Smile on Saturday’s theme of repetition..
… later….
Oh, dang, I just reread the theme again— I had read it several days ago and got the repetition part in my head!! Sigh!! I got the size and shape part here but not the *color* ……. I’ll bet Maria Godfrida politely asks me to replace this!!

These little flowers just make you take a look at them. 😁. Enjoy your day ... thanks for stopping in.
There are some places that are very iconic. And by that, I mean they are shot by everyone. I actually moved to Oregon mostly because of the, "the" Japanese maple tree in the Portland Japanese Garden. I am not sure that this red barn in the Hood River Fruit Loop is on the same level as "that' maple tree, but for locals, its close. This had been on my list for a long time, but I had but I could never get the timing quite right. This was my year.
I have posted a few from this location. I shot a ton. I honestly shot a ton because I did not like shooting it. That may sound odd, because as a landscape photographer the more blood, sweat, and tears you put into an image the better it is (go look at Hilton Chen's latest post). In this case the location was not dangerous, but you are not supposed to be there. In fact, I found this location from the road. The first night I went to shoot here, I walked up and down the road looking for the iconic location, but I could not find it. As I was standing there roadside, scratching my head, another guy pulled up, parked, got out, and promptly walked into the orchard. Huh? I did not realize that you had to stomp into this poor guys orchard to get the image. I actually thought about going home, but I had been all the way out there a number of times this year waiting for the blooms to be perfect. I felt too invested. That's no excuse, but that is what was going through my head. Well, I will just tread lightly. Into the orchard I went. I felt horrible. Sometimes trespassing is cool, like shooting abandoned military bases. Sometimes, its just not cool. I shot the images and got out as quick as I could, trying to not even leave footprints.
So, enjoy. I don't plan to go back again.
the macromonday theme for today, june 24th, is “Styling Food on a Fork” and in a little bit i'll put a picture of the whole wooden fork in the first comment box. this one maybe my favorite b/c one doesn't generally eat cereal with a fork ~grin~ (although i did just now), so it may be unique in the group pool :)
I have seen this barn called many names. I know because I must have searched about 1,000 different ways to pull up images of this location. When I was there, I tried to shoot it about a dozen different ways. In fact, my wife sat next to me while I did most of my research on this image. She kept saying the same thing over and over- Hood needs to be bigger, Hood needs to be bigger. When I was gearing up to go shoot it she was constantly telling me that I needed the 150-600 lens to make Hood as BIG as possible in the image. Well, she certainly does understand the concepts of compression, I will give her that. I did not take the big lens, but I did take the trusty 70-200 (and a teleconverter in case she was right).
While I was out there I kept hearing her on my shoulder, make Hood bigger, make Hood bigger. So I tried hard to fix the lens at 200 and just walk back, and back, and back to make it work. In the end I did get some shots that made Hood huge in the image. However, such a POV came at a cost- the images were too tight. You had the barn, the huge Hood, and some token blossoms. In an effort to make the wife happy about 75% of my images were shot like this. However, I knew I planned too hard, and made too many trips to Hood River to to walk away without trying other lenses. Good thing too.
The tighter shots did not show context. The barn needed to contrast with the trees to give the feel of a farm, and thus, to justify the existence of the barn.
Funniest part was, my wife agreed. After all that pressure to make Hood big, after I processed a bunch of the images, she liked the wide shots better. What? Gesh. Well, at least we agreed. I posted the tighter version already, this is the wider take. You tell me which you prefer.
Fruit loops: banned in many countries, loved by American kids. But after reading the ingredients for this popular cereal, the Granddaughter won't be getting anymore of them! Great for photography though! LOL (this time I did not eat the props!!) posted for Macro Mondays
On our ride yesterday, a civilized 116km, we took a break in Vernonville at the the general store. Unfortunately it was closed, permanently. Still made for a nice shot of Paul, and Ingrid, two super nice people and great riders.

A group of fishermen trying their luck with the illusive fruit loop fish. No bites so far! The bowl was handmade by a friend and the sunlight really showed off the colors.

Hood River, Oregon.
Pear Orchard in Spring bloom & red barn with Mt Hood in the background captured in late afternoon light. This is last years shot. If you go to this location please be advised this view of Mt Hood with the red barn is on private property. The owners had posted no trespassing signs along the road shortly after I was there last Spring. The Hood River County Fruit Loop is a gorgeous area in the Spring with miles & miles of orchards in bloom so you sill can't go wrong here for photography. I hope everyone enjoys the weekend and thank you for your comments!

I have wanted to photograph this barn for years, but the light was never right when I was there. I caught it in early April just as the sun peeked over the hills to the east, and I had my big lens along to bring it up close.

I had the Twirly Camera out for a spin (see what I did there) in the wee hours of spring, just as the pear blossoms were emerging in the Hood River Valley.

so in my poor little always-cogitating mind, i had been trying to come up with a different way to do this scavenger item.
then- ah, ha- an epiphany- fruit loops as "jewelry".
hungry? you have a snack around your neck ~giggling~

With harvest season approaching, I am ploting more excursions to the Hood River Valley for locally grown fruit. The cameras will be along, of course.

The first two print orders I filled, (with little thank you cards & complimentary gifts up in
the corners!) Very exciting stuff! I took this just before packaging the prints up & sending them off last week. Eek! One went to South Carolina - and the other all the way to the UK!
Sending a shout out to Flickr- sending out some Flickr <3
Oh Flickr how you have given me hours of fun and inspiration... Happy Weekend Everyone & HCS!
A favorite spot I shoot in the springtime along the Fruit Loop, but with a fall twist. I think I like it better! I love the way Mt. Hood looks over his rolling hills of farmland.

My first attempt at multiple camera flashes,
Strobist: One Olympus FL-50 up high above the Fruitloops and one Metz 54MZ-3 camera right with homemade snoot. Both tripped by Pocket Wizard II Plus'. My first "Strobist" attempt. :) I loved it.

Getting out with the ‘Blad last spring while I was gatting the Hood River house ready for sale. I found a little time to take pictures during the ordeal. I miss Hood River. I don’t miss the daily 2-hour commute.

This is from a few years ago. It’s a different angle on the famous red barn in Pine Grove, Oregon, near Hood River.
I’ve never been able to get the classic picture of this barn. You have to trespass to get it, and I tend to respect the property owners’ wishes.
