Hi! I heard about this through Mr. Bancroft. Have you given any thought to maybe having a theme or a pseudo-"assignment' we could complete on the walk? I'm happy having it be just relaxed and rule-free, too.
I'll be kickin' it Canon EOS A2 NOT-D SLR (I'm too poor to afford a good DSLR, so I'll bring a real one).
I will be there, talk trash about Mr. Bancroft's Nikon D40 with my Rebel XTI and my fancy-pants L-series lenses (j/k). This will be the perfect reason to buy a couple more 4GB CF cards and a 2nd battery.
Any specific plans for the shooting? coz after 4:00PM it's gonna be
fairly dark here, Pearl district night view is pretty good, and Portland
is good for bridge shot as well. I would like to find out a few spot for
Portland night skyline shot.
Behind OMSI is a good place for skyline shots, but there's not much around there otherwise. It is close to a bus stop (#83 I think?), but I think it's too far away from everything else in general, unless you want to shoot industrial.
After it gets dark, I'd highly recommend shooting the Pearl district and then the Bridges. Portland does a great job of lighting up their bridges for some gorgeous views...
Unfortunately I will not be there. However, I will be in Portland the weekend of the 14th, for family business. Does anyone want to meet with me to one of the days of that weekend?
