Out on the Portland Streets again loving the fall weather.

It was a beautiful friday in Portland so fellow Photographer Briana Cerezo and I hit up downtown to meet people and take some photos. I missed some opportunities, but overall it was totally worth just being out people watching.

Meet-up photo walk in Portland | 500px
I received this email on Wednesday or Thursday for this meet-up ( worldwide ) photo walk hosted by 500px. I previously registered for Scott Kelby's Worldwide Photo Walk that has 50 people registered, and probably more expected to show. I got to the walk this morning and was greeted by three older men. Not quite what I expected but they were of good energy and fun to talk to, making the walk overall enjoyable.
Here are a few shots from the walk. I don't do a lot of street photography but plan on playing around with it a bit more. You never know what you'll see in Downtown Portland.

Self portrait lighting practice
A little serious, but its not about the connection for me here. I broke out all my speedlites for this one to see what I would get. Two lights in the back for the highlights, key light in the top right and a fill light through an umbrella lower left.
Experimenting is fun, and one of the best, and my favorite things. This always helps me find new looks, and gets me closer to finding my style. Still waiting for that one to hit me.
