Night Shoot in Portland

I went back to NW Industrial tonight and parked under the Fremont Bridge. One of Portland's Finest checked out my car as I was getting this shot. I guess I wasn't suspicious enough since he didn't ask for my ID. I took the opporunity to shoot across the river to Swan Island for a slightly different take on Glacier NW.

Then I headed for Hayden Island to see if I could get a decent shot of Hooters without being harassed by a fat bald paranoid guy. This time I parked in Safeway's lot and setup the tripod between parked cars. I doubt than anyone feeling guilty even saw me.

It was a great night and the dogs even enjoyed going out.

Leonardo da Vinci

Yesterday Don and I went to the event at OMSI. Nice day to go to the Museum. Not necessarily busy and quite instructive. Other than Leo and the OMSI Grill nothing interested us there so it was a relatively short outing. Sorry No Photographs Allowed.

After reflecting on several suggestions made on a picture taken under the Fremont Bridge I decided to re-compose the shot for just the skyline and reflections on the Willamette River. Here is my finished result.

More Shots from Last Night

We started the night by driving to St John's for the Bridge I posted last night. Then I took C. to Riverscape @ 17th and Front Avenue for views of the Fremont Bridge from the West. This was a Panoramic shot looking at the opposite waterfront and Fremont Bridge approach. This could be the location for many dramatic photos. My goal of the evening was to reshoot the Palms Motel Neon which is in pristine condition. While this is not unique and creative it does show the condition and setting of the Neon sign. Now I want to go back for even more.

A Little bit of Night Photography

Went out tonight for a few photos. I especially like this one I took of the St John's Bridge. I also got a great shot of the Neon at the Palms Motor Hotel.

Congratulations Steelers!!!

This has got to be one of the best Superbowls I've ever seen. 2 exciting and unlikely plays led to the win with teams that were evenly matched. Unbelievable.

DirectBuy

All I can really say about it is that if you are building, remodeling or decorating and planning to spend some real bucks you should consider a membership. They can save you up to 50% on many, many items. I was considering them for the kitchen cabinets and appliances at the Townhouse but it is more practical for Karin than for me and they don't allow a shared membership.

I spent an hour and a half at their presentation then decided to leave when that fact became apparent to me.
