Monochrome and a splash of color!
Up Memorial day morning at 4:00 a.m. flew out of Louisville and arrived in Portland at 10:40 Pacific time with a stop in Midway. Jack picked me up at the airport and we made the 6 hour drive to Bandon for our workshop that starts tonight. I got 10.5 hours sleep last night, the last night for such a long rest until I get home next Monday night, awe, the life of a workshop provider and itinerant blog poster!
On the way down yesterday Jack showed me where he made of of my favorite shots of his of old 1940’s Chevys. His shot is better and in better light, a better image, but I did the best I could under the circumstances!
We went out this morning and did a little “plinking”, that’s what I call warm up shooting, hope you enjoy the results, mostly monochrome.
and a little color!
It’s great to be back on the Oregon coast with Jack, and looking forward to meeting our new group tonight. I’ll try to keep you posted!
Blessings,
the pilgrim

Welcome to Oregon! I took my oldest daughter to go bird watching along the coast while you were heading to Bandon. In the process near Lincoln City I got a pic of a Bald Eagle posing like on the American money in a fir tree. Then at Yaquina Head Interpretive parking lot I seen a lot of birders with huge camera lenses pointed at the cliffs. I got a pic of a Peregrine Falcon feeding three fledglings. I unfortunately cannot justify spending the money for the Fuji 100-400 so I used a recently acquired 300 f/4 Pentax K-mount (no Auto) and as best as I could manually focused. I definitely need more practice and what great birds to practice on. Very hot week this week so at least the coast will be very nice for temperatures. Enjoy the coast.
Thanks so much, I am!!!!
