Sky is just amazing!
Everytime I've been to Oregon/Corvalis the weather has been very bad :(

I will say it again as I said somewhere else...very nice. stunning. :)

Wicked blue.

Good work!

Thanks for all the kind comments everybody.

Nemesis - You have your hit or miss days here in Oregon. When did you visit? If you want really nice weather, come out in the summer time, it's truly gorgeous.

that is absolutely beautiful. that blue is unbelieveable, great pictures man.

did you use any filters? polarizer?
what kind of cam?

Love the rich colours. Nice work.

I didn't use any filters or polarizer. I adjusted the brightness/contrast in photoshop.

Camera: HpPhotosmart945 digital camera, it's alright. I wish I had enough money for an digital SLR.

I was there twice.
First time it was early May of 2001 or 2002 and I stayed in Portland for a few days and it was pretty nice. Corvalis was rainy and cloudy all the time though.
Second time it was around x-mas time and the weather was the same...

Since I have a 10D now I can't wait to come back to Oregon.
And I need to re-shoot that HUGE statue downtown Portland that on top of the building. I can't remember the name of it. I had one but I lost it.

Yea, you need to come back during the summer time...it's really nice then.

Huge statue...hmmph can't think of it either.

It's "Portlandia". The biggest copper statue aside from Statue of Liberty.
Here's bunch of them:

Ahh yes, I have seen that before. Next time I'm in Portland I'll look for that.

Love these pictures, the color is so vivid and peaceful. Love your site too.

Thanks ThirdForce. I saw in your other thread that you go to ASU - I'm going to be in Tempe/Scottsdale for Spring Break...just thought I would let that slip out haha.

My site - ehhhh, isn't much haha. I'm working on a new layout, but I keep running out of free time =[.

Not bad for your first post eh!...I liked the blue sky one best
