I walked around as the local first thursday art fair broke up and just clicked off a bunch of shots at f/5, IS01600. It seemed a reasonable approach for someone without much time to devote to thinking about photography lately. I really liked some of the images that resulted.

D70 • f/4.5 • 2.5s • ISO 200
So I went and missed the first birthday of this site, which should have been November 6th. I started a new job this week, so I know now I will officially not have much time for lots of photography for a while. Expect posts here and there but not so frequently.
This was caught last night on the roof. Last week they constructed a very large crane across the street, which looked kinda cool at night. It took two other cranes, one small, the other medium, to construct the large crane. Interesting to watch.
Oh yeah, and Happy Birthday to my dad!

D70 • f/13 • 20s • ISO 200
Went to the local minor league game last night. After the game, which the Portland Beavers lost in a 10-0 rout to the Tacoma Something-or-others, we got to hear some fabulously cheesy music and blow stuff up.
Site Update: I've implemented tag/categories to my photos now. If you check out the verbose page, you can now see the photos listed by tag by selecting from the tag list at the left. I did this mainly to help myself revisit older photos that were similar, but thought visitors might like to use it as well.
12.10.04 • holiday inn (1)
D70 • f14 • 8 sec • ISO 200
This one was taken shortly after yesterday's photo. I've been eyeing this night shot for a while after driving by this cool green wall a couple times. There was only enough time for three exposures before it started raining, but I'm happy with this one. I slightly corrected for prespective, but colors are untouched result of incandescent WB.

D70 • f14 • 30 sec • ISO 200 • +2.0
Yesterday's bank trip inspired me to return last night just after rush hour to capture this shot from an I-405 overpass towards Portland's west hills. I especially liked the turn signals and the legible exit signs, where I found my title.
12.03.04 • midnight fog (5)
D70 • f13 • 30s • ISO 200
I feel amazingly lucky to have this image to post. Last night, around midnight, I had the occasion to look out the window to view a fog bank engulfing the Fremont bridge. I took the camera up to the roof and was greeted with a spectacular opportunity for some night shots. The bridge was gone, but I did manage to get three long exposures before the fog swallowed the city whole. I experimented with setting white balance to incandescent and found the resulting colors striking and quite realistic. This photo is almost unaltered except for slight rotation and resize/unsharp for the web.
11.11.04 • fremont rush (5)
D70 • f/11 • 10s • ISO 250
Not much to say about this one. I don't like many of my night shots, but still experiment with long exposures because you never know. I liked this one once I desaturated all but the tail-lights, drawing attention to the evening rush hour.
10.30.04 • fremont blur (0)
D70 • f/5.6 • 2.5s • ISO 200
Handheld at night, this was just me toying with the D70 after being put out of the big poker game. I think the little bowties effect is what makes this one fun. I thought nothing of it at the time, but it turned out to be a nice surprise.

This image made me think of http://www.portlandground.com/archives/2006/06/sidewalk_front_yard_budda.php ! I just stumbled upon your site today and I'm really enjoying looking at your pictures and remembering "hey I've been there or hey I used to live there!". I lived in downtown Portland for two years before moving back to the midwest a few months ago. I miss Portland soooooooooooo much. :o( But I'm glad I can relive my memories through your pictures!

Very nice image of the canyon. I really like the sky and how the stream leads the eye through the frame. Nicely done.

It's been too long between visits to your blog, you have some great images. That's a very creative gardener and your capture is fantastic.

I really like this shot - there's a great contrast between the sharp light trails on the right, and the more mellow blurring on the left. well done

Very Nice

Very moody image. Well seen and captured!

Not usually Rob, but I do take requests. And must admit that sometimes it takes me a while to get to them (since I have to reprocess them).
03.11.06 • 6:36pm • spring • Rob
Very beautiful. Do you ever post them in higher res for wallpaper?
03.11.06 • 12:25am • spring • Jennifer Corio
Stunning photographs, Kyle!

wow
02.19.06 • 11:52am • ocean beaches • Craig
Wow! Very nice shot. You have some great pix here man!!! I am just wondering on this particular shot how you get the lights and no cars... I see the camera settings under the title but I'm not a photographer so it doesn't mean a whole lot to me. Freakin awesome!
Makes me want to bust out my old Cannon AE-1. And I would if it hadn't pissed me off so many times! (realizing that I really need to stick with the disposable click boxes!)

The white tones are perfect. I like this one.

I always like to see pictures taken by other people, on the other side of the country, and know exactly where it was taken.

HA! I want that car! I've been looking for pictures all morning cuz I wanna paint my combi (in four years, I'll be out of school and old enough to drive a car so that's when I'll get one ....) just like that!
12.29.05 • 2:29pm • statue man #2 • kyle
He's been around for a few years I believe, but these are my first shots of him. You might be remembering someone else?
I'm not sure if he calls himself statue man, but others do I believe. I found an article about him versus the City of Portland, which you can read here.
12.29.05 • 11:36am • statue man #2 • the Robot Vegetable
This statue was there last year too, wasn't he? Seems like you had some pictures of him before.
Does he call himself Statue Man? I think of him as a robot man, but I've never seen him in action - he's usually just standing there when I go by.
12.28.05 • 6:15am • statue man #2 • Manual Exposure
This is an interesting composition. You've handled the silver body paint well, a tough material to photograph by itself, and the reflection captured in the performer's sunglasses has me asking what does he see? Wish there wasn't such a bright white diamond in the top middle of the frame from the crossing of the awnings--makes my eye go right to it.

Thanks everyone for the great comments. I'm glad to see you checking back even if I don't post often enough :-).

love the way the tones all blend together...a rather cool capture!
