Please don't ever stop thinking that.

A couple more from the same evening. Prowling the streets of Portland at midnight is...interesting.

I'm not a photography expert, but my 14 yo daughter is an aspiring one. She took this one of the sunset back on our lake while fishing over the weekend.

Nice colors, but look out for the 'level horizon' police! ;-)

99% of the photos she takes intentionally are taken at an angle. It's a teenage thing I think.

mtnbiker's talking about me. 99% of landscape shots taken at an angle should be leveled as they look 999% better that way. In almost all cases a non-level horizon is at best a distraction, at worst it means a viewer will simply dismiss it as uninteresting and move on.

That is a fantastic photo. I love the colour in the windows, off to the right—the composition on the whole is sublime, in particular how the blues and teals are contrasted against the orange netting. Your other night time images are also lovely: excellent exposure and composition.

It's Thanksgiving weekend. The weather has been so nice, we went up north. Here are a few shots from yesterday evening:

... I created a flickr account, but can't seem to link the images—any suggestions?

OK, guess I need to use the BBcode links:

Use the share button, then click on the "BBCode" heading. Pick the "large" size (at least that's what I do). Copy that and paste it into your post, you may want to edit out your name.

Edit: nvm, too late

mtnbiker, for the record, here I don't mind the tilted horizon!

Thanks, this is one of my favorites. I was walking to get another vantage point of the bridge, saw this and immediately started trying to figure out the perspective I liked the most. Finally sat down and there it was. Most of the images are either 3 or 5 frame composites. This one was 3 frames. It's was much better to not have the lights be washed out whites. Makes carrying the tripod worth it when you combine the images on the computer and it works out exactly as hoped.

Whoa. Back up. What do you mean by "our lake"? And what kind of fish?
