Eighteen Mile Island and Coyote Wall, Columbia Gorge by Gary L. Quay

19

This is from a few years back. I have been trying to photograph this island for years in such a way that it does not blend into the background. I've been doing it unsecessfully, I might add. I like this one anyway.

Red Barn and Blooming Orchard, Spring 2017 by Gary L. Quay

29 2

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.

Lower Lewis River Falls, Washington, October 2024 by Gary L. Quay

198 27

I finally made it to Lower Lewis River Falls in the Fall of 2024. It took so long because it resides in the backwaters of Skamania County, Washington, just beyond the middle of nowhere. Autumn was just getting under way, and some of the leaves were turning gold. Sunlight slanted in from the southwest, and filtered through the forest. It was a nice day for a first time.

I have never done the Cedar Creek Grist Mill in infrared before. We were there today to test out Rollei IR 400 film on a difficult subject, but I did some digitals along the way. For this one, I used my infrared converted D300 and captured one. Next comes developing the film sometime soon.

Bridal Veil Falls, February 2020 by Gary L. Quay

32 6

I was chasing a sun break through the Columbia Gorge, and was not catching up. I decided to consolidate my losses, and get some pictures of the closest waterfall, and then go home. I was taking pictures of Bridal Veil Falls, when I noticed that the color temperature of the scene had changed. I took this picture, and then turned around. A new sun break had broken through the clouds behind me, and it was close enough to sunset that it was brilliant yellow. I packed up my camera, and made it back to the parking lot was quickly as I could. The light was intense through the dark clouds. I headed up to Crown Point, and the light faded just as I was reaching the top.

Well, damn.

Mosier Orchard, Spring 2021, Infrared by Gary L. Quay

24 2

We were in Mosier to photograph the orchards and wildflowers, but the sky was an unpleasing blank, light blue with no clouds, fluffy or otherwise, to give the landscapes some character. Days like that are made for infrared. I like the way the sky turned black in this one.

A Waterfall on the Zigzag River, Rhododendron, Oregon by Gary L. Quay

Seasons of change. Spring and Autumn are interesting for photography. I wasn't able to get out much this fall, so I don't have many pictures to show for it. I always regret missing peak foliage, but it wasn't to be this year. So, I present to you a spring picture earlier this year.

This is the Zigzag River near Mt. Hood.

The Middle of the Road, Dry Creek Canyon Bridge, Oregon by Gary L. Quay

30

I took this in March, just as the 2020 Covid-19 Pandemic was beginning to close the nation down. I used the camera that I have been referring to as the ”Twirly Camera”, because the lens spins on a turret to get the wide angle. It creates some interesting effcts, some of which are welcome. It doesn’t do nearby objects very well, but if you get it just right, objects like the guardrails in this picture will seem to splay out before you. I like it.

I stayed in Ilwaco, Washington in late November in order to be at Cape Disappointment for the King Tide. On my evening walk, I took some pictures of some boats in the marina. I have not had much success doing night photogrphy with a digital camera, however, these turned out pretty good.

Near Sheppard's Dell, Columbia Gorge, Oregon, February 2022 by Gary L. Quay

We had some rare breaks in the cloud cover a couple of weeks ago - not a whole, sunny day, mind you, but entire minutes that weren't gray and brooding. I happened to be out in the Gorge at the time, so I took a few pictures near Sheppard's Dell where I liked the interplay of light, rock, and trees.

Upper Latourell Falls, September 2022 by Gary L. Quay

34

I have begun hiking regularly in the Columbia Gorge after years of sporatic treks. I hiked to Upper Latourell Falls this morning, and developed the film when I got home. It was a film-only hike, just like old times. I did not take the digital camera along, so I was left with my old method of a handheld meter, which would have served me well if I would have let it. I second-guessed the meter, thinking that the scene was 5 stops below full sun. It turns out that it was 7 stops. Luckily, I bracketed. This was an 11-second exposure.

Camera: Hasselblad 500CM

Lens: 50mm Zeiss Distagon with compendium shade and a yellow # 12 Wratten filter.

Dead Point Creek, Dee, Oregon, February 2021 by Gary L. Quay

35 6

I was out in the Hood River area a few weeks ago, searching for the right light, and something to point my cameras at. I managed one of those things, and the right light was not one of them. So, I made due, and got out the Twirly Camera at Dead Point Creek near Hood River, Oregon. I was using very slow film, and it was dark. The slowest shutter speed on a Noblex is 1/15th sec. To get longer exposures, you have to put it on Manual, and keep that lens turret spinning until you have the right time. In this case, the lens spun around 45 times.

Camera: Noblex 06/150

I was in Bend in July for the Bend Summer Festival where I took part as a vendor, and I managed to make some stops on the way home.

Starvation Creek Falls, Summer 2017 by Gary L. Quay

24

I like Starvation Creek Falls. I have attempted to capture it properly for years. I think I have come close to getting it right a few times. This is one of the better ones.

I took a vantage point on top of a large rock, and I think the added distance allowed me to get the foreground in focus. The composition is very pleasing as a result.

It took me a long time to figure out where this was, but I eventually landed on Hug Point near Cannon Beach on the Oregon Coast. The Oregon Coast is imfamous for its cloud cover, and that particular day wasn’t budging. A wise photographer friend once tole me, “Every day is the perfect day to be taking pictures”, so I got out my camera despite the dreary weather, and took this picture, along with quite a few more.

I have been fighting with my 8x10 Deardorff over the last few weeks. It seems to have picked up a few more light leaks. All of my pictures that I developed today were ruined except for this one. This one seemed to have escaped the carnage.

I had to dust off the front and back tilt skills to pull this one off without having to put the exposure time into the reciprocity failure zone. It seems to have worked. Over all, I'm happy with it.

BNSF Train at Drano Lake, Washington by Gary L. Quay

24 3

The Eastern Columbia Gorge is where I go when I am sick of the unbroken cloud cover of the Portland area. Fluffy clouds are the best. Ominous clouds are even better. These are a mixture of the two. Throw in a train, and we're cookin'.

The HCRH at Rowena by Gary L. Quay

It was a bright day, and the sun was just over the hill ahead of me on the road. It was a tough situation in which to be pointing a camera, but I did anyway.

This is a film version of a picture I posted last week. My darkroom is up and running, although it still needs some work, and a proper sink.

Camera: Hasseblad 500CM

Lens: 80mm Zeiss Planar

Film: Ilford PanF+ developed in 510 Pyro

Study in Lichen and Bokeh by Gary L. Quay

23

We went out to Maryhill to pick up some wine, and drove home on the Oregon side. Just west of Rowena, there are some lovely white oak trees that are thick with lichen. I wondered how that would look in black and white, and then I threw a Lensbaby into the mix. It got deliciously creepy.

Winter is When the Lensbabys come out.

Camera: Nikon D810

Lens: Lensbaby Double Glass in the Composer Pro body

The Columbia from Mayer State Park, Oregon by Gary L. Quay

32 2

We wanted to escape the omnipresent cloud cover in the Portland area, so we made a pilgrimage to the eastern Columbia Gorge, where the forecast predicted sun breaks. We were not disappointed. The Columbia River was calm, and the sun peaked through the clouds to the south.

Camera: Hasselblad 500CM

Lens: 120mm Zeiss Sonnar

Film: Ilford XP2 developed by Citizens Photo in Portland

Gaia on a Walk by Gary L. Quay

30 2

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. Gaia and I were out for a walk today, and I took the infrared camera. She uses the wheelchair as a walker until she can’t walk anymore, then set sits down, and I push her in the wheelchair. It has extended our range quite a bit.

Camera: Nikon D300 (infrared conversion)

Lens: Vintage 20mm Nikkor
