Weinhard Hotel Photography from 2009.

In 2009, my Stepmother passed away, so I came home on leave.  Dad put myself and my oldest son Chris up in the Weinhard Hotel.  During my stay there I took advantage of the photographic opportunities afforded by the hotel.

I have seen a lot of talk about the Weinhard Hotel on the "All Things Dayton, WA" Facebook page so I thought sharing my photographic perspective from my stay might be enjoyable to folks from Dayton.

These are some detailed photographs of the Weinhard Hotel interiors.  Click on the photographs to see more detail.  (If you desire copies or copied files of these photographs please contact me.  Please don't just copy the photos without asking permission.)  

Details of the foyer and then the upstairs.

    

Coming down the staircase this is what you would see.

Some details of items in the foyer.

Photographs of the halls of the upstairs and some details.

One of the items from the room I stayed in.

There was a rooftop patio, which was really unique and beautiful.  Photographs include details and the train caboose viewed from that patio. 

I hope you enjoyed this photographic journey into my perspective.

Elk Close to Home

It has been a while since I posted anything on this blog.  I guess I've been in a little bit of a dry spell.  But an opportunity arose on Wednesday, June 6, 2018, and I had to take it.  My Son and I were heading home from Walla Walla and as we rounded Dumas Station Winery this is what we saw.  

  
On the technical side of the photography, I made a lot of mistakes during this shoot.  So for any of you technical photographers, I did not, crop or edit anything on purpose.  
These were taken with my Canon EOS Rebel XT using a 70-300mm lens at 300mm, ISO 400 and 800, at average shutter speeds of 1/4000, aperture around 16.  The last two are guesses although I have the means to check that data later.  We were 75 yards away and I took the shots through an open window in my truck.

The Indian Timothy Memorial Bridge Photography Project - 5 July 2014

While on a trip in July of 2014 I discovered this historic sight I never knew about.  8.7 Miles West of Clarkston Washington, just South of highway 12 is the Indian Timothy Memorial Bridge.  

Here is a Link to a Washington State Department of Transportation article about the bridge.

When I go on road trips like the one I was on, I look for opportunities to photograph interesting places and things.  This was one of those opportunities.

This is a Google Earth image of the location:

Here are my images of The Indian Timothy Memorial Bridge:

20th Annual All Wheels Weekend at Dayton Washington.

The 20th Annual All Wheels Weekend was June 13th, 14th, and 15th.

I believe there were well over 400 cars in this event, and I tried to photograph as many of them as I could, however my time was limited so I captured as many as I could in 1 hour.

The following are the resulting Photographs.
