Photography Blog
Welcome to Gary Randall’s Oregon landscape photography blog.
Welcome to my Oregon landscape photography blog. Here, I share stories, photography tips, and behind-the-scenes experiences from over 20 years in the field. I’ve spent decades capturing the beauty of the Pacific Northwest—from chasing light on Mount Hood to exploring forests and waterfalls in the Columbia River Gorge.
This blog goes beyond just showing finished photos. I share the journey, the decisions behind each shot, and the lessons learned along the way. You’ll find field notes, how-to articles, gear talk, and creative inspiration.
Whether you’re just getting started or have years of experience, there’s something here for you. I write for anyone who loves photography and the natural world.
My goal is to inspire, educate, and connect with others who share this passion. If you’d like to learn more, take a look at my photography workshops or follow along on my latest adventures.
