Notes: After working for an evening, catering to a wine club event, I received a bit of down time. And what else do I do with it? Fill it with photo taking pseudo-popular sunset shots! Oh JOY! 3 Shot HDR. +2,0,-2 Nothin' else to say about it really...

Notes: View from the parking lot of Stoller Vineyards winery / tasting room.

Notes: From an area along the BNSF railway, which was blocked from public use. Yes, I hopped a fence, big deal. Anyway... So, yeah - these are from the Puget Sound, up in Washington State, near the city of Edmonds. This whole summer has been unseasonably warm, and I'm lovin' it. Even though it's sunset / evening in these pictures, the temerpature was easily still in the upper eighties, even low nineties. Normally, it's hot if it hits eighty. Hardly a cloud in sight, unfortunately... I just hoped I could get a little more color out of the sky. I just headed up there to visit family and such. Questions, and comments greatly appreciated!

Notes: UPDATE July 19 - 3:09AM: So, after Geo-Tagging it, Flickr has come to the conclusion that the field this was taken in is located in Dayton, OR. Go figure. Taken just outside of Dayton, on the way to McMinnville, OR. I presume it's *technically* within the city limits of Dayton, but I don't really care. You make the call, it's Geo-Tagged. A word or six about the shot: Three exposures. -2, -1, 0. (Shooting higher than 0 was just pointless) because it would completely wash out the sky, and 0 got all the grass exposed just nicely) Each exposure was taken in RAW format. Tripod mounted. What else need I say?

Notes: So, the 4th of July is s'posed to be all bright, sunny, and perfect for fireworks, eh? Yeah, well, this is the Oregon Coast. A snowballs chance in hell that'll happen.
