Pouring Panoramic Pacific Northwest





















I hiked to three different waterfalls today. The first picture is Punch Bowl falls. The second is Panther Creek falls. The third and fourth pictures show Panther Creek a few yards above the falls. The second to last photo is of Metlako falls. It was a rainy overcast day and it was a challenge to keep the raindrops and mist off the lens, especially at Panther Creek falls, that place had mist like crazy. It wasn't the best lighting and a lot of the plants and trees still look drab up here but it was still a fun day of taking pictures and hiking in the beautiful Columbia River Gorge.

Are you a lot like me? A little disappointed in how I turned out?


I participate in an online photography group on Flickr where you get paired with another photographer from somewhere out in the interweb and you look over each other's photographs and then issue a challenge to the person that will push their comfort level as a photographer. Since I do only landscape photos it is a fun way to expand my hobby and a cool way to meet other photographers from around the world. This month I was challenged by an older lady from northern California to do a self portrait. It feels odd to take pictures of myself, but it turned out to be a fun experiment. I spend way too much time sitting in front of the computer and so for my self portrait I wanted to see what I look like as I sit for hours reading Magnum, P.I. fan fiction and watching videos of stranger's colonoscopies.
