I have included all of the software/hardware and different cameras, lenses, and tools that I use for photography in the About Me section. It also includes some awesome websites that will help you find great places to shoot.

Currently I am putting together a set of 50 great photography destinations in the Pacific Northwest. All locations are geo-tagged, so you can check them out yourself-----> PACNW Top 50

 

 

The Shot

This shot was taken at the Crown Point Vista House just East of Portland. I highly recommend visiting this location as well as the Women’s Forum which is right down the road and gives a great vantage point of the river and the Vista House and Columbia River Gorge.

 

TIPS

Mixing made man objects and nature is always fun, if done correctly it can look really nice as well. When I post process shots like this I like to focus on natural colors, such as blues and greens. If the sky is blue I also emphasize the colors of blue in the manmade objects to help them blend in with the beautiful landscape. In this picture for example I brought out the blues and the greens in the building along with the blue of the sky to help them all mesh together. Next time you go to process a picture “Google” the phrase “Color Wheel” and allow yourself to use 1 or two of these colors to nicely compliment each other. I will go more in depth on color theory in my next post.

 

Enjoy….
