This is one of my favorite areas in the country. It’s along the Columbia River in Klickitat County in Southern Washington. It’s in the rainshadow created by the Cascade Mountains, and has a semi-arid climate. It’s beautiful, rugged, and stark.

I took the Twirly Camera out to the Zigzag River a couple of weeks ago, and made a 1.5 second exposure on a bridge at the Paradise Park Trailhead. The sun was almost shining, as it sometimes does in the pacific northwest, and a little dappled light flitted among the branches. I almost destroyed the film when I opened the camera back, thinking that I had used the last picture, but had not, then I almost destroyed it while loading it on the reel in the darkroom, and then almost destroyed it by forgetting which step I was on while developing it. I got two usable pictures out of 6. That's a 1/3 success. I'll take it.

 

Camera: Noblex 06/150

Film: Kodak T-Max 100 developed in D76.

The maiden voyage of my new (old) Fujifilm GSW690III camera. I traveled to Sisters, Oregon with family, and stopped at this Crooked River overlook along the way. I had not been there since the mid 1990's. It was still just as spectacular, and the rusty, old car was still at the bottom of the ravine. A good time was had by all.

 

Camera: Fujifilm GSW690III

Lens: 65mm Fujinon

Film: Ilford HP5+ developed in Rodinal.

I was in the Salmon-Huckleberry Wilderness earlier in January. It was a miserable, rainy day: the kind of day that grows the moss you see everywhere in this picture. I overexposed this one, or, more truthfully, I let the camera overexpose it. I started to make it look like it actually did on that day, but I decided that I like this better.

It was raining, but I had an umbrella. Too many cars were passing by for me to set the tripod up in the center of the road, like I wanted to, so I made a car part of the picture. The light trails remind me of the Enterprise goint to warp speed.

This may actually be in the mythical town of Ortley, Oregon, but it’s close to The Dalles. I saw these flowers gone to seed next to the road, and decided that infrared was the way to go.

The third picture in my Lensbaby series for downtown Troutdale, Oregon. This is with the Twist 60, but ut was stopped down to F8, so the swirly bokeh is at a minimum. There is a difinite sharp spon in the middle, and the bokeh extends out in all directions from there.

 

Please remember local businesses in this hoiday season. They need your help more than Amazon does.

This was my first hike up to Upper McCord Creek Falls in a few years. I was rather surprised to have made it up there because the trail is suppoed to be closed. I was going to hike until I saw the barrier erected to close the trail (usually caution tape), but I never saw one. It's a steep trail. My heart rate was up to 140 BPM about 3/4 of the way up. I bought an Apple watch so I can keep track of things like that. I'm undergoing a process I call"debasketballification", which means "losing weight". Strenuous hikes are good for that.

 

The underbrush that has grown since the Eagle Creek Fire has blocked every place to set up a tripod near this waterfall, so I had to hold the camera over my head, and hope that I framed it right when I fired the shutter. Maybe in a few years, the stronger trees will have eliminated the competition enough to get a better view, and a longer exposure.

 

Camera: Nikon D810

Lens: 28mm Zeiss Distagon ZF2.

This is from last April. We were out in the Columbia Gorge for some pictures. The clouds were dense, but there was clearing on the horizon. It was one of those rare days when the river was still, mirror-like, except for the occasion bird landing, or salmon jumping. I do miss living in the Gorge.

After almost 24 years in a negative binder, I got this one out today. I wanted to see what I could do with it. The proof sheet looks bad. I thought that the picture had a large amount of lens flare at the top, so I never touched it. Today, I wanted to try something new. I scanned a light version and a dark version, and put them together as a HDR in Lightroom to see if I could eliminate enough of the flare to make a go of presenting it. When I looked at the results, I realized that it had just been a terrible proof sheet.

 

I then edited two versions: the HDR version and the darker version. I like the softness of the foggy area on the non-HDR version, so I scrapped the experiment, and when with the straight scan.

We drove out to Mosier to visit Idiot's Grace Winery (that's its real name) where we are wine club members. We took the long way there by turning onto the Historic Columbia River Highway from the Rowena exit from I-84 and zigzagging up to the Crest, and back down to Mosier. The light was effervescent.

 

I took some slides with the Hasselblad while I was there. Coiuld be interesting.

Rain is back in the Columbia Gorge a little early this year. It did not make it to Hood River, but I got rained on at Cascade Locks. The West could use a good soaking this year.

 

On the left is Saint Peter's Dome. It's a rock pinacle revealed by the Missoula Floods thousands of years ago. You can also see dome of the damage left by the Eagle Creek Fire of 2017.

I was testing out a zoom lens from Blue Moon. I did not ultimately buy it, but it did take good pictures. It's a 35-70mm Nikon Zoom from the late 80's that was in remarkably good condition. It had a few strikes aganst it, though. One was that the zoom was reverse of the normal action. the longest focal length was where the lens was shortest actual length, which I did not think was possible. Also, the macro setting was at 35mm only. I prefer it to be at longer focal lengths. Still, it was not bad for the age.

 

Portland certainly has some beatuiful bridges.

Sometimes, a sunset is so good that the foreground is immaterial. Sure, I won't trying to sell this picture, but it was one for the record books. I tried for a long time to fing a proper place to take the picture, but I was afraid that I would lose it, so I stopped along the road, and took this one. If the scene had allowed, I would have used a wider angle, and gotten more of it. Alas.

This is from this past spring. Since I was preparing to move out of the Columbia Gorge, I made every effort to get out to the high elevations near Rowena Crest to photograph the wildflowers. I wanted to get out early to catch the good light.

The Toothrock Tunnel on I-84 in the Columbia Gorge as seen through my windshield a few weeks ago. The infrared camera sees through glass like nothing else.

 

Above is a segment of the Historic Columbia River Highway that was bypassed with this tunnel in the 30's, and then the tunnel was used for I-84 in the 1960's.

I had been meaning to get a picture of this spot on the Washington side of the Columbia Gorge. I think it’s Wind Mountain. I used a little Orton Effect to liven things up.

Pandemic Apocalypse Photo Expedition into the neighborhood. I did this because I can’t go anywhere else. Seeing the world through a narrower field of vision can be kind of like writing a sonnet. Poets say (I have called myself a poet in the past, but I haven’t written many since college) that the rigid structure of a sonnet can bring out greater creativity because it forces one to think in different ways. I used the limits of the field of vision of the lems to edit out the houses on either side, to make it look like it’s not in suburbia.

This is from the Spring of 2019. I missed this past Spring in the Gorge due to the Covid-19 crisis. Next year I hope to get out there during wildflower season.

 

I played with this image a bit.

Boyd, Oregon is is evident only by the road that bears its name. Boyd unincorporated in 1955, but was a stagecoach stop when such a thing was a going concern. This is what I have heard is called the Boyd Mill, which is along Fifteenmile Creek near The Dalles. Gaia and I came across it one Autumn evening near dusk. The cameras just had to come out.

Gaia and I spent a pleasant evening spent on the Oregon Coast recently. We were chasing a sunset in the Depoe Bay area, and drove into a place I used to go to quite often, but haven’t been to in almost a decade: Cape Foulweather. For most of the year, it lives up to its name.

 

I posted a black and white shot from this spot about a decade ago, which was taken in the mid 1990’s. I sometimes recreate older images to see how my technique has improved.

This past June, Gaia and I were out for a stroll on on the Mosier end of the Twin Tunnels Trail, which is part of the Historic Columbia River Highway State Trail. It’s an extremely beautiful area.
