Hike to Seven Falls

This Past Wednesday I went on a fairly-spur-of-the-moment hike up to Seven Falls with my friend Derrek.  I had never been there before and thoroughly enjoyed the hike.  The creek was really rushing right now from all the moisture we have had; which made for a beautiful trip.

Numerous times we had to remove our shoes and wade through the water as the creek was exceptionally high.

I was a little more cautious about the jumping the creek then Derrek was as I was carrying a camera backpack full of gear (and didn't want to fall in with it)



Bear Canyon

On one hand; I am glad Derrek made it across without getting wet.  On the other hand though; it would have made for an interesting picture if he hadn't.  I obviously waded this one as it was a little far to risk.

Derrek took this picture of me about the cross over onto the rock.  He also captured one of me hanging onto a small tree that's about to bend and dump me in the creek (I didn't fall in).  Unfortunately it came out blurry

Seven Falls

I would love to do a sunrise shoot at Seven falls as it would provide for some exceptional light.  The only problem is finding somebody who would want to hike the four miles up the trail with me in the dark to get there at dawn.  I realize some people might do this by themselves... I'm not one of those people.

Thanks for Looking,
Robert

Website Update

When I first launched my website back in early 2008; it was an eclectic mix of commercial and personal work.

 www.robertwilson.us - March of 2008

My website has become a lot more focused and refined over the last two years as I continue to grow photographically.  Through this process though my personal work slowly got pushed off the website until their was nothing left.  Over the past couple days I have been creating a sister site as a way to make some of this work available to the world.  Fine Art prints are available most of the images, as well as the Wallpapers I post here every month.

All prints are mounted and coated with a protective finish
8x10 - $20
16x20 - $50
20x30 - $90
34x40 - $180

I have also recently broken down my wedding pricing to make it a little easier for prospective brides.  I went from one customizable packed to 3 customizable packages.  I know it sounds more complicated, but my hope is that it will be easier for brides to find their starting point as to what they are looking for.

All session include a DVD of High-Res images and full copyright release.

Complete wedding day coverage, second photographer, complimentary engagement session, 12 professionally retouched images and one 20x30 wall portrait

February Wallpaper of the Month

Just before sunset this past Wednesday the overcast sky lit up as the sun peeked through a sliver in the clouds.  If you were to look the opposite direction you would have caught a beautiful full rainbow.  All this lasted maybe five minutes at most before the sun set behind the clouds and everything returned to the cool grey that it was.

Thank you for looking!
