Astoria, Oregon has so much to offer with its creative vibe and eclectic urban/coastal feel. I’ve already planned a second trip in the Spring to continue photographing the area. This photograph was made as a High Dynamic Range (HDR) using five shots—one at the correct exposure, then two under exposed and two overexposed—all with an ND filter attached to an 18mm–200mm Nikkor lens. Post was done using Camera Raw, Photoshop’s HDR Pro, and Topaz Labs. Looking forward to my next trip!

New posts from my shoot at Mt. Rainier National Park. That was an incredibly fun trip and I’m looking forward to my upcoming trip to Astoria, Oregon next month!
