Washington-Oregon Pics

[Berto]

I am very fortunate to have to travel to the Northwest for work semi-frequently. I try to get out and explore once the work for the day is completed. This particular trip I 'had' to stay the weekend since I had to be in Seattle one week and Portland a few days of the week after. I have not edited everything but I couldn't resist posting a couple of teasers.

Nice pictures, I lived in Wyoming for a little while and there is nothing like seeing mountans like that in person.

Oregon is a beautiful state, was one of my favorite states to drive through when I drove a truck.

[TTQ B4U]

Nice! Both are crying out for some large pano views.

NW='s Winning. I was in Washington State once for a week. Breathtaking. I need to get back to WA/OR sometime soon.

I wouldn't mind living in the PNW someday.

moar. I will put numbers on them for comments. Also still have more coming. On this trip I stumbled on an unknown to me, museum. The Lemay auto museum opened in June of this year. What a treat. Will Post pics later.

5 got to see 3 Bald Eagles, first time I've seen them in the wild. This one was getting PO'd by a seagull. My lens did not have enough zoom so this is cropped.

The panorama is that a post process stitch or were you using a special lens. Either way that looks awesome!

Post process stitch . Although I was using my 10-20mm zoom on some of these that particular picture is huge, its almost an 180 Degree panorama.

Great shots man. Funny how so many of them are from some of the same spots we go to. 3 of them are nearly exact.

 

I can't wait to move up there. We're kicking around a few options now to hopefully make that a reality sooner than later. One of the decision is to stick it out in our current home and not buy another nicer one here in Ohio but rather wait for the move.

[Berto]

Moar.

In this one there is an older lady painting. I wanted to ask her for permission to get a few shots of her painting (closer) but by the time I got to her she was already packing up.

Here is a separate link to the Lemay auto Museum in Tacoma. It was Spectacular. We didn't have too much time to get artsy fotos.

What lenses did you use for the shots above?

[TTQ B4U]

What lenses did you use for the shots above?

 

Looks like a combo of the 18.0-55.0 mm f/3.5-5.6 & 10.0-20.0 mm f/4.0-5.6

 

Berto did some excellent work on these shots. My only insight is if they are RAW, to help recapture the highlights, especially in the falls. I did it easily with a web compressed jpeg so it should be a snap in a RAW converter.

[Berto]

As Tim said I think most of it was with the 10-20mm. I am loving on that lens. I did switch to the 35mm F1.8 prime for a few shots.

 

Honestly brings up a good question, I have a real hard time picking what lens I want to be with. How often do you all switch lenses when out shooting. Sometimes I find myself not taking shots because....I don't feel like changing lenses.

 

With that said I am looking very closely at this macro lens. Anyone with good thoughts on it?

Can't say I've any experience with it, but it seems to rate well. I've looked at Macro's and would say that a 60-100mm is a good range to consider only because you can be further from your subject thus allowing for easier lighting.
