After so many desert pictures in the recent days I wanted to post something green and while going through my old shots from 2014 I came across this beauty which was taken at Trillium Lake in Oregon just after sunrise. The view of Mt Hood from this location is spectacular especially in the mornings with misty Lake Trillium in the foreground.
I had noticed these three rocks in the lake while we were scouting the location and wanted to use it so badly in a shot. Took this one pretty late during sunrise and the light was coming in strong over the mountain. Hope you all like it happy Friday..

I am currently in Portland, Oregon and truly enjoying landscape photography! I also met a long time flickr friend, David Gn who took me to several great photo spots including this one.

Trillium Lake is one of the best reflection pools for photographing Mt Hood. In fact, I think it’s one of those must-haves for any west coast photographer. We visited this amazing location on a beautiful summer morning hoping to get a stunning sunrise shot. We had to leave our hotel at 4 am to get to the lake in time, thankfully you get stunning views a few feet away from the parking lot. So here I was on a very cold summer morning in front of the lake just like I planned, waiting for the sun to rise when I learned that it was the wrong season. In summer the sun rises and sets in northeast and northwest respectively and I was on the southern shore of a lake looking at a mountain in the north. So basically, the mountain is in the shadows during both golden hours.
I was pretty disappointed but was determined not to show my wife that I messed up the one thing I claim to be good at, planning. So kept myself busy trying to find interesting compositions. Thankfully as the sun rose a bit warm golden light started to filter in through the sides of the mountain and melt the fog above the water providing a surreal landscape scene. I took countless shots here and posted them.
Recently I have been going over these old images and I realized while I have a lot of wide shots, I didn’t have a lit of tight crops of the scene. If I could give my younger self a bit of advice, it would be to use tighter focal lengths on scenes that tempt you to go wide. They have their own unique beauty and the detailed shots are usually not as common as wider shots of grand vistas.

Trillium Lake is a lake situated 7.5 miles (12.1 km) south-southwest of Mount Hood in Oregon. It is formed by a dam at the headwaters of Mud Creek, tributary to the Salmon River. It was created by the state Department of Fish and Wildlife in 1960.
The area which is now the lake was part of the Barlow Road, a component of the Oregon Trail. A log road across marshes allowed immigrants to pass to Summit Meadow, which was a toll station from 1866—1870. Trillium is a genus of flowers particularly noticeable in the area.
The lake is popular for fishing, camping and photography, often clearly reflecting Mount Hood. The lake is a very popular Nordic skiing destination from a trailhead across U.S. Route 26 from Snow Bunny.
So the story with this image. I had been to Trillium Lake 3 times. First time it was loaded with people on the lake. Second time I got there early hoping for good light, which there was, but it was also windy and the reflection wasn't as good. Third time no people and calm across the lake but the sky was nondescript. So I have combined the second visit sky onto the third visit lake.
