 This week's photographer spotlight illustrates the work of Chip Phillips.

"Vertical Mossy Elowah"                                                                 "Metlako Mist"

Chip Phillips is a landscape photographer from Washington state, who recently found his love for photography in 2006, when his father gave him an old Pentax film camera. Now, Phillips shoots in digital and strives to combine his love of photography and nature.

"North Cascades Sunrise"

"Grand Teton Summer Evening Rays"

"Jasper Sunset"

Phillips's landscapes are breathtaking and are filled with rich, vibrant color and dramatic shadow.

"Barn and Rainbow, Palouse"

"Palouse Storm"

"Mount Stuart Sunburst"                         "Palouse Lupine Rays"               "Southern Oregon Coast Sea Arch"

"Grand Teton Sunset"

Phillips often captures the beautiful light and color of dusk and dawn, the gorgeous reflections on standing water, the fluid movement of running water, and the looming eeriness of heavy fog.
