Foggy morning

Greetings from the Atlantic coast!
Out There Photography is now comfortably settled in with family for a few days in Myrtle Beach, SC. It's very nice to be staying in one place for a while and not having to pack up our gear every morning!
Before we arrived here, we had several very long days of driving, so we weren't taking as many photos as we did out West. However, when we left our campsite in southeastern Kentucky Saturday morning, we were greeted with prime photo-taking conditions.
Below are a few of our favorites from Cumberland Falls State Park and the surrounding area.

Enjoy!

Big Trip...Episode 1

Day five of our big roadtrip is just about over, and we at Out There Photography find ourselves holed up in a motel in Greeley, CO, recharging our batteries (literally and figuratively) and sorting through the over 1,500 photos we've taken so far.  Our trip has taken us through Oregon, Nevada, Utah, and Colorado, and so far we've seen forests, deserts, mountains, plains, rivers, lakes, streams, and much more.  And we still have another month of traveling ahead of us!

Here are a few of our favorite shots we've taken so far:

Sunset at Starvation State Park, UT

Wheeler Peak, Great Basin National Park

We'll post some more photos the next time we have wi-fi access.  Until then, look for text updates (and maybe a few cell phone pics) of our trip on our Facebook page.

Okay, we couldn't resist putting this one up, too.
Isn't he cute?

Columbia Gorge

Hello, folks!
Well, it's been quite a while since we posted anything on here, but there's a reason for that...two reasons, in fact.
First of all, we spent all of the long weekend up in the Columbia Gorge hanging out with friends, seeing a show, and of course, taking photos (see below). You get a double dose of photos tonight, and I have to say that whittling it down to only six photos was quite a challenge...we had a very successful trip!
The second reason is that, suddenly, we find ourselves less than thirty-six hours from the big, spectacular, epic Out There Photography Road Trip! Where has the time gone? We've been packing and organizing like mad, and will be ready to hit the road bright and early Friday morning.
Our plan is to post photos whenever we have wi-fi access, but we will also be updating our Out There Photography Facebook page via cell phone, so even though we might not be able to post photos every day, you'll at least be able to follow our progress across the country. :)
This will likely be our last post before we hit the road, so the next post will be from...hmmm, guess you'll have to wait and see!

Take care out there, and we'll see you on the road!

Bridges

We at Out There Photography have a fascination with bridges. They're functional, yes, but they're also fascinating examples of the marriage between art and engineering.
Here are a few of our favorite bridge shots, and if all goes to plan, we will have many, many more in the coming months.

P.S.
T-minus 10 days and counting til the big road trip. 25 states, 10,000 miles, national parks galore. Keep checking our homepage to see our progress!

Reflections

Sometimes life throws you a curve ball, an event, or series of events, that gives you cause to stop and think, to reevaluate and reflect. In honor of such moments, here are some photographic reflections...courtesy of Out There Photography.

Past Travels

We spent yesterday gathering and organizing supplies for the big road trip...t-minus 13 days and counting!
In honor of Out There Photography's upcoming adventure, here are a few photos from past travels.
Enjoy!

Logo Contest

Here at Out There Photography, we're fortunate to have many supportive friends and family members. Two of our friends were nice enough to each create a logo for us. We love them both, but we can't decide which one we love better. We toyed around with the idea of having two logos, but then we thought that, considering the huge amount of support we've had with our latest venture, we'd let our friends be the judge and put it to a vote.  Yay for democracy!  So here are the two logos in no particular order:

Logo #1:

Logo #2:

So what do you think?  Let your voice be heard by voting in the poll on the right hand side of the page(if you're reading this on Facebook or elsewhere, you'll have to go to our homepage--www.OutTherePhotography.com--to vote).  Thanks for reading, and check back soon for more photographic goodness!

Water Garden

It was a quiet day here at Out There Photography, which calls for some quiet photos. Enjoy!

Coastal Critters

Took a little drive out to the coast this afternoon. It was sunny, cool, and breezy...a nice escape from the 90-degree temps forecast for the valley.

P.S.
Out There Photography is starting to gear up for the big road trip...T-minus 17 days and counting!

Fair Fotos

Yesterday, Out There Photography took a trip to the Lane County Fair.
We checked out all the critters, listened to Joan Jett & the Blackhearts perform, wandered through the photography exhibit, and of course, took a whole lot of photos.
Here are a few of our favorites!

Salt Creek & Salt Creek Falls

Yesterday, Out There Photography took a drive up Hwy. 58 past Oakridge to Salt Creek Falls. In addition to taking a lovely hike and some exciting photos, we got to experiment with the settings on our cameras and test out our new toy...a neutral density (ND) filter, which enhances the blur effect of the water...fun, fun, and more fun!
Enjoy the photos!

Daily Double Dose

Alrighty, folks! Here are some photos from last night's travels, and as promised, it's a double dose.

First, we spent some time wandering around the University of Oregon campus. When you're a student, you don't have time to appreciate the beauty of the architecture, but now that we're both no longer students, it's easier to appreciate the marvelous architectural details and gorgeous landscaping.
From campus, we headed up to Skinner Butte, which is a hill that overlooks downtown and South Eugene.


P.S. We at Out There Photography would like to say thank you to all of you who visit our site! There are more adventures to come, so stay tuned...
