Fall adventure tunel - a photo on Flickriver

            Landscape photography is getting trendy.  Its hard to stand out.  This is especially true with locations.  There are many beautiful locations in the world.  In many of these, almost anyone can point a camera at the right scene and it will be stunning.  I know this because when the conditions are right to shoot a cetrtain scene, I find there are 10 other photographers there too.  Look at Tunnel View on a good night (hell, any night).  So I am trying to shoot emotion more often.  People get charged by different scenes, different pre-charged memories.  My sister loves barns, some love the open road, others love fields of flowers.  These do not need to be iconic, you don't have to have Mt. Fuji in the background to evoke these pre-charged emotions in people.  So I am trying to look for everyday scenes that can be processed in a way that evokes these emotions.  Not that I will ignore Multnomah Falls, don't get me wrong.  But this is a good way to be able to shoot more often.  

This is one of those scenes.  Not so special.  Its just an old train trestle on the way out to Vernonia.   But the colors communicate more than just color, it hopefully evokes feelings of fall, sharpened pencils, dusty jackets returning to main rotation, storing the boogie boards and getting down the snow shoes.  At the same time, the road, I hope, makes you feel free.  This image pulls you into the light.  The road, inviting, the bend after the trestle?  Who knows!  Adventure.  Adventure in the cold.  You, the wheel, a tank of gas, cold air outside, and endless opportunity.  

This is a 5 image HDR stack, processed in photoshop and light room with luminosity masks and the back door wide open so I shivered while I processed it.  I love the cold!  Enjoy fall.  Get out in it.
