I've been to Crater Lake most recently in 2007 and 2008. You can find my impressions and more photos in the Drive 2007 - Day 16 article.

Crazy Lab Colour

This is one of my favourite pictures of the Crater Lake area, and from this trip. The colours of the caldera are spectacular enough to our own eyes, but manage to be even more interesting when you factor in a wider spectrum. The "crazy lab colour" variation is a failed (but in an extremely colourful way) experiment I tried after reading about some other photographers' techniques. I guess it does a good job of highlighting the boundary between sky and landscape, but there are better ways to do that.
