The Valley Between Sutherlin and Umpqua in the Morning Mist

Heather and I set out on a new adventure to explore Southwest Oregon and Northwest California.  Our first destination was a drive down through the little valley between Sutherlin and Umpqua.

The mist and clouds hug the hilltops in the morning.

Many old barns stand sentinel in the area, reminding us of the past and progress toward the future.

This barn design must have been popular in the area.

Three barns in a row with the same general design!

Evening Clouds at Phi Delta Theta

Here is a short time-lapse looking out my bedroom window at Phi Delta Theta toward Impulse and the west.  The camera ran out of batteries about 2/3 of the way through the shoot.  Hopefully soon I will procure a plug-in power supply for my camera to enable more effective time-lapse photography.

Interestingly, I’ve discovered that my camera is limited to 100 exposures on the intervalometer setting.  To get around that, I would have to have the camera tethered to a laptop and hope that the laptop and camera remain in communication for however long I choose to shoot.  Oh, also the computer has to be running Windows XP as the software never was updated by Canon to run on Windows 7.  Someday I’ll get a newer camera… Maybe when this camera turns 10 years old.
