A walk through some of Washington’s apple boom history

I recently took a hike through some of Washington State’s apple boom history. One hundred years ago, the government in the area, decided to begin clearing a wagon trail to better access the apple orchards up in the grasslands of the Husum and White Salmon River area of Washington. Chief Jacob Hunt, or Titcamnashat, which means “Earth Thunderer”, was the local Klickitat Chief and shaman...

Pacific Coast – HDR Photos

Yes, more Pacific Coast photos! Yachats, Oregon to be exact. I wanted to post up a few of my HDR photos from my Yachats trip. What is HDR? Well it’s a process that can be done with a number of different software programs like, Photomatix, Adobe Photoshop, and HDR Efex Pro. There are more, but I think that those three are the main players right now. Personally, I have been using HDR Efex Pro a lot...

The Great Oregon Slug!

I snapped a photo of this guy during my hike out in the Starvation Creek area. Yeah, they’re a dime a dozen out here in Oregon, but this guy was huge! Love how this picture came out.My favorite type of photo is getting close up on objects, and then blurring the surroundings with a wide open aperture. Since so many people garden out here in Oregon, these poor guys are very hated by many! But on the...

Long Exposures on the Yachats Oregon Coast

Here is a few of my evening, long-exposure photos from Yachats, Oregon! This is the second installment of images from my recent trip over to the central Oregon Coast. You might care to read the first installment, Yachats Oregon Coast-Part One ? The night images were taken the first evening that we were there. It was around 9:30 or so when I could finally start upping the exposure times. Keep in mind, that...

Yachats – Oregon Coast – Part One

My wife and I just got back from our little vacation in Yachats Oregon. And by the way, that’s pronounced, “YA-HOTS”, which I was not aware of until recently. We drove over there through the Tillamook State Forest, and then took Highway 101 south through Tillamook, Lincoln City, and Depoe Bay, which like to call themselves the “Worlds Smallest Harbor”, and the “Whale...

Fleet Week Ships in Portland

It’s Fleet Week! Another one of the great events in Portland. One of the many things my wife and I love about Portland Oregon, is that there always seems to be something going on somewhere in the city. In addition to Fleet Week, there’s also the Portland Rose Festival, and a waterfront carnival going on as well! So getting to the photos: we were just heading downtown and were going to walk...

Washington State Forest Trees

Solitude in the Washington Forest. Gifford Pinchot National Forest to be exact. There’s really something great about being out in the woods. Sometimes, I love just getting away from civilization, road noise, and people. This was taken the same day that I took my, Lower Lewis River Falls, photo. We were just walking back to the car, and I decided to start taking photos of the trees. This was my...

Portland Oregon Pink Flowers

A few different pink flowers around some neighborhoods of Portland, Oregon. I really wish I had information on these things! I honestly don’t know anything about flowers. I’ve walked past these particular ones many times when my wife and I go on walks, and have planned on shooting them for a while now. Maybe some of you can help me out on identifying them for me? I’ve made all my stock...
