Oregon Photo Walks
United States
Приєднався 19 лип 2024
We are active senior citizens who love photography and the great outdoors. Combined we have over a century of photographic experience. To date ourselves, we started with film in a time that each shot cost money, mandating learning the rules of composition as quickly as possible. Both of us spent our weekly allowance developing our film. We both progressed and evolved as the photographic world changed, starting with 35mm film, eventually graduating to mirrorless cameras.
When we retired, we relocated from Nevada to the southern Oregon coast. We love it here and feel as though we are living in a paradise, where there is beauty to be photographed every time we step out the door.
Our goal with this channel is to share the natural beauty that is Oregon. We express that beauty with our walks using our photographs and videos to showcase our home state. As retired teachers we have to teach and help those around us find that beauty as well.
Coos Bay Boardwalk
Photo Walk on the Coos Bay Boardwalk! A little something different from our usual photo walks. You'll see the boardwalk with the Veteran's Memorial, the historic "Koos No. 2", the marina, as well as working tugboats on the bay. The port of Coos Bay is very important to the state of Oregon and is a great source of revenue. It's also a place of incredible beauty and photo ops abound!

Foggy Day Photo Walk on the Oregon Coast
Переглядів 322 місяці тому
A foggy day on the Oregon Coast? Yes, but these conditions are perfect for black and white photos. So we decide to get out into the fresh air and we visit two locations. First stop is Simpson Reef, a haven for marine wildlife with the beautiful Pacific Ocean as the backdrop. Next up is Lighthouse Lookout, every visitor's favorite. We've met people from all over the world on the trail when we go...

I took my 28-400mm Z lens to NYC!

I only had to take one lens instead of three! I was able to pack light since I was only taking one lens for my camera. I saw some things on my bucket list and took a boat tour around the harbor. This was my first trip to NYC and I got all the shots I wanted to get. It's good to be back on the left coast but wow, what a trip! We're a couple of active senior citizens who love photography and the ...
Photo Road Trip!!
Переглядів 292 місяці тому
I did a road trip on the Oregon Coast from Coos Bay to Florence! My mission was to photograph egrets and osprey in their early morning rituals. This video takes you through several small coastal towns on Hwy 101 and then we arrive at our destination to see what we could see. You'll also get to see video of the Reedsport drawbridge opening up to let a ship through. Rick was out of town for a con...

New Nikon 28-400mm Z Lens, Review & First Photos
A nice video and the use of the Nikon Z5 body with the 28-400mm lens. I lived in New York city for a couple of years and I agree with you about the driving there, your images of the places you visited are well composed and look well done with that lens. I have the Z5 it is my first Z camera and now also the Z7-2 I have three Z lenses and this long zoom is something I have been contemplating to buy, I like zoom lenses and when used properly they deliver. Have you found that at the corners is a bit soft? Thank you for the video well done.
It's soft.
I'm about to purchase this lens myself - great and realistic review! (btw...welcome to the dark side - the mirrorless world! LOL 🙂)
Thanks for the feedback. I have enjoyed this lens and it really has helped me embrace the "dark side"! Mirrorless took a bit of getting used to, but I think the raw quality of my photos is higher. I hope you enjoy this lens as much as I do.
It shoots everything but nothing will be particularly stunning. Images always end up looking too flat and lifeless just like the 24-200
I'm sorry you are having that result. I have been happy with this lens and it lives on my Z5. Don't give up, keep shooting!
Do people crab off the boardwalk?
I'm not sure. I don't remember seeing anyone crab off the docks. You might check the Visitor's center for more information. I have seen many people crabbing and clamming a few miles south in Charleston.
Another interesting and beautiful video. Many greetings fom Germany.
Thank you very much! And greetings from Oregon. We are glad you enjoy our channel.
Thanks for this no nonsense demonstration of the 28-400 capabilities.
You're welcome and thanks so much for the feedback.
😊Nice Video and nice coast. I live at the Baltic Sea in northern Germany. I like the other videos too. That's why I subscribed to your channel and look forward to more great videos from your hometown.
Thank you so much!
YOu spent most of video talking about your first video, Reboxing LOL
Im loving the 28-400, I even decided to shoot some motorsports with it during car week and during the day time theres absolutely zero reason this lense cant keep up with more specific lenses catered to specific ranges. The flexibility of this lense to go from walking around the pits of the track too shooting on the track the reach is fabulous. The vignetting can be a bit much during the day at the longer ends of the lense but it adds character!
I'm glad you are enjoying this lens too! I enjoy using my 28-400mm shooting soccer at the local college. I am faster and move quicker than the other shooters with big glass on monopods and can cover the whole field easily. I think my shots are as good as and you can't beat the convenience.
That’s lovely ❤
Thank you!
Wunderschön ❤️
Thank you! :)
Really impressive pictures from NYC. I was able to get a very good impression of the possible uses of the NIKON Z 28-400mm. Thank you very much for that! Best regards from Germany.
We're very glad to hear that! Thanks so much for the feedback, much appreciated.
Oregon- enjoyed-well content.
Thank you!
A nicely presented laid back approach.
Thanks, much appreciated!
These are all really good tips, and the pictures y’all took are beautiful
Thanks for your comment, much appreciated!
Thank you so much for this review. I'll keep following, because you give such useful information. All the best!
Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated!
Wow!✨😍
Had 21 deer in my back yard every day
That's awesome, you're so lucky!
Great report! My only holdback about this lens is it does not start at 24mm like my 24-200. I really appreciate the extra width when bopping around.
Thanks! I'm really enjoying the lens too and find the that I need the extra width at times as well. I'm thinking of adding the Nikkor Z14-24, F4 S to my kit for those epic images. I had toyed with getting the F2.8, but for the extra cost I can use one of my legacy lens for a bokeh.
Hey Oregon, my name is Johnny and I'm a freelance logo designer, currently I'm looking for more works, do you love to have a logo for your channel's branding to have a memorable graphic based monogram logo to help your audience recognise and follow your channel easier? I would love to design a photography themed logo inspired by your direction for you! Let me know if you interested to make it happen! :-)
Thank you for the offer, we just started and may do this in the future. We'll keep you in mind.
This is one of my favorite parts on that trail system! Such a beautiful spot. This video made it felt like I was on the walk with you!
It is a beautiful part of the park! We're glad you felt like you were walking with us.
Great photos at the end. The one of the squirrel is my favorite!
Thanks! Yep, Bruno is a tuff character that really was not happy we were there, or maybe he wanted compensation for posing!
I have this lens and LOVE it! Photographed my Granddaughter's Flag Football games and no matter the focal length, I get sharp photos. Great review!!
Thanks for sharing! That's awesome, I'm glad you're enjoying it as much as I do.
