sunset, south waterfront

south-waterfront-sunset-panoramaI’m just now getting around to processing some of the images I’ve shot in the past year (things have been really busy), and this morning, I came across this one, a two-image panorama taken in February from the balcony in our old place. I loved (and still miss) the Richard-Scarry-esque views we had from the apartment; it truly was like watching the city pass by every day.

I did some lens correction on this inside Photoshop, to take the bend off the shed at the bottom of the frame. (I had to be careful, though; it’s easy to overdo the distortion correction.) I also worked with a few crop variations here–the original images had the OHSU building looming at the left of the frame–and this one seems like the best fit overall.

Matt Kloskowski, Hudson Henry, Brian Matiash and I drove out to the Oregon Coast yesterday to photograph Thor’s Well, a well-known landmark (part of Cape Perpetua) that is spectacular at high tide. We had hoped for an epic sunset–which wasn’t to be–but we still had a great time. I’d go into more detail, but Hudson has an excellent recap on his blog about our exploits here, so pop over there for more photos and fun.

It was quite a day. We started out at Oneonta Gorge with wetsuits and dry bags to shoot the lower falls, and then high-tailed it out to the coast for sunset, getting back home and to bed after 1 a.m. I’m still working through images, but it felt good to be back out with a camera in my hand. (I see that Matt has already posted his keeper from the Oneonta shoot; mine will probably go up in the next couple of days.)

We had a lovely time in Hawaii. We spent the weekend in Honolulu, where Susan had a race, and then a week in Maui, mostly relaxing. I didn’t shoot as much as I would have liked, but I did get a few shots here and there that I liked.

This couple was having a blast, waiting for the waves to break over the seawall, then bracing themselves as they crashed overhead.
