This past Saturday was the last time Portland will see the sun for the next 300 days. I'm not even exaggerating. So. After I got my hair done at Dosha, I drove down to the riverfront, parked in a parking garage <shudder>, by myself <I could literally hear 'danger music'> and walked around snapping photos to my hearts content.
I've decided that I want to live here:
And gaze upon this:
And this:
I'll also Google basic f/stop for landscape BEFORE I go next time rather than after only to find out I should have shot at f/11 or f/13 rather than f/5.6. But I don't care. Why? Because I SHOT ENTIRELY IN MANUAL!!!!! I'm so proud of me! [can you tell?] ;)
These pictures are seriously gorgeous! I am glad you went...and survived. ; )

A true photographer will risk her life for a good shot. You are and you did. Nice!
