![]() Portland is also a great place to shoot photos. The colors are spectacular when all the sails and kites are flying and you can shoot them catching great air on a windy day. Lots of waterfalls in The Gorge and I highly recommend heading down to Event Park in Hood River to shoot photos of the kiters and windsurfers. In The Gorge, Hood River would be a great base for photography excursions in The Gorge and also up around Mt Hood. ![]() At the coast you may want to base yourself in Newport or Yachats for a few days and take day trips from there. The Oregon Coast warrants a good 3 days, especially for a photographer. Oregon covers a lot of ground and it has mountains, rivers and lakes that create natural detours, if you will. In only 12-13 days, you will have a very difficult time seeing the entire state, especially if your time frame includes travel days. WIth regards to accommodation, in our previous USA travels we found Courtyard by Marriott, Days Inn and similar family chains to be more than adequate, and would prefer not to spend more than, say, USD 140.00/night for a single room with 2 queen beds. I don't mind driving long distances during the day, but would prefer not to be constantly on the move with all the luggage, so I am asking the local experts for advice on 3 or 4 different places to "base camp". Late afternoon aside, I tend to concentrate my shooting around sunrise, when the rest of the party still sleeps, in order to be with them in time for breakfast, so I'd like to spend the nights near the best photo opportunities. I am very keen on landscape photography with a heartfelt passion for USA National Parks, so I want to spend a large amount of time in the best photo spots.Īccording to the info gathered since now, partly thanks to the forum, I feel I should travel most of the state in order to shoot the many waterfalls in the Columbia River Gorge, Mount Hood, Crater Lake, Hell's Canyon, Steens Mountain and of course the longest stretch of coast I'll be able to drive in the available time. My favorite landscapes include the unknown expanses and little-visited mountains of rural New Mexico, the canyons of Dinosaur National Monument, and the vast wilderness of Central Idaho.Hi, I am from Italy and will be visiting Oregon for the first time with my family from 8/18 and 8/31. Photographically, I travel light and prefer to shoot off pavement and explore unknown locations. ![]() I am currently living with my wife and son in the Palouse region of eastern Washington. Meanwhile, I studied classical literature, philosophy and history of mathematics at St. After high school, I began guiding for ARTA River Trips, and my interest in photography gradually rekindled as I endeavored to share with friends and family my work in the finest landscapes of the American West. I studied black and white photography in high school, under an excellent teacher, but failed to apply myself. ![]() My other major influence has been my step-father, Stephen Bodio, a nature writer, falconer and traveler, and as fine a family member as I could hope to have. I ran my first river at nine months old, and have been hiking and backpacking longer than I can remember. Both my parents guided for Outward Bound. I come from mountaineering families on both sides: my maternal grandfather was a pioneering climber in the Sierra Nevada, while my father guided in the Tetons and climbed in China and Nepal. Born in New Mexico, raised in Wyoming and Montana, the mountain west has always been my home. ![]()
