I made it back out to one of my favorite places to be. The Deschutes River at dusk. It was hot in the canyon today, and the welcome cool of the evening seems to bring the canyon to life. Critter time to be sure. I've seen huge porcupines, deer, a bobcat, rattlesnakes, and many other cool creatures at this magical hour.

Finally got out to take some photos today. I should have a few to put up this week. Lots of great weather shots since it's practically summer here in Portland. I've been joking that I can't believe it's June already.
02.04.05 • winter willows (3)
D70 • f13 • 1/50 • ISO 200
This is the first shot in a long time that I'm really happy with. I really feel lucky to have caught this just in time. The morning fog was THICK, but was burning off quickly. I hopped in the car and went across to the riverfront esplanade. The fog was still too thick to take any city shots, but helped provide the background for these leafless weeping willows.
I did minimal curves adjustments and a crop to adjust framing.

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.
12.01.04 • covered parking (12)
D70 • f3.8 • 1/15 • ISO 200
I shot this underneath I-405 on NW Johnson Street in Portland some time ago. I've been meaning to post this one for a while, but it kept getting pushed back. I still like it, so I figure it's good enough to kick off December.
Oh yeah! Thanks to all those that have been checking out the photos, encouraging me, and marking me a favorite over at photoblogs.org. I've been inspired by many of your photos as well!

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.

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 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).

Very beautiful. Do you ever post them in higher res for wallpaper?
03.11.06 • 12:25am • spring • Jennifer Corio
Stunning photographs, Kyle!

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!
