Heres an interesting shot I got the other night while taking photos of the Vista House. It still needs some more processing to get rid of the noise in the photo, but I still like it.
Nighttime in the Columbia River Gorge
Heres an interesting shot I got the other night while taking photos of the Vista House. It still needs some more processing to get rid of the noise in the photo, but I still like it.
Vista House at Night
Heres a shot I took of the Vista House at Crown Point last night. The illumination behind the building is coming from the half moon. Taken about 11 p.m.
Pink Rose with frame
Delved back into the archives and pulled out this rose photo from the Oregon Garden taken earlier this year. Thought I'd spruce it up a bit and post it! Enjoy.
Here is an older shot that I made last March. I've been revisiting some of my old work and touching it up in photoshop and adding the framing that you see here. In this photo I removed a big bush that was in the lower right corner of the photo. I was able to simply clone it out. Also I sharpened this image extensively and also removed some digital noise. I really like the final result here and I may even make a print out of it! Thanks for viewing.Pink Rose
Heres an image that I posted a close-up of before, now I've played with the lighting in Photoshop and added a really cool frame effect. I think I'll be using this frame on all my shots from now on. Let me know what you think!
Mt. Thielson wide angle
An Image of Mt. Thielson, Oregon. Taken from my fathers boat while fishing at Diamond Lake last August.
Multnomah Falls
Finally! Heres a new shot for all of you out there. Its Multnomah Falls about 20 minutes east of Portland. I've been meaning to get a decent shot here for years. Heres the first of several shots I took today, I'll be working on more photos and posting any others that I like.
Thunderbirds Diamond Formation
Yet another shot from the USAF Thunderbirds incredible performance on 09/11/05.
Thunderbird Reflection
Another shot of the Thunderbirds amazing performance on 9/11/05 at the Oregon Airshow.
Heritage Flight T6 Texan and T6 Texan 2
I think this flight was also part of the "Heritage Flight" that was originally meant to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the USAF. Here we see a World War 2 era trainer, the T-6 "Texan" and its modern day namesake the T-6 "Texan 2".
Heritage Flight - P51 and A10 Thunderbolt
Here is a shot of the World War II vintage P-51 Mustang flying alongside the A-10 Thunderbolt 2, aka "The Warthog". This flight took place during the 2005 Oregon Airshow in Hillsboro, Oregon. The organizers call this the "Heritage Flight" and was originally conceived in 1997 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the United States Airforce. Its always a thrill to see these two aircraft flying as they are my two personal favorite warbirds from the old and new generations of flight. However, I can't understand why they don't fly an original P-47 Thunderbolt along side the new Thunderbolt II as that would seem more suitable. They both flew the same types of missions and they both carry the same namesake. Of course, I don't mean to disparage the more famous P-51 Mustang, as it flew many air-ground missions as well during its tenure from WWII into the Korean War. Thanks for viewing!
Team Oracle Ribbon Cutting
Heres another image from the 2005 Oregon Airshow. This plane is the Team Oracle aircraft piloted by Sean D. Tucker. This guy puts on a really, really amazing performance and if you get the opportunity to see him, you should. I'm not kidding, I've been to a LOT of airshows and this guys performance is worth the price of admission alone.
Red Baron Pizza Squadron - Coming At Ya!
Another shot from last weekends airshow....expect more images to come!
Head on Pass
Heres a shot from the USAF Thunderbirds demonstration squadron. This team of pilots has consistently put out high quality shows throughout the years. Every performance that these guys do is their "A" game and you can always count on being entertained when they show up. This image is from yesterdays Oregon Airshow in Hillsboro, OR.
BOOM! - Unaltered Repost
Heres an unaltered shot of my post from yesterday. As you compare the two, you can see that I didn't do any of the burning in on this photo as I did on the other one. As to which one I like more.....well, its hard for me to say. I think I like the burned in version more myself. I'd like to know what you think!
BOOM!
An incredibly lucky shot I got of an F18 at near mach speed. I feel so very fortunate for being able to get this shot as it is a shot that I've always wanted to take. This was shot today at the 2005 Oregon Airshow in Hillsboro, Oregon.
Taken with my Canon EOS 20D with my Quantary 300mm lens at F8, 1600th of a second. ISO 400.
Repost of Portlandia
Here's a repost of my Portlandia image. I've been tweaking it a little bit here and there since I posted it last night. Here is one of the better results of my experimentation. I feel by blurring out the background, I've been able to increase the viewers focus on the statue. Hope you like it!
