The weather forecast threatened sunshine east of Hood River, so that's where I went. There was sun, clouds, ranbows, and sudden downpours. One downpour chased me away from this spot hust as I had my new Toyo 4x5 set up. I never got to take the picture, though. Instead, I have this blur-fest from the Lensbaby. I'm still learning how to do the tilts on a small camera. I may have overdone it here, because the sharp spot is at the bottom, instead of where I thought I had put it, which is on the white house in the middle.
Camera: Nikon D810
Lens: Lensbaby Double Glass

This is from a few years ago, back before the Eagle Creek Fire, and the Covid-19 pandemic when someone could roam the Columbia Gorge trails at will. I do miss those days.

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.

Lens: Vintage 20mm Nikkor

Early June in the Columbia Gorge. I adore the geology of this area.

Uploaded better edited version. The color was a bit blocky and oversaturated on the original.

The weekend after 2021's "snow event" saw me out in the Eastern Columbia Gorge to experience some of the only sunshine in the state. By afternoon, however, the storm clouds gathered over Mosier, and the rain came through like a vertical lake. Weather in the Pacific Northwest is known for its ability to accomodate metaphor.

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.

The Lovely Bingen Gap (which I called the "Mosier Gap" for a decade because that's what I first heard it called) on the Columbia River between Oregon and Washington. The Historic Columbia River Highway, and Oregon, is on the left, and Washington is on the right. The wind was everywhere.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
Camera: Nikon D300 (infrared comversion)
Lens: Vintage 20mm Nikkor

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.

The place is called "Dismal Nitch". It was named by the Corps of Discovery led by Lewis and Clark when they were stuck there during a soggy week on the way to the Pacific. It was not so dismal when I took this picture, but I've seen it downright stormy.

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.
Camera: Nikon D300 (infrared conversion)
Lens: Vintage 20mm Nikkor

We leap-frogged a train along Washington’s SR14 on Sunday as it traveled westward toward Stevenson, where it finally outpaced us. Twas a goodly chase.

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.
Camera: Nikon D810
Lens: 24-85mm Nikon-D
