Portland International Airport Departure Terminal at Sunset - HDR

Please click here to view this large!

This picture was shot on a tripod with nine exposures (-4..-3..-2..-1..0..+1..+2..+3..+4 EV). I used Photomatix to create the HDR with tonemapping and detail enhanced. I increased the overall saturation with Hue/Saturation in Photoshop. Curve adjustment to increase the overall contrast. 1 layer mask in soft light mode at 50% gray, using brush tool to lighten and darken some areas of the image, to bring out details. Used Nik Sharpener Pro to sharpen image.

This is another sunset shot of the Portland International Airport from the top of the short-term parking garage. Presented in full HDR!

The Wells Fargo and KOIN Centers in Downtown Portland.

The building at center is the 550' Wells Fargo Center. It is the tallest building in Portland while the building to the left, the "Koin Center" is third at a height of 510'

A stalled building, the Park Avenue West Tower, may or may not make the KOIN the fouth tallest. The lovely new skyscaper is currently scheduled to become the third tallest building in the city but thanks to the struggling economy, the struggling project may be reduced in height to resume work that came to a hault this spring.

Summer Love smells like gunpowder and barbeque--

--cotton candy and corn dogs,
fresh-cut grass and sun tan oil, swimming pool chlorine, fields of mint, and Jasmine blossoms.

Burning drag slicks, outboard motor fumes, tide pools. Charcoal on the grill, horses in a barn filled with fresh-mown hay--

Water from the garden hose.

Profile Pic

This is my new Facebook and Twitter profile picture (I've had the same Flickr profile pic for at least four years, so I think I'll stick with it). It's good enough for a small web picture but too blurry for anything else. I'll have to play around with the technique some more.

Portland International Airport Air Traffic Controller Tower at Sunset - HDR

Please click here to view this large!

This picture was shot on a tripod with two sets of nine exposures (-4..-3..-2..-1..0..+1..+2..+3..+4 EV). I used Photomatix to create the HDR with tonemapping and detail enhanced. Stitched together in Photoshop to create this panorama. I increased the overall saturation with Hue/Saturation in Photoshop.1 layer mask to increase the contrast of Mount Hood and the sky. Curve adjustment to increase the overall contrast. 1 layer mask in soft light mode at 50% gray, using brush tool to lighten and darken some areas of the image, to bring out details. Used Nik Sharpener Pro to sharpen image.

We were at the airport to pick up a friend, Allyson, who's visiting from Southern California. Her flight was delayed and we decided to park at top of the short-term garage to take some shots of the airport at sunset. I decided to do a panorama to capture Mount Hood and the moonrise on opposite sides of the air traffic controller tower. Presented in full HDR!

On the Table

Imagine going to a play where Act I takes place in two different locations simultaneously--a church in Northeast Portland and an elk ranch in Molalla. Then audience and cast from both locations take buses and meet in Oregon City for Act II, a wedding reception, where you are one of the guests. Urban and rural, family and history--cell phone calls to the audience on the other bus, music, a reception dinner featuring elk stew and strawberry shortcake--this isn't your usual night at the theatre.

Squatters on "Industrial Land"--

The nerve of these nesting herons, building their nests on West Hayden Island--woodlands that the Port of Portland has plans to develop as a shipping terminal.

The herons have been elbowed out of their previous favored rockery--by an environmental success story--bald eagles have colonized the towering cottomwoods that was the herons' favorite turf. Now, they're relocated to the west, where businessmen want to create a giant parking lot for importing cars from Japan (among other things)--at a rate 8 times what we're doing now, by 2040.

The Port recently handed over operation of their container shipping facility, Terminal 6, to an overseas shipper. They scuttled a state-of-the-art floating drydock the taxpayers bought for them--because they couldn't drum up the business for it. While other ports are full of US Navy ships receiving maintenance--Portland hasn't been able to put that deal together either.

The Port operates the airport, and has sown up access to the other big urban island in the Columbia River--Government Island--as part of the flight plan for their runways--a convenient ditching site should a plane get into trouble. The only public access to that island is by boat.

Now the Port is making another real estate grab. The Audubon Society, Columbia Riverkeepers, and other wildlife advocates are urging the city to keep the island in a natural state, as a refuge for the wildlife that remains, and as a marine recreation area for Portland residents.

An AFL-CIO spokesman claims that bureaucrats have already declared the spot "industrial land." A done deal. Just the herons, kingfishers, eagles, owls, deer, and red-tailed hawks will need to make the adjustment and get with the program. Me too. I'm another Hayden Island resident watching the inexorable evolution of my lovely little island into a gigando parking lot. With the I-5 freeway cutting north/south across us, and the Columbia flowing westward around us--we're at a vortex of a lot of diverse energy--migratory birds overhead, long-haul truckers blasting past at all hours. Soon, Portland officials will have a stewardship decision to make. The right choice will be one that must be defended again and again. The wrong one--well, look around--the smell of money is everywhere.
