The Next Great Oregon Mountain Image?

I recently went out on a morning Landscape photography shoot with good friend, Old Mike Croxford and we had some stunning scenery.  I’m still waiting for the large format images from that morning to get back from processing  but I’m very excited about the potential of those big beautiful transparencies.  Below is a digital shot that I captured that morning.  Imagine this image blown up to 50 inches across and you’ll understand why I’m excited to get my 4×5 large format transparencies back from my developers!

Oregon's Mount Washington in Autumn with fresh fallen snow.

To read my account of that morning’s shoot, please follow this link about Oregon photos to our stock photography site.  Oregon Landscape photography.

Don’t worry, I’ll let you know when the transparencies get processed!

Thanks for visiting,

Mike Putnam

Oregon Stock Photos and some great new shots of the Wallowa Mountains

As some of you may know, I am the founder and operator of a small, High end stock photography company based in Bend, Oregon Called Pacific Crest Stock Photography.  We specialize in excellent quality landscape images of Oregon with an emphasis on Central Oregon.  There is a prominent trend in the stock photography world where stock photography businesses are being consolidated into larger collections of lower quality images.  Our business plan dictates that we do just the opposite of that.  We intend to stay small, represent very few photographers and only offer exceptional quality images for licensing.  We love the area we live and adventure in and we only want it represented in the best light possible.  We hope that by offering only high quality images that we will save valuable time for photo editors and photo buyers in their selection process.

As part of our Pacific Crest Stock business, we have also been maintaining a blog which documents our photo adventures where you can find great Central Oregon Photos. Pacific Crest Stock Blog.

My friend and business partner, Troy McMullin recently documented a phenomenal backpacking trip that he and I and our other friends, Jake and Old Mike took to the Wallowa Mountains and the Eagle Cap Wilderness Area in Northeast Oregon.  To read the story and see some great photos, please visit the following link, Wallowa Mountains Photos.  I’ll continue to make fine art updates at this Mike Putnam Photography site, but most of my trip accounts will be documented at our Pacific Crest Stock Blog so if you’d like to keep up with the adventures of Troy and myself, please visit our Pacific Crest Blog and book mark it!
