Oregon - Always Beautiful, Rain or Shine

Nov 30

Written By Jim Nix

I am just back from Oregon, and once again it was fantastic!

As I said in a recent blog post here, I spent Thanksgiving up in lovely Oregon. It has been my favorite state for many years, and that feeling only increases each time I visit. I was in Portland for a few days, and then after that we were out at the coast. Regardless of the location, I always find something interesting to point the camera at.

While in Portland, I hit quite a few areas that I have previously just barely seen. I love shooting in cities, especially ones that I haven’t shot much before, and this was no different. While I didn’t get great conditions while in Portland (or at the coast, to be honest), I still came home with a bunch of new shots and I think quite a few that I consider keepers.

I haven’t really had time to go through them in depth yet - that’s something I will do this next weekend.

I also shot a LOT with my iPhone 12 Pro, which I also talked about here on the blog recently. That darn camera is pretty good, in fact it’s really good. I had no idea what I was missing until I got it. Now I can use it as a true 2nd camera most of the time, and the interesting thing is that I see compositions and views with it that I may never have thought of when using my Sony. It’s a joy to shoot with, and you can’t beat the convenience.

So all of today’s photos are iPhone shots. All are edited in Luminar AI (naturally). And of course I also posted these (and more) on my Flickr page if you want to see even more…

Now there’s just one thing left for me to do. Find another excuse to make a return trip to Oregon! I love it there!
