Looks like I may have the opportunity to head on back to Oregon for some shooting. My trek usually starts with Seattle and then to Oregon and then back to Seattle. This time it looks to be Oregon only. Scouting locations online has brought me to revisit some of my archives. Horsetail is a great spot to shoot. Being from The OC you don't see this much so it is always exciting to head up to Oregon and the Portland area. These trips are usually only 4 days so I really try to plan and get as much shooting in as possible.
Any ideas on where to shoot, I would appreciate any advice. So far here are some of the places I am looking at:
Japanese Garden
Lower Oneonta Falls
Sparks Lake
Crater Lake
Downtown Portland
I am also looking for anything abandoned to shoot as well.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Freedom Earned
Abandoned LA Zoo, not a lot to see, this is about the only thing I thought was worth the shooting.
Not as Creepy of a place as I thought, might go back and check it out another time. I was also short on time and I was looking to hit another spot before heading home.
Slowly but surely working on a website to show my photo's that gives a better showcase than flickr.
Check it out if you get a chance.

LA's Fine
Before there was the LA Zoo shot there was the LA Sunrise shot from the Griffith Park Observatory.
That I know of the best place to see the sunrise in LA is the Griffith Park Observatory.
75 degrees at 6am, the weather was beautiful but any sunrise shots in LA does have a hazy feel to them. I still have yet to get up here in the winter but one of these days that will happen.
This shot is just about directly out of the camera. Here is the minor photoshop post processing:
Post Processing:
>Nik Color Efex Pro 4.0
>Pro Contrast
>Tonal contrast
>Adjustment layer-Hue/Sat for sky blues
>9/16 cropping for more pano view
>Framed and sized for posting

Flesh and Bone
I have sat on this shot for a while and with not going out and shooting but once in the last month I decided to revisit it. What catches my attention on this is the movement of the smoke through the frame. Simple and clear lines that really catch the eye.
Thanks for looking, your comments and thoughts are welcomed!!

Listen To The Sound
Cruising down the road or sitting on the beach. The smell of the air, the sound of the ocean, the breeze blowing and a song comes on the radio, it is a song you haven't heard in a long time. You close your eyes and you remember once upon a time back to that summer day and that song playing on the radio. The warm air with the windows down cruising down the road, sitting on the beach with the sandy radio blasting out a tune. Maybe it was just sitting on the beach with your girlfriend or boyfriend watching the sunset or does it go back to the days when you went to the beach with your parents and you were digging in the sand and your parents had a song come on the radio "K earth 101". Do you remember, can you feel it, almost touch it and smell the air? Yup, those were the days!!

Laguna Moon
Walking up the hill from the beach this was a hard shot to pass up, so I didn't.
The full moon shining on the beach and water really gave a great look.
F/22 helped give the moon the star look.

Castle In the Sand
Where do you build your life and your faith...
In a shack on the rock or a castle in the sand?
