Smith Rock Snag
Smith Rock State Park is one of the many destinations that make central Oregon a special place to live and explore. Instead of the common Smith Rock scene shot from the trail with the river below, I wanted one which emphasized the pastel hues of the rock spires and the rugged juniper trees found there. To accentuate colors, I waited until an overcast day and positioned a lichen encrusted juniper snag to create color and textural contrasts. I hope you enjoy my interpretation of this classic central Oregon location.
