New Wallpaper Pics
 

Not my finest work. Heavy winds and rain took their toll on these pics I shot yesterday. The trees and bushes are blurry. Overall I'm not very happy with these shots but I'll share them anyway.

This year has been one of the heavier rain years on record in Oregon. Although it's usually pretty green, it's even greener this spring.

WTF Oregon looks like THAT? I need to travel more.

cool photos :thumbsup

oooo where do you live in Oregon? I really want to move there after visiting last year (Ashland), planning to scope out Portland soon to see if I would like to move around that area :D

The first pic was taken about 30 miles East of Portland and the 2nd was taken 51 miles East. Both in the Columbia River Gorge.

How do you like living there?

It sucks 9 months out of the year.

Pretty depressing area of the country actually. High suicide rates because of it.

If you like cold, rain, hippies, and micro breweries, go ahead and move here.

haha well I live in AZ, and its hot (we are in the 110s now) and never rains lol. So that would be nice. And we're all into the organic/hippy-ness so sounds like we would fit in haha

I have a place in AZ, a place in Vegas, and a place in Portland.

I'd move to NorCal if they didn't have such stupid gun laws.

WAY too much rain in the PNW.

great looking pictures.

Yes, sometimes, hell no and HELL YES. I'm there.

Nice and lush. Were the pics touched up at all? Looks awesome regardless.

Yeah, a little bit. Didn't adjust the color or contrast at all.

Because it was raining hard there was a white "film" covering the picture (streaking rain). I used the burn tool to remove it but the rain still washed a lot of the detail out. Then I ran it through unsharp mask.

A Photoshop artist, I am not.

Nice slow-exposure photos!!!

I love the foggy effect over the water. Great work :)

It looks awesome. The one at the bottom is my new wallpaper now. Thanks, Aaron. Awesome photography skills, man!

I like all of those things. I should move there.

Great photos, thanks

wow great photos

Depends on where in the PNW you live. I grew up in south eastern WA, which is desert. We traded rain for sand storms.

Breathtaking pics, very nice. A welcome change from the normal T & A wallpapers we normally see here :)

very nice!:)

wallpaper stuff for sure.

both look great! :thumbsup

Nice shots as always...thanks for sharing ;)

I actually found myself by a waterfall here in Oregon a week ago and was going to call you to get the right technique to shooting the fluffy water shots.

hit me up in the morn to discuss!

great wallpapers

seems so peaceful...

Slooooooooooow shutter speed for starters. I've been trying to get this one too! :winkwink:

looks beautiful there

That's a beautiful view, thanks for sharing.

Very nice shot...

beautiful.... :thumbsup

Beautiful :thumbsup

awesome pics doode!

nice shots dude :thumbsup

beautiful photos - looks like there should be faeries and leprechauns running around. Oregon looks like Ireland or Scotland.

our Portland friends want us to move there... that commentary is hilarious. :1orglaugh

for some reason a few of our New Orleans friends have settled over there, its like they left hot depressing for cold depressing. :upsidedow

that is extremely impressive I love what you did with the shutter speed to get the water like that. I will be replacing my hubble photo of the crab nebula with one of these pics

Stunning shots! :thumbsup
