxygen & fresh air in this pristine environment. Was about to head down when I looked back up & saw a glimpse of the sun coming from behind on what was a grey & wet day, so quickly calculated where I hopefully needed to be in order for the sun to peak through behind me.
On the way out, I happened to notice there was an FBI poster posted on the toilet block picnic area looking for some scumbag! …last seen somewhere near here.
yes there is some CA on the far left trees up high above me..I got rid of most of it.
