Recently I have had an old photo of one of my sister's dogs get some recognition by the people at Photographic Platform (www.photographicplatform.com). The photo as submitted had slight crop, mostly because the original has some distractions around the edges. I personally I have enjoy the distractions, it gives the photo a certain WPA era feel. Or at least that's what I think when I look at it. One suggestion I received was to tighten the crop further. So I gave it a go, and focus really becomes Lucy's eyes. Still I think I prefer the original, recycle bins and all.

The Ramussen Family Part II

2011-09-22T23:14:00.000-07:00

As mentioned I photographed the Ramussen kids a while back. Most of the shoot was done at the Snoqualmie Depot and at Sandy Cove Park on the banks of the Snoqualmie River in downtown Snoqualmie. The angle of the late summer sun and trees made Sandy Cove Park an especially nice place to shoot. So, here are a few more photos from that shoot.

This last weekend, I had the opportunity to spend some time photographing the Rasmussens. Well mostly the kids. It was a beautiful late summer evening in the upper Snoqualmie Valley, and light was magnificent. I'll post more photos in the coming days.

Japanese Garden

2010-11-21T20:07:00.000-08:00

At the end of October I had the opportunity to photograph the Japanese Garden at Washington Park in Seattle. It was a rather rainy Saturday morning but it was well worth the soaking. The colors were truly amazing even on a dark and gloomy day. Here are a hand full of shots from that day.

Baby Jaeger

Recently, I had the opportunity to photography a very young baby. It was a challenge, mostly due to the lighting limitations, but it was a lot of fun. The photos turned out great.

Rattlesnake Sunset

A few days ago I was lucky enough to wander by Rattlesnake Lake right about sunset. It was a lovely sight, especially after all the rain we have had lately. Enjoy the photos.

Last Sunday I had the pleasure of photographing some friends and family while enjoying the annual trip to the pumpkin patch. This year we went to Bob's outside Monroe, it was fun for all and I got some nice photos too. To see additional photos go to the Rustedvan Photography Facebook page (link at the bottom of the page).

Elk of the Meadowbrook Farm

2009-09-25T22:15:00.000-07:00

As previously mentioned spent the last summer going out to the Meadowbrook Farm to check out the Elk and the other goings on, but mostly the elk. These outings made me feel that I'm lucky to live where I do.

Now that summer has moved on, I have compiled some of my favorite photos of our neighborhood herbivores.

I hope you enjoy them,

Enjoy the photos.

As mentioned previously I have been going out to the Meadowbrook Farm here in North Bend, almost daily to photograph the Elk, the sunsets, Mount Si and a trio of old tractors. Here are a few more photographs from last month's outings. In the coming days I will be submitting for viewing, photographs of each individual aspect of my Meadowbrook excursions.

Meadowbrook Farm

2009-06-09T22:21:00.000-07:00

Now that the weather has turned toward the better and the Elk have returned to the Meadowbrook Farm I have been spending evenings watching the Elk and the sunsets. It's quite nice really, so here are a few photos from those outings.

Please check back often, to see what is new at Rustedvan photography, and of course, remember I'm for hire and my prices are still almost (if not) free!

New Lens

2009-03-14T21:31:00.000-07:00

I recently purchased a new lens, it is a 14-54 mm f2.8-3.5 with a 67mm filter. The lens arrived a couple of days before our family vacation to the San Diego area, so I took it along to test it out. The results where very satisfying indeed. Here are a couple of photos taken with the new lens.

New Camera

2009-02-08T22:40:00.000-08:00

I recently purchased a new camera, an Olympus e-520. This photo was taken with said camera, it a detail of our 1960 Comet.

The Froelich Family

2009-01-28T21:17:00.000-08:00

Last Sunday I had the opportunity to photograph the Froelich Family, at the Everett train station. What a great building that is, the west and east walls are 3 stories of glass, so the place had some great nature light.

As for the Froelich's there were 13 present plus two Williams', and they were all a pleasure to photograph. It was a great time and I believe it came through in the photos.
