Oregon – Day 1 – Portland

It started with a notion that Portland, Oregon would be a nice city to visit.  With the house search happening, the notion was not receiving much commitment nor planning.  But, since the house dealings were all in order and there wasn’t really anything for me to do but wait, Janet… Continue reading

Sunrise

[singlepic id=1551 w=480 float=left] Crater Lake Sunrise with HDR.  Yes, we got up early for this shot which, unless you know the camera is pointed East, is indistinguishable from a Sunset.  Sunrises and sunsets are always kind of a crap-shoot because you have no control over them yet the entire… Continue reading

Phantom Ship

[singlepic id=1550 h=480 float=left] The “Phantom Ship” in Crater Lake… an unnatural combination of three separate photos with some generous tone mapping thrown in for good measure.  Taken as sunset was approaching from the other side of Crater Lake (Wizard Island is just behind the right tree). Picture taken with… Continue reading

Plaikni Falls

[singlepic id=1549 w=480 float=left] The second of the waterfalls we hiked to around Crater Lake – Plaikni Falls.  The first was Vidae Falls, which was more just a stop along the road and, while taller, was not as impressive. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL 18-200mm lens @ 43mm, 0.8… Continue reading

Crater Lake

[singlepic id=1545 w=480 float=left] Crater Lake featuring Wizard Island.  My main PC is down right now, so this one has no adjustments beyond that made by the camera – the water really is that blue (it’s incredibly deep and cold). Picture taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 10-22mm lens @ 22mm, 1/1600 sec,… Continue reading

Multnomah Falls

[singlepic id=1544 h=480 float=left] A second shot of Multnomah Falls looking down from the top.  I like this one mostly because it was an excuse to use the WiFi remote shot feature of the a6000 in combination with an Android phone in order to hold it out over the falls on the… Continue reading
