On Tuesday December 7, 2015 I stopped by the South Waterfront Greenway park to watch the Christmas Ships on their way up river to Milwaukie. The ships were quite spread out as they came by this stretch of river so I've simply overlaid six photos to create this "multiple exposure" mash-up of the ships as seen from this location. On Wednesday night the winds were so strong that the ships never left the Riverplace Marina… NB42044,49,53,56,61,65

Part of a series of iPhone ScanCamera slit-scans of the carnival amusement thrill ride called the Zipper. Here the slit was moving: BottomTop, LeftRight, TopBottom. I like how ScanCamera and OverCam allow you to capture long exposure effects day or night that are wonderfully different from those taken using long exposures with a camera. Cinco de Mayo, Portland, OR i6s+5193,87,91
I was too tired to leave home, but with clear skies and temps in low 70s to upper 60s it was also too hard to pass up setting up the camera and a lounge chair on the back patio to see how many meteors I might capture or see from here in town. After doing some test exposures settled on using ISO 400 (higher ISOs simply washed out the sky and added noise), f2.8, 30sec exposures; then locked down the bulb setting to make the camera take photos continuously only to discover that the camera stopped after 100 exposures well before the battery ran down or card filled up; but simply restarting the locked down bulb mode got the camera to take another sequence of 100 exposures. Between nodding off and restarting the camera only managed capture about 360 exposures between 11:30PM and 4AM, of which only three captured a meteor; visually I only saw about a dozen even though I estimate I was awake for about half time.
Despite its smooth appearance this meteor streak is not an iridium flare. According to heavens-above both of the two closest flares were more than an hour away and in different locations in the sky.
Visually the sky and house appeared darker than in the photo above with only the slightest hint of Milky-Way barely visible to the naked eye, so it was a pleasant surprise to see some Milky-Way detail in the photos. In the photo above, besides the Milky-Way and a meteor you can also see: the Big and Little Dippers, Lyra, Cygnus, and The Northern Cross see notes. 30sec, f2.8, ISO400, Nikon10.5mm full frame fisheye.

Inner SE Portland has changed a lot over the past few years, new paint, doors and windows, and plantings have given much of it a fresher look and more friendly feeling, but there are still some businesses behind fences. Most businesses have no room for fencing between them and the sidewalk and most of them don't have bars on the windows or doors either, but given that fencing has a cost, I'm guessing that many fences were put up after some series of problems occurred at the location and at least here an attempt to soften the fencing has been made using the planting. June 16th SE PDX PhotoWalk P4. NB55282 - Happy Fence Friday!

Despite all the advances in DNA sequencing and manipulation using tools like CRISPR it's good to see some people still taking the older manual techniques like hybridization to new heights so beautifully. Note how well the A and B pillars are aligned in ways you can be certain the original manufacturers didn't foresee. From the Friday July 14th SE PDX PhotoWalk P5; next PdxNightOwls PhotoWalk Friday July 28th. NB56034

7AM Before final cut was made. 9:30AM truss well on its way down at 28' per hour. 12:30PM completion of horizontal lowering phase, tug Stacy has arrived. 1:30PM after West end was lowered further to match the angle of the barge which is tilted to keep the east (left) end clear of the riverbed which was only a few feet below. Next week the west most truss will be cut and removed, with the two center trusses removed in the two weeks after that. Follow the progress live and via time-lapses at Sellwood Bridge webcam page.

of the Tilikum Crossing, Portland, OR Besides the pedestrians and unicyclist see here, there were also bicyclists and cross country skiers (not pictured) out on this day. It was nice to see the river wearing its Winter green instead of the recent floodwater brown it had been most of December. Be there via the full size 1024x3950px panorama. i6s+3944
Some of the coolest improvements of the new Sellwood Bridge are the new connections between it and Powers Marine Park and Willamette Park. Instead of the very narrow path that used to go from the old bridge north along Highway 43 and down to Miles Pl, there is now a 12' wide bike/pedestrian path that parallels the trolley tracks and ends at the resurfaced Miles Pl which leads into Willamette Park where most the riverside paths have also been widened and repaved. And getting to from this new path will be two 12' wide paths, one from the northside of the bridge open now, and one from the south side of the bridge open later this year. See notes on image. i6s+6559,61
