Spider Rock in Canyon de Chelley AZ. Taken last year during my workshop, we visited overlooks before spending two full days down in the canyon exploring and photographing. A wonderful trip! #photography #landscapephotography #desert #arizona

Silos in the Palouse area of eastern Washington. Not every year do the fields look this good, but when they do, it's a really nice shot. #photography #landscape #palouse #farming

White House Ruins in Canyon de Chelley. The varnish coming down the wall is impressive and helps add to the magnitude of the rock wall. #photography #arizona #blackandwhite #monochrome

Something bright and sunny for you this afternoon. This is the Olympic Peninsula in Washington and sometimes, the sun does shine and when it does it's glorious! #photography #landscapephotography #washington #nationalparks

Sunrise on the Southern Oregon coast at Port Orford. Good morning everyone! #photography #coast #oregon #beach #sunrise

A mountain near Lofoten Norway from a couple years ago during my workshop there. Amazing landscape and wonderful experience in Norway. #landscapephotography #mountains #snow #norway #photography

RUST - always a great subject to play with. Lots of color, texture and stories to tell with it. I'm working on my second book of rust and hope to have that done before summer. Can't wait. #photography #rust #chain

After the sun goes down, I love shooting abstracts on the beach. Soft light, pastel colors...so much fun! This shot is from the Bandon area along the Oregon Coast. #photography #landscapephotography #oregon #oregoncoast

Starting to take a second pass through my Katmai NP folder from Sept 2025. Lots of gems still left to mine in here from another unbelievable trip. I'm heading back in July 2027 with a small group. if you've ever wanted to visit, this could be your trip. #photography #grizzly #wildlife

Alsea Bay Bridge in Waldport Oregon. Driving up the coast in the afternoon, there was some really nice warm light on the bridge and together with the channel of water, I thought made for a nice shot. #oregon #photography #oregoncoast #bridges #waldport

One of my shots from a recent trip to a fishing harbor. Such fun and great exercises to "see" differently. I did a whole video on this on my YouTube channel. www.youtube.com/@JohnPederse... #photography #rust #creativity #chains

The tranquility of walking a forest path....ahhhhhh. Hope everyone has a great weekend! #photography #landscapephotography #forest

Just released my latest video on YouTube, photographing one of my fav places for improving my vision and graphic design skills...a fishing harbor. check it out! youtu.be/dC4l1z9wWnk?.... #photography #landscapephotography #creative #artistic

The end of sunset along the Oregon Coast last week. It was a glorious night...much different than this week with snow on the beach one morning. #landscapephotography #Oregon #oregoncoast #sunset

Peace and tranquility on the Oregon Coast last week. Couldn't believe the great weather and conditions for sunset at Seal Rock. #sunset #oregon #beach #photography #landscapephotography #beachphotography

The rookery at Seal Rock along the Oregon Coast. Home to a great variety of birds as well as being very picturesque. Had a great evening last week on the beach shooting the ocean and surrounding area. #oregon #oregoncoast #photography #beach #ocean #sunset

Seal Rock Sunstar - Unseasonably nice weather along the Oregon Coast in February made for a great evening on the beach for sunset! #photography #oregon #oregoncoast #sunset #ocean #beach

A mix of materials produces different visual effects. Here from a chain/crab pot along the Oregon Coast. #photography

I had stopped at Seal Rock to shoot sunset on my way home as I was walking to where I wanted to photograph, I looked down and saw this crab shell and subtle shapes in the sand. It instantly grabbed my attention so I spent a few minutes with this before I moved on toward my intended location.

Trolling around the fishing harbor in Newport Oregon, there is so much pattern/shape/texture and color to experiment with. Hours of creative fun and challenges! #photography #yellow

Sol Duc Falls in the Olympic N.P. Such a beautiful place to visit! I'm heading there in April with a small group of photogs to capture the diversity and power of nature. johnpedersenphoto.com #landscapephotography #nature #waterfall #washington

Just a flower. This was shot handheld with a macro lens along the Oregon coast a couple of years ago. Still an enjoyable image for me. #photography #flower #nature

Sunrise in Newport Oregon a few weeks ago was something special. Hard to believe that this was mid-January! #photography #sunrise #fishing #oregon #newport

Just posted my latest video of a sunset photo shoot along the Oregon Coast in crazy mid-winter conditions. Sunny and warm! A great night that produced some good images. Check it out! youtu.be/dDMVfHojzgM

Pinecone in Winter. Grand Teton NP. This one tree, every year, has pinecones on it and I always stop to shoot a few close-ups during my workshop there. I love the contradiction between the cone and the snow....it resonates with me. #photography #winter #tree #nature

Pathway along Cape Perpetua on the Oregon Coast. High above the ocean, this forest sanctuary is a place to soak up the green and enjoy a lush PNW forest. johnpedersenphoto.com/event/intima.... #photography #landscapephotography #oregon #oregoncoast

Sunrise in the Palouse! I've got two workshops there this year, one already sold out. I can't wait to get back to this beautiful landscape. #landscapephotography #sunrise #washington #wheat #pretty

The graphical design of an arch in Monument Valley AZ. Besides the natural beauty of the location and the scene, I chose to narrow my vision and look at the design aspect of this natural occurrence. #photography #landscapephotography #desert

Reflections along the waterline of a boat moored in the harbor. Simple, yet alot going on, these kinds of shots can be a lot of fun to play with. #photography #reflection #water

A mixture of textures and patterns on the docks in Newport OR. It's fun to play with a mixture of patterns, or colors, or shapes, or textures and work to put them together into a pleasing comp. That's why I love working areas like this. A fun and creatively energizing morning! #photography

Cabin along Mormon Row in Grand Teton NP during my winter photo workshop there. Each year I look forward to visiting this area and each year it doesn't disappoint. #landscapephotography #nationalparks #wyoming #mountains #clouds

Sunset along the Oregon Coast last weekend. Hard to believe this weather. This is from one of my favorite beaches south of Yachats. I'm working on a video from the evening, so stay tuned to my YouTube channel for its release. #landscapephotography #beach #Oregon #sunset

An oldie but a goodie from past years in the slot canyons. Nowadays it's difficult to visit and shoot there due to the number of people being pushed through the area. Glad I was able to visit when I could. #photography #desert #arizona #landscapephotography

I captured this in Grand Teton N.P. this past December. It is a piece of sage upside down in a thermal pool. I was struck by the minimalism and the tonality of the water, how it went from light above to very dark below. #photography #minimalism #nature #blue

I just posted our latest podcast with the wonderful Brenda Tharp. We had a great conversation talking about her, the creative process along with lots of other fun things. It was great to finally get Brenda on our show! Available in audio only on WeTalkPhoto.com youtu.be/gdsbwqSy1jQ?...

This bear was munching on a salmon and all of a sudden it stopped and looked at us, with this almost disgusted look on its face, like it was not happy we were watching it eat. Funny in the moment! #alaska #wildlifephotography #bear #photography

Berg Stripes - Blue veins and cracks in the ice of this giant iceberg in a fjord in Greenland. This shot for me was more about shape and design than of the actual iceberg. #greenland #photography #landscapephotography #iceberg

Moose Tongue - Caught this fellow licking his lips after munching on some grass in Grand Teton NP. Great angle of the light when we found this herd of bull moose. #moose #photography #wildlife #nationalparks #grandteton

Icebergs and wooden ships on the calm waters in the fjord system of Greenland. I am still working through my images, over a year later, pulling out some favorites. It's a trip that will be with me forever. #photography #greenland #iceberg

Sailing on a wooden boat through the icebergs of Greenland was a magical experience and one I'll never forget. Wild, raw, untamed, humbling...so many words to describe the land and the experience. #photography #landscapephotography #greenland #iceberg

I loved the alternating layers of ice and land and is what drew me to shoot this...though it was challenging to do so from a moving zodiac. Shot in Greenland...an amazing landscape! #photography #greenland #landscapephotography #iceberg

Just two folks enjoying the golden light on the Oregon Coast. #photography

Walking along the beach amongst some rocks, I stopped and worked for a bit on the patterns/shapes/cracks in this rock. Fun times. #photography

Mt Moran from Oxbow Bend Grabnd Teton np. #photography #landscapephotography

Strong winds blowing the tops off of the waves in Yachats Oregon yesterday. Thought I'd play with Monochrome and I was pleased with the results. #photography #ocean #oregon

This ain’t right. Mid-January on the Oregon coast should be cold n gray. Instead it’s sunny n 64 degrees!

Spouting horn is spouting in Yachats Oregon. #oregoncoast

Hanging at the Oregon coast this weekend. Time with the ocean is healing, restorative and relaxing. Looking forward to some quality time this weekend. #photography #landscapephotography #oregoncoast

I have dozens, many dozens, of more photographs to process from my Greenland trip last year. What an amazing landscape! Can't wait to get back there later this year. #photography #landscapephotography #greenland #iceberg

A quintessential scene from the Palouse in Eastern Washington! I have two workshops planned in 2026 and can't wait to get up there again. #photography #landscapephotography #washington #palouse
