A Lost Roll

Today while I was doing laundry, I started thinking about the blog, that turned into looking through some of my photos from the last few months, and the realization that in the excitement to share my photos from my trip out to Wyoming and Montana, I had neglected some other rolls that I had planned to post. This set is from a roll that I shot last summer. This mishmash of photos includes a show at the The Pied Cow, a hike to Triple Falls, a Lost Lockets music video shoot, and another hike up to Mirror Lake. Coming up next time, probably either stuff from PDX POP fest, or some stuff from skate demos at Ed Benedict Skatepark.

All the world's a sunny day

This post marks the fourth and final set of photos you have been seeing over the past few weeks from my trip out to Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. This set is comprised of the color shots I took while we were in Yellowstone. Except for that one of the bird. The bird was hanging out at the R.V. park we slept at in Idaho the night that Yellowstone was full. As for things you might be seeing show up in the future, I just got a roll back from MFNW, and will have some shots from the backpacking trip I just got back from up on Mt. Hood. Maybe some other stuff, who knows? Until then, enjoy these views of Yellowstone.

Throw the Rope

 Here's round two of the photos from the Grand Teton, and Yellowstone National Parks trip. These are some of the color shots from the time we spent at Teton Valley Ranch camp. My team got knocked out of the roping tournament in the first round, so I had plenty of time to watch and take photos. The Teton photos at the bottom of this post were taken the following day while we were camping at the Gros Ventre campground in the Jackson Valley.

Warm breezes

The warm weather seems to have come back to us recently. With that blessing of sunshine I've been able to get out with my camera a bit more and do some exploring. It's hard to beat Oregon in the summertime. I've got some hike planned for the next two months that should hopefully produce some pretty shots. These are mostly from trips to the Columbia River Gorge, and the last two are from a great spot up on the west side of Mt. Hood called Ramona Falls.

In Living Color

I got a pleasant surprise yesterday when I got my most recent roll of film developed. Color! I could have sworn that both of my cameras had black and white film in them when I went down to the redwoods. As you can see, I was wrong. Starting with the kitties, the rest of the shots were all taken while I was wandering around the neighborhood trying to finish out the roll.

In other news, I just finished shooting my first roll of tri-x 400 film. It's my first time shooting with that kind of film, and with an ND filter on my lens. So hopefully those turn out well. If not, I've got five more rolls to figure out what I'm doing. I also recently found out that I can use hearing aid batteries to make the light meter work on my Canon FT, since the original mercury based batteries are no longer available. So that's pretty sweet.
