The Two Portlands



This was an intersting day when these two photos where shot. The photo of Mt. Hood was taken by my wife while on her annual trip to Poirtland OR. The waterfront photo was taken by yours truely while in Portland ME. Go figure, two Portland's on the same day. We were bot using point and shoot cameras in the 5-7 megapixel range. They were both worked on (very mildly) in Photoshop, tweeking the richness of the blues and sharpening slightly. The rules were thrown out the window for Mt. Hood but with the majesty of the view and the reflection in the lake, the horizon had to be centered for semitry' sake.

We were separated by an entire country and we got these two really cool shots. I am a little envious as I think my wifes photo is better than mine, but after all... It is Mt. Hood.

Next year my brother-in-law and I both plan on going west with the gals to capture some really cool landscapes in the Pacific Northwest.

All for now!
