I think this is my favorite spot to take pictures of union station. Between the tracks guiding you into the station, the dramatic angles the location offers and having the view of an arriving train, its odd to me that I haven't seen more photos from this spot.
Perhaps it's that pesky "No Trespassing" sign...
This is fifteen of fifteen for my "One a day" project. Most posts were on time. A handful (including this one) we're late (but not too late!). All in all, I think that it's been a success and I fully intend to keep up the semi-constant posting of pictures here.
So what does the future hold? Several more pictures are already heading this way and will be up soon enough. Also, I have a couple of "how to" articles in various stages of development. Look for "Quality Photography on the Cheep: A 'How To' for the Hobbyist" and "Digital Post Processing (Without Breaking the Bank!)" coming soon! If you have ideas for other articles or things you'd like to see here, let me know! Either leave me a comment on this post or hit up my contact section.
It's been a fun little project, hope you enjoyed it!

Sunset Over Cape Lookout
The was a "oops we read the map wrong and there is no way what-so-ever that we can hike out to the cape and take sunset pictures so we should pull over at this viewpoint and grab the shot thats there rather then hike forever in the mud and in the dark only to not take any pictures at all cause we will have missed it" picture.

Lake Selmac
This is a nice little lake in southern Oregon, where we pulled off to take a break during a road trip. As we pulled over, the setting sun was bathing the snow covered hills in warm light. So I started walking along to lake, looking for a good spot. Eventually I found this place, but in order to get some kind of foreground I ended up having to take the shot laying back on the ground. Fortunately, I was able to frame a shot with out my foot in it!

Contemplating
After a couple tasty, Full Sail (made in this pub, woohoo!) beers, I decided to try my luck at taking an "action shot" of the business at the bar. Unfortunately, they really sucked. After regaining my confidence, I decided to try a shot of this unsuspecting bar patron. Which came out much, MUCH better then the previous shots. I like a couple of things about this shot, aside from just the overall. I really like the blur of the waitress working at the bar and I quite like that the "unsuspecting stranger" didn't move over the course of the 12 second exposure.
This was taken at the always classy Full Sail Pilsner Room at McCormick and Schmick's at Riverplace.
