I am proud to announce that I will soon be releasing a new fine art photograph of beautiful “Hosmer Lake” near my hometown of Bend, Oregon. I’ve been to Hosmer Lake countless times in the past for photography and for recreational purposes.  Hosmer Lake is visually stunning but difficult to photograph.

Hosmer Lake offers wonderful views of South Sister, Broken Top, and Mt. Bachelor, which is pictured in the photograph seen above.  Because of the  short bloom season for wildflowers along Hosmer Lake, it has taken me a few years of persistence to capture a photograph of Hosmer Lake which appropriately honors this wonderful lake along Central Oregon’s Cascade Lakes Highway.  I plan on offering both vertical(seen above) and horizontal( seen below) versions of this image as fine art prints.   I spent several consecutive outings being exsanguinated by hordes of mosquitoes in an effort to capture some wonderful light  long with alpine heather at full bloom.  The detail of the alpine heather will be exceptional, making a worthy foreground for Oregon’s favorite ski mountain and one of Oregon’s most beautiful Lakes, Hosmer Lake.

Hosmer is a crystal clear yet shallow Lake.  It is located at approximately 5,000 ft of elevation and is near to Elk Lake and the larger and more well known, Sparks Lake Print.  Hosmer Lake is stocked with a healthy population of Atlantic salmon and is has huge yet finicky Brook Trout.  Hosmer is nearly 600 acres in size and has a maximum depth of about 12 feet.  I hope you enjoy my latest attempt to capture a fine art photograph of Hosmer Lake.

Thanks for Visiting,

Mike
