    Broadening our Focus - More than just the Pacific Northwest.

    That is totally correct! If you have an interest in our discussions, you’re welcome! As I mentioned, having a core focus on the Pacific Northwest is what makes the place special. Otherwise it’d be like “Ok, it’s a place to post your photos and talk... So just like Facebook only with a $69 ad...

    Zoolights - Portland, OR

    It’s been a long while for me too. The zoo train track to the Rose Garden has been out of service for years now, and the new loop in the zoo is very short. It really is a wonderful zoo, but also far enough away that without the added incentive of a good train ride, I’ll just visit my local ones...

    Zoolights - Portland, OR

    The favorite photo of them all. I worked with the Zoo railroad for quite a few years, and they use my photography for PR. They wanted a photo of the train all lit up on the bridge. I told them that I couldn't do it with the train moving. They didn't want to stop on the bridge with passengers for...

    Zoolights - Portland, OR

    I was able to return later, and get some additional photos. I got permission from the Zoo director to be "back stage" and get photos in areas not open to the public. These are my favorite photos. This section was all removed when they created the new elephant habitat.

    The Darkroom - Virtual Bar and Grill

    I'll get things started... What are you shooting and how much photography have you done lately? Obviously things have changed, a lot, lately. Are you still shooting, and if so where and what subjects? My summer has completely changed. 4 Ren Faires have cancelled, and the last one, scheduled...

    The Darkroom - Virtual Bar and Grill

    All of my other discussion forums have an "off topic topic". A place you can just say hello, comment on the weather, talk about your current projects, and talk with your fellow forum members. You don't have to be "on topic here". Like any good bar, we have one rule. NO religion or politics...

    Old Faithful by Moonlight

    On our most recent trip to Yellowstone, there was a full moon during our visit. I decided to go out and do some night photography. While on the way to my primary shot, I had an idea. I told my wife "Wonder if I can do Old Faithful and the moon?" With no internet to check the eruption time, I...

    Broadening our Focus - More than just the Pacific Northwest.

    So... About that "Pacific Northwest Photography" thing. Just how strict are we about that? Well, not much at all. It's our primary topic, but all photos and photographers from any region are welcome. Here's the deal. When I started this place, everyone and their dog had a photography...

    Osprey Nesting

    I meant on the tower but raise it above the antenna part. Keep them away from the radiation. I've seen it done, but you may need special reinforcement for the additional load.

    Amtrak and Mount Rainier

    Yeah, kinda, LOL. It's always a challenge. Works best in winter, in summer you get haze. Of course clouds are always a risk, even on an otherwise bright and sunny day. Spent a couple hours there, got a few trains. I almost, but not quite, got two trains side by side. They were both...

    Nikon School is now Free

    Offer extended through the end of May. They have great classes, and while some are Nikon specific (Getting to know your Nikon DLSR, Using the SB5000 flash etc), many of them are very general in nature and work no matter what gear you're using. There's no gimmick, or catch to this. Classes that...

    Osprey Nesting

    Nice photos, thanks for sharing. Glad we got it working for you again. I wish they'd do a platform here. Raise it up some, get the birds away from the transmitters.

    Welcome back Osprey (Upload Error - Solved)

    We moved the website to a new server last month. The PHP settings reset to defaults. I had to go back in and modify them again. Kind of like when you buy a new computer. PHP is a system setting, and I had to go in and change it. It seems to be working now, please give it a shot and let me know...
