Well I'm back! We went out of town on a week camping trip to Brookings, Oregon. When we planned the trip we thought we would be beating the heat here in Cool. However, it was low temperatures here. Oh, well! We had three sunny days with some happy little clouds, and then on Friday it was cloudy but dry, and on Saturday it was drizzly all day. Then it was a repeat on Sunday.
We had a great time walking down on the beach twice a day with our dog Chica. Cruised the town and checked out some galleries - not that many in town. Met some great folks in the RV park - one of the women was also a photographer who sometimes showed her work right there in Brookings. I carried my cameras down to the beach in Brookings Harbor. We also drove up to Gold Beach, and we also visited Harris State Beach a couple of times: one of them at sunset.
Read some more of my Canon T2i manual, and programmed it to also take B&W photos, so I could switch back and forth between black and white and color. However, I was also taking black and white film photography when we were there - always gotta do that!
On Saturday was the Kite Festival (that we didn't know was happening until we got in town) and that was a lot of fun. We thought it was just about keeping a kite up in the air, but no, it was more than that. They flew the kites to music! That's right, choreographed to music! Dancing kites! Sweet! We were there for a couple of hours in the morning and got soaked, but I did get some photos. We also had great clam chowder in a bread bowl - nice and hot and delicious I must say. Ron wanted to go ask the vendor for his recipe!
I just uploaded about 150 photos to my PC and am sharing some with you today. Before I left I ordered some books on alternative photography processes from Barnes & Noble. Received the big one titled "Alternative Photographic Processes" by Christopher James. Really am anxious to delve into that one!
