Indian History

Engine case of an antique (1917 I think) Indian motorcycle. Captured at the Hood River Air Museum. If you are in the area and like cars & airplanes, it is a must see!

Lake Cloud HDR

Taken on a lucky (fairly) sunny day. I saw the cloud and knew I wanted a photo of it. I only hoped that it would be located above and remain intact long enough for me to get to the lake. Well, I guess it worked out. :-)

Another from Newport

I like the sign over the fishing pier entrance. Reminds me of a boardwalk to something much fancier than what it really is.

Sunset over the Bay

The sunset over the Seletz River/Bay in Newport, Oregon. Great place.....

Spidie

I found this little guy just hanging around on my barn. Pentax Q & 90mm Macro, white card for reflecting light.

Bay Bridge

I know, the bridge again. But I love the bridge and I get to visit infrequently. Please mouse over and let me know which version you prefer? The highly processed HDR version or the regular (default) HDR version. Thanks!

Red Bull

A little street photography from the Oregon State Fair. This kid was quite animated.

Just the Sky

Not spectacular, but I was playing with my Q and fisheye lens when my wife was driving us home. The sunset was great, as they all are, and I couldn't resist. Just a sunset over a field, true, but don't we live for these. :-)

Crabbing

Crabbing off the fishing pier at Newport is Katen, my niece. She is all tomboy: not scared of any crab, bug or snake, carries a knife and owns a gun. (It is safely in a safe.) Quite the little trooper!

Another Perspective

I really liked the perspective of the fisheye lens on the Q of this bridge. And, of course, the setting sun. I'm under the Newport bay bridge in Oregon. It was a great visit a couple weeks ago. Always a favorite of mine.

For the Flies

I really do enjoy my little Pentax Q camera and am constantly amazed. I have attached my 90mm macro to it and got these of a common fly. Great working distance and quality. These are full frame, not cropped in any way. I like it!

The Lake

A few days ago I got a new lend for my Pentax Q, the 03 fisheye. Not so much a fisheye as just a really wide angle. Any way, I wnet to one of my favorite little lakes and snapped a few, stitched a panorama, edited in Photoshop adding a testure map and edge treatment. Came out fairly well for a testure map that I created all on my own!

Wet Leaf

This was only taken a few weeks ago. We here in the NW have only been in summer for a short time. Even today is cloudy with a chance or fain.

Just Yellow

Not sure what this is but I like the solitude of this very small flower. Serenely sitting there.....

Dasies 3

After a quick June shower yesterday, out pops the sun. I couldn't resist.

Forrest Trillium

I love Trillium flowers. Very short lived and a little hard to find. They start out white and then pinkish, like this one, as they age. I think I got this one right! :-)

Bee

Hone bee attached to a flower bud. It took a lot of shutter presses to get this one from my new camera, Pentax Q. Taken with the regular lens and +4 close-up filter, I think it came out quite well. Still learning the finer points of this camera, but it is quite small and fun to use. I have more images coming.....
