First Camping Trip from City

[orb9220]

Been 11yrs? Since I have been out of city to the Beautiful outdoors of Oregon.
And never been out since getting into photography in Nov. 07'

And was a 3 day event up the Columbia Gorge.
First shots was the first ever taking pics from a moving vehicle.
And was a challenge in itself.

First image morning drive up the gorge.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/orb9220/4997404400/Did a complete set.
of 96 images. Click on slideshow at top right for a chronological order.

Hoping to at some point get to the beach. But don't drive due to a bad ticker.
But thought I would share the experience. As it was a positive experience.
And gave me much needed practice.

Hope something there for you to enjoy or give feedback on.
Feel free to give honest C&C. And no I am not one of those defensive sensitive types.
But like honest feedback even the negative?
Don't like that descriptor as others finding the flaws in my images makes me a better photographer.

Thanks.

Love the use of aerial perspective. The only obvious flaw is the lack of level horizon.

Did a travelogue type for those busy and don't like to travel to another site to view.

Started out on a 3 day trip up columbia gorge. What made it exciting was haven't been out of downtown portland in the 3yrs I started in this hobby. And been 12yrs since I been out to nature. So was a new type journey for me.

And due to a bum ticker don't drive. So was fun learning to shoot from a car.

Day 1 was both fun & exhausting for this old fart. Sitting around the campfire I think I strained some flab.
as I gobbled down some Chicken.

And lazily dozed to the sound of the campfire. Saying AHhhh!
