April 28 thru May 1st 2011 – I drove down directly from work Thursday evening, I arrived at the Windmill Hotel I-5 exit 125 around 6:30pm. The room was nice but located right next to the stairs. Time will tell if this will be a noisy place. I had my Nikon D700 body, 50f1.4, 105f2.8 [...]

Apr 16, 2011 – I headed out about 10am from home and the weather looked dry.  By the time I was rolling past I-84 Exit 28 the rains where coming down.  I pressed on as the falls is 290 feet long.  I couldn’t wait to see it.  Hiking the Columbia Gorge calls this hike easy.  [...]

April 09, 2011 – I had contacted Chris Oertell of Portland Image Makers to see if he wanted to do some wildlife shooting on saturday.  He was down for it and setup a meetup.com short notice meetup.  Several others from the group joined us but instead of Fernwood, we went to Sauvie’s Island.  Most of [...]

April 2, 2011 I made a trip out to Wahcella Falls, Oregon.  I met Craig Clark and Sharon Menke at the Trail Head.  This was to be a meetup.com group outing but the weather wasn’t the greatest and it was rescheduled.  The three of us decided to make the trek anyway. I had to scramble [...]

This took me a while but I went from no flash and direct light and slow exposure to no light bounce flash and relatively fast exposure. I use a foam board behind and to get the steam organized I played around with the stove fan located out of picture and to the left. The burner [...]

This photo was taken in my kitchen. It was my first attempt at something artistist. I liked how the shadow curves under the fork. This was taken with my D200 70-300mm, f16, ISO400  The exposure time was 13 seconds.  The light is coming from two in ceiling spots from the left. I think next time [...]

Below is a shot I took with my Nikon D200 and AF-S 50mm f1.4.  I just started getting into photography and I have a lot to learn.  I took this sitting on the ground to the right side of the court.  I like this shot because it shows vertical height, is relatively sharp, and has [...]
