    Location suggestions for photographing Blue Angels?

    Sure did! I'll share 'em later, after I process the ones I like best. The Blue Angels show ran a half-hour.

    Location suggestions for photographing Blue Angels?

    Thanks again for the suggestions, everyone. I ended up on the west I-90 high-rise, about halfway between the closure point and the tunnel portal. Mistake; it was hard to get shots looking south or east across the lake because of all the people. Next year, if I do the bridge again, I'll stay...

    Thanks for the tips, Bob!

    Location suggestions for photographing Blue Angels?

    I'm thinking about heading over to Seattle on Saturday morning and staking out a spot from which to shoot the Blue Angels. (I've lived in the area for five and a half years and never once seen them perform, so I figured this weekend was a good a time as any.) I was thinking of heading to the...

    Yearling thoroughbreds, an old fart and a first ride

    Thanks, Janice and Bob! Cortney wants to do the initial breaking-in period bareback to build trust with Amira and have her become accustomed to the physical commands Cortney transmits; unfortunately, that philosophy didn't work so well today as Amira attempted to buck Cortney off a few times...

    Yearling thoroughbreds, an old fart and a first ride

    Saturday's choice: A triple-header steam excursion on the Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad, or a relaxing afternoon with my girlfriend? Companionship won out over a two-hour jaunt down south... The racing stables in the valley have a trio of yearlings who have quite literally been growing up...

    Landed my first Magazine cover

    Congrats! What a fascinating shot, too; I love how you included some clearly local flavor to distinguish this scene from being just any ol' container terminal.

    Raindrops keep falling on my head

    Thanks, everyone. I'll post some more photos later on... Arline, I've been kicking myself for missing a chance to do just that on the Polson #70 chase last weekend. *sigh* Oh well, there will be other opportunities...

    Raindrops keep falling on my head

    It's been a (long) while since I've posted here, so I thought I'd contribute something a little different from what those who know me would expect. Five and a half months ago I began dating a wonderful girl who loves horses as much as I do railroads, and it's been an entertaining adventure...

    How about Honan Creek? I was there four years ago... :D

    Comment by 'DWHonan' in media 'PCC grain train in the Palouse'

    Bob, you nailed exactly what my fundamental philosophy is for composing railroad images: Not to specifically highlight the train, but instead to show the train within the greater context of its surroundings. Every mile of railroad has a story -- why it was built, what purpose it serves, why it...

    Foss River Bridge

    After joining PNWP shortly after Bob founded the site, I became distracted by life and drifted away from participating here. I certainly didn't abandon photography, though, so I thought I'd present a few of my favorites from '09. These will primarily focus on railroading since that's what I...

    Steve E. - Favorites of '09

    These are some wonderful photos, Steve. Maybe I should stop heading for the hills all the time and focus more on what's close to home along Puget Sound!

    Cream of the Crop of 2009

    Steve, I usually only get to see your railroad photography, and I always forget that you shoot so much more than just trains. Your ability to use available light and sense of composition are remarkable. Thanks for sharing this great collection with us.

    PCC grain train in the Palouse

    Mornings in the Palouse are well-known for the interplay of light and shadow amongst the hills that so readily identify the region. Incomprehensibly vast acreages of cultivated fields supply the grain products that feed a hungry nation; golden stalks chopped down to ground level are remnants of...

    Moonlit Foss River Bridge

    The only word I can find to describe this scene is "surreal." Indeed, a bright three-quarter moon lighting up the Cascade Range forest during a blizzard could only be something imagined in one's dreams... except that it happened. In one of those incredibly rare instances where...
