Lensbaby

Portland's grey winter skies can be a bummer but at least all the rain makes for fantastic waterfalls. I took a Sony NEX-3, Lensbaby Tilt Transformer and 35mm Nikon lens on a rainy hike in the Columbia River Gorge the weekend before last and shot a few flooded waterfalls while holding an umbrella over the camera.

Nice gorge series. Awesome conditions. #3 is really nicely composed.

Thanks for your comments. The pretty scenery makes it fun and easy(er) to take photos.

i like number one the most, the mystery and feeling of being in the deep is there! : )

Great series Michael, I really like the first image, composition, mood and the feeling of being there-well done!

I like the first and the second shot very much: the place seems to be wonderful !

Liked your pictures- beautiful place.

My husband loves the Columbia River--Your ferns are delightfully different.

I love using the tilt and the Nikkor 35/2 on my m4/3 bodies too. I esp. Like #1 and the ferns are lovely. I've shot with a tilt shift on my Canon bodies for years and love that with care I can use the tilt transformer/Nikkor lenses in the same way on my much smaller bodies. Nice group of low contrast sort of mystical shots.

Wow, thanks for all the positive feedback! I'd almost forgotten about these shots.

Beautiful pictures and scenery.

It looks like the person in red is taking a picture in the 2nd picture, wonder if you are in their picture? :)

A very appealing series. I wish we had these kinds of conditions here in Texas right now. The area reminds me a lot of places in western Norway where I'm originally from.
Love the hanging ferns in the last one.
