Day 488 - Red sails at sunset

ISO 100, 125mm, f/10, 1/60 sec

Another from the coast on Saturday. Just makes ya wanna sing doesn't it?

Day 481 - Layers

ISO 100, 70mm, f/9.0, 1/250 sec

'Nuff said.

Day 429 - Sunset in the city

ISO 100, 23mm, f/22, 1.6 sec

Since Karen was craving Ethiopian again today, I got to spend some more time on the Esplanade.

I was in high hopes for a more vivid sunset, I guess this will just have to do.

Those clouds were full of little raindrops.

Day 406 - Walking path

ISO 100, 24mm, f/18, 30.0 sec

There is a walking path that runs along side the Willamette River at the riverfront park.

Since it is so well lit, it is a fairly safe place to walk in the evening. As spring gets closer, I suspect there will be a lot more people out and about.

Day 398

ISO 100, 24mm, f/22, 0.5 sec

Day 398 - Clouded reflections

Sad to say, this is Salem's unusual weather. It is getting incredibly cold at night, but almost 50° and sunny by day.

Day 393

ISO 100, 32mm, f/16, 25.0 sec

Day 393 - Watercolor

This is from Tuesday night. I never realized how beautiful leafless trees are. They are so dramatic in the reflection.

Day 392

ISO 100, 105mm, f/4.5, 1/80 sec

Day 392 - Sunset ride

This was taken from the parking lot at Mt. Hood on Saturday. It was pleasant while sun was out, but once the sun was gone it was mighty cold.

I was putting everything away and looked up to see this. Suddenly it wasn't so cold. I unpacked my gear and remained in the parking lot standing on a solid sheet of ice watching the sun go down.

Day 390

ISO 100, 45mm, f/22, 1.6 sec

Day 390 - Silhouettes and sunsets

An unusual sunset down at the riverfront tonight. I really didn't think we were going to get anything. This was a pleasant surprise.

Day 385

Day 385 - Winter skies

What a show we've had lately.

Day 383

ISO 100, 105mm, f/22, 30.0 sec

Day 383 - Shadows

This is from last night because today, wait for it, it's raining. I loved the shadow created by the platform on bridge pylon.

Day 382

ISO 100, 105mm, f/4.0, 1/30 sec

Day 382 - Stolen moments

Yesterday I picked up a link to a story about an unknown street photographer, Vivian Maier. I am sure I was drawn to this older couple watching the sunset tonight because I was so inspired by her. The clip is definitely worth watching.

Day 368

ISO 200, 105mm, f/16, 1/30 sec.

Day 368 - Trapped

Three weeks of vacation and today, I am back behind my desk at work. How on earth did the time go so quickly?

I got up to take a quick walk-about just as the sun was setting. I don't think I have ever seen it glow on the streets.

Day 366

ISO 100, 55mm, f/14, 1/40 sec.

Day 366 - It promises to be a very good year

If I have said once, I've said it a million times, I really love doing the 365 project.

What I didn't love was posting a picture that I wasn't proud of at the moment. (My attitude towards some of the pictures I really liked changed as I progressed through the year.) I also had a great many photos that I took that I should have posted, but I wanted the exercise of being picky, posting just the one that I thought was the best.

I know I will pick up my camera every day. I enjoy it too much not too. I also reserve the right to post a few out takes when the day just didn't come together.

Happy New Year. 1-1-11

This is taken from the old railroad bridge over the Willamette.

Ran down to Riverfront Park this evening in hopes of catching some color.
