Shoot Notes: We spent a week at Lake Simtustus which is just a few miles Bend-ward from Madras, Oregon. It's upstream from Lake Billy Chinook. We were able to find a campsite just feet from the water so we could watch the fish jump and osprey swoop down after them. All in all, it is a great spot for relaxation.
Aside from the pictures labeled, "from the campsite," all of these images were captured from our boat as we trolled along the Lake at 10 miles an hour. My eagle-eyed kids saw the wildlife you see pictured among these images. We were able to, quietly and unobtrusively, get close enough to shoot them, photographically, that is.
I really like the waterfall pictures as well. There was at least a dozen of them! They were taken at 1/10 of a second from the boat as we floated by. The water was extra calm that day so I was able to extend the exposures! All of these images were captured with a Nikon D5100.
