OceanRevive Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I am new to portland, just moved up here three weeks ago. Portland is so pretty in Fall. The mountain and forest are colorful. Does anyone know where is the good place to take the picture? I have found a couple place where is good for portrait shots but not for landscape pictures.

pledosophy Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 What kind of landscapes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Head out to the gorge. Should get a lot of colorful trees and waterfalls. Or go to the beach and stop into the state parks along the coastline. Silver Creek Falls State Park has a lot of trails with nice veiws.

OceanRevive Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 Thanks for the suggestion, I hope the rain will stop some day before all the leaves falling off. I would like to try the gardens first then head to the gorge. Anyone tried the downtown churches and small parks? They look very nice. Reef165, I have seen those picture as well. Those picture can be taken any time of a year because it is dark,lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanRevive Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 Steelhead,could you please ask you buddy for the places where he took the pictures? They are very stunning. It looks like not so many photographers gave a shot in downtown. cwinson85, do you want to give it a try as well? I have peeked a couple places already.

steelhead77 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Faith, I will find out some of those locations and let you know. In the meantime, here's one of downtown Portland my buddy took a few months ago. Terrific exposure on this shot. Check out the train and the white car. http://www.flickr.com/photos/31672646@N08/3245043420 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanRevive Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 Steelhead, thanks for asking. He has a real solid tripod. My tripod is still in the storage room. I can not make any night shots. BTW, this is my wife's ID, I couldn't get the confirmation email when I registered here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
