Passing through Port Angeles

in street on November 18, 2018 November 18, 2018

After staying the night at the Deer Park Campground overlooking Hurricane Ridge (and having a delicious egg and bacon breakfast!), we headed back down the tight twisty mountain road back to Port Angeles. I’ve never actually spent any time in Port Angeles at all and since Ian still wanted to work on some photo skills, we decided to check it out and go on a photo walk.

Weird octopus sculpture.

Shapes and lines in a back alley

Horse in a window

Wig with reflections in the window

Directions in a dumpster

Texture and layering. Abstract.

Looking for an interesting background for this flower

Lining up the flower so the light showcases it

Mountain

Cat

Row of blue windows on a red building with random light pole thrown in

Old coke bottles in an antique store

The old movie theater

Using the background to properly showcase the subject

Jason in a landscape

Using framing to highlight the woman sitting at the table

They got happy on lock

This is a lot cuter when you’re actually in Paris

Interesting background, so I made Jason stand there in his bright orange coat

Framing Jason with the tree

A third shot without the tree. Always a good idea to find a nice background and then find a way to use it.

We practiced finding leading lines, the rule of thirds, and backgrounds. Overall I think it was a successful venture and now I at least have a fun picture of Jason! I’m always up for a photo walk!
