To all of you that sent me notes and sent your comments to my post over in the General section, thank you very much.Normally after I went out on a shoot I would put some of the shots up on my site for dad to get in and look at. Most of the time he wouldn't say much unless there was one he really liked. If I got an email saying "Send me the big version of **" I'd know that shot made the grade and it would end up being wallpaper. Most of the images below have been posted in the past but there are many new names in here as of late so I'd like to repost them.
Dad's favorite outdoors place was the coast. His picks there were:
Oregon Coast Beach After a Storm.
Fishing Boats at Newport Oregon (B&W)
Cape Blanco Light on a Foggy Morning.
Gull In The Mist, Yachats Oregon
The Oregon Cascades probably came in second to the coast. He never got over to Central Oregon much but did like it over there too.
Smith Rock in Central Oregon was a place he hadn't been but did want to go.
He always said rivers should sparkle and not look like a blur. Pool on Roaring River was more to his liking.
The last two shots tie into the photo of dad who really hated having his picture taken but actually asked me to take this one of him. As you can see he was pretty up on current technology. This was taken on a trip he went with me to hike the Proxy Falls trail. There is a campground across the road from the trail head and we went over there to have lunch after our walk in. The reason for the hike is for shots like these:
Lower Proxy Falls and Fall color on Proxy Falls Trail.
Thanks for looking and again, thank you for the notes and kind words.
Mike
