Coiba Adventure

Coiba Adventure

Finally I am back after a month long trip to Coiba, Panama. The Marlin Bite was a bit slow, but we filled our freezers with Tuna and enjoyed amazing Lighting Storms, saw huge pods of Sperm Whales, fished in some massive bait balls of Tuna and most importantly all of the crew didn't kill each other after 25 Day's together.

Here are some of the images that I got while out on the water every day. We had a mixture of groups fish with us , check out some of the pictures below!!!

Bitterroot Valley Rain Storm

Storms come and go quickly in the Bitterroot Valley. I took some shots the other day of a very quick moving rain storm that came over the mountain range from Idaho and disappeared just as quick as it started. I shot the images on a Nikon D700 with a ND Fader filter and a Graduated Orange Cokin filter on the most of the images.

This is what the Valley looked like about 20 minutes before the Rain Cloud's came streaking over the Bitterroot Mt. Range. Shot taken in Stevensville, MT.

 

Used a Cokin Filter and a Gradated Filter because the sky was pretty bright. The rain came across the mountains very quickly.

 Another angle of that Raining going through the valley.

Ronan Trading Post

Yesterday I headed out to Ronan, MT to go to a very small and very cute Trading Post. The store had all sorts of Native American Jewellery to Old Hudson Bay Boxes and more. The landscape shots where taken out of the car window, due to the massive rain shower that engulfed the whole area.  

Shot through the front window of the car with a hand held Orange Graduated Cokin Filter.

 

 

The rain shower closing in on us.

 

I hand held a Cokin graduated orange filter and shot through the window of the car, therefore getting some rainbow effect on the small lake.

 

Pretty dark out now because of the clouds.

 

Entrence to the Trading post just outside of Ronan.

 

The boys leading the way. Shot with a Polarizer filter on (didn't really need it). It was sprinkling at this point and I just didn't want to remove it.

 

 

Trading Post!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All the shots where taken with a Nikon D700 17-35mm 2.8 lens and a polarizer filter and sometimes a Cokin Filter.  Everything was edited in Photoshop CS6 and I always always use camera RAW even with my JPEGS.  Its nice to just get out and click away for fun sometimes.
