Redwood National Park Photos
Texture and Delicacy

I love photographing blooming rhododendrons at the base of these massive redwoods, but they aren’t the only composition: this spindly spring sapling provided a composition of delicacy juxtaposed against the textural massiveness of the redwood trunks, and the soft sunlight was an added bonus.

Redwood and Rhododendron
daviddalesphoto posted a photo:
I saw a photo of redwoods with rhododendron at Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park in Gary Crabbe's guide to photographing northern California and it was an inspirational shot for me in planning my trip to Oregon and Redwoods National Park.
So I cruised up and down highway 101 in the rain and got this - handheld from across the highway - not as good, but pleasing anyway.
Of course, there's wild rhododendron in the highway verges where I live - but no giant redwoods!

Trees of Mystery

I haven’t been fortunate with foggy conditions the last couple of trips to the redwoods; this year wasn’t much different, but I spotted a tiny patch of fog lingering off the side of the road at a campground. My husband and I pulled over and followed this constantly moving fog patch into the forest, capturing compositions along the way.

Stout Redwood Grove Sunstar
optimalfocusphotography posted a photo:
I love quiet mornings spent in the Stout Grove in Redwood National Park; even on a Memorial Day weekend, you have this magical location all to yourself. My typical “go-to” composition of tall trees and sunstars, but what can I say, that’s my jam!

Morning Light Kissed Redwoods and Rhododendrons
optimalfocusphotography posted a photo:
Just came back from a relaxing weekend on the northern California coast photographing my beloved redwoods! Memorial Day weekend tends to be a little bit early for the rhododendrons to be in bloom, and this year was no exception. There were a few blooming specimens, however, along the dirt roads of Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, up in the hills overlooking Crescent City. This was taken very early in the morning before sunrise, but just as a hint of warm light began to kiss the trees.

Redwoods

Exciting to be heading back here later this summer. I live in Oregon where we certainly don't suffer from a lack of trees, but the Redwoods are something special.

My New Happy Place
TheNextFifty posted a photo:
I almost didn't walk into the woods... It was raining briskly but it was quiet and I was the only one there, so I thought it a rare opportunity to brave the elements with some of my new water resistant gear. After only about a mile or so into the forest I came upon this wonderful slice of heaven. I probably spent an hour shooting this and only retired when my attempts to keep my lens free of water droplets became almost completely futile. The scene was as quiet and serene as it looks with the small waterfall providing some soothing background noise accompanying the rain gently hitting the ground. This was only the second attempt in post-processing and since this is kind of a tough / busy scene, I am not done yet. I try keep my post-processing minimal but it's also important that the image accurately conveys the beauty and mood of the moment... hope you enjoy!

When I was in the Redwoods NP last time this song was rolling thru my head:
The Cure~
A Forest:
Come closer and see
See into the trees
Find the girl
If you can
Come closer and see
See into the dark
Just follow your eyes
Just follow your eyes
I hear her voice
Calling my name
The sound is deep
In the dark
I hear her voice
And start to run
Into the trees
Into the trees
Into the trees
Suddenly I stop
But I know it's too late
I'm lost in a forest
All alone
The girl was never there
It's always the same
I'm running towards nothing
Again and again and again and again
Redwood Crepuscular Rays
optimalfocusphotography posted a photo:
A tiny patch of fog was lingering off the side of the road in Redwood National and State Parks, so my husband I pulled over, jumped out, and captured some compositions with the filtered light through the trees. Just a short while later, this patch of fog had completely disappeared.

Trillium Falls

Possibly one of the smallest falls I've shot, but full of lush colour and interesting textures. Trillium Falls is located within Redwood National Park in northern California.

Massive old-growth redwood forests are incredibly awe-inspiring. If you've never been, I'd highly recommend a visit!
