Good Monday to you all. The post is a little late but that is because we have been running all weekend. Last week while in the Mt Hood area we got out in the morning and were able to get the wonderful shots of Mt Hood glistening in the waters of Trillium Lake.
While there we had run into another photographer that was shooting with a buddy of his. The were nice enough and told us some interesting tid-bits and that we should continue on the road when we were done. He said it was a gravel road but we should have no problem with it. As it turned out there was not a problem to get people to stay.
Well... He was right but the road (below) was twenty miles of hard and rough road. Fortunately due to the slow speed we were able to react to many off road features.
As there were three of us in the truck we decided to put it out that if anyone of us wanted to stop for a photo op we would stop. What it turned out to be was a five second committee decision weather we would stop or not. One such stop is this image below.
The closer to the banks we got, the better we knew the shot was going to be. The shadows are sharp, the river leads you into the photo, there is a massive foreground object, and the sun is eliminating the background. The specs are at 3.2 seconds at f/14 and 40 mm focal length.
Continuing downstream there was another opportunity. This 3.0 second at f/4 shooting at 100 mm gave such a nice soft velvet feel to the running water. With so much quality scenes to shoot it was hard to pick out the ones I wanted to take to post. Being on the laptop I am limited in my production as I do not have Lightroom installed on it.
Over the weekend we were downtown Portland for the Race for the Cure and got some images from that I will post later this week as well as the seashore photos I took today in Newport Oregon.
Take care for now... Doug
