[Music] Hello and thank you very much for listening to this episode of the Billy Newman Photo Podcast. I’m talking about a photograph that I made on the Oregon coast today doing Blue Hour probably. I think it was after the sun had set. It was sort of like the golden hour to talk about right as the hour as the sun is setting into sunset. The blue hour they also talk about as after the sun goes down there’s a lot of those blue kind of purple tones that show up in the atmosphere or you know in the clouds and in the water. There’s just a lot more of that tone as the sun drops and it’s a spectrum shift from what we see in the daylight to what we see at night time. But I think this was a photograph taken on the Oregon coast. I think your band-in if I’m right. And I really liked this photo. It just had it wasn’t really a big structure in the wave or a big curl or anything like that. That would be that’d be really striking but I really appreciate this photograph as kind of a close-up look at I just sort of the dreamy feeling of being on the coast. But it was definitely a photograph that I liked a lot and I like that line in the skies as it cuts across as you can kind of see at the top there there’s a bit of like a cloud break that goes down and that’s where we get a lot of that light from the sky in the background that kind of cuts underneath that big brim of cloud that goes over the top of the snet that causes a lot of bounce from the ground back up to the sky and then back down and you get a cooler or you get a defused sort of soft light in that effect which I think is really cool. You can see more of my work at billyneuminphoto.com. You can check out some of my photo books on Amazon. I think you can look up billyneumin under the authors section there and see some of the photo books on film, on the desert, on surrealism, on camping. Some cool stuff over there. Finished up that camping trip I was doing up the mountain creek there in the cascades a couple days ago. That was that like Wednesday. I think it was like maybe like Tuesday, Tuesday night to Wednesday morning. I think that was this super moon that was coming up that night if I remember right and that was pretty cool. It was cool to see the full moon up there and they always talk about the super moon which is kind of a I don’t know it’s a little bit of a misnomer but it’s cool to see too that I think they talk about happening every six months or so. Really it’s just kind of the oscillation of a bit of the eccentricities and the orbit of the moon that make it I think about 25,000 miles closer that it’s maximum and then maybe about 25,000 miles further away and it’s distant maximum but I think it’s really like a little bit of a

It's definitely an interesting vector, kind of using the progression of technology and artistic creativity to try and make new pieces of media to put out and that's what I really like about ne

Thanks a lot for listening to this podcast. If you're in the northwest or anywhere on the west coast, and if you're probably anywhere in America, I'm sure you've heard about the wildfires that are going on here in Oregon. And if you're on the west coast, as west of the Cascades, I'm sure you've been inundated with smoke for the last week or so, just about like most of this last week, I think since, like Labor Day, it's been pretty intense here. It's been just smoke all through the valley. And I think smoke all the way down to California. Now, I guess I was just reading that there's smoke that's now Kind of pushed out all the way to Michigan. I think a scene and satellite photos are really interesting satellite imagery. I don't know if you guys have been able to see that. There are also some like time-lapse captures of the satellite imagery. And it's really interesting to Kind of see the changes and how the weather was working during the period of time with those wildfires took off. But as a quick rundown, I'm sure there have been better, better news outlets than I am to give you the rundown of the facts of the fires. But yeah, it seems like it's a historic amount of burn. And just a couple of days. I think they've mentioned that it's now more than 1 million acres have bu

I hope everybody's doing well. Thanks a lot for checking out this episode. I wanted to talk a little about the start of September, some of the stuff I've been up to. It's cool, and I just finished a roll of film here pretty recently. Like I think during this last week when I was out traveling around, and I haven't finished a roll of film in a while, I've been shooting mostly on the digital camera that I've got kind of moved over to canon equipment back in 2018. And I've been shooting with that for, and I guess now almost two years is what it's coming up too. And so, during that time, I picked up a Canon film camera.And I've been using the Canon lenses that I have for my digital camera. On the Eos system over on an older canon film camera from I think the late 90s is what I was able to pick up. So I went over on like kth comm. I think this was this is probably like nine months ago or so at the beginning of the year. And I picked up a really inexpensive Canon camera body was like $35, something like that, to, to pick up this camera, mostly plastic in the body, but it has a bunch of the manual controls that you would expect from the sort of mid-range SLR sort of like the five D Mark, or you know, the five D Mark, the five D line, you know, whatever when you want to pick, but it's not the full professional build model. But it's definitely not the lower-end one. So yeah, it has like kind of the same layout of buttons and stuff on it as you can get with the more modern layout of cannon buttons and stuff. So most of it's really the same as it kind of translates back from one to the other. But it's a cool, pretty simple camera, and it's got, I think, like three focus points, three autofocus points on the inside. And that works fine for t

Made a cup of coffee this morning, and I'm out at that peak of the mountain out in Eastern Oregon. Pretty cool spot up here that I was able to get to. I was looking around on the map. And I was able to find some spots that were old lookout towers like I guess they were like old like fire lookout towers for when there would be lightning strikes or other starts of fires for forest fires in the area. I have driven to a couple of them before, seven in Northern California. I'll talk about those in a few. But yeah, it's cool that you can find where these cabins are here if you look around. And I guess many of them now I use this as lookout towers for the fire department or federal forest department or whatever it would be. But now, many of them have been kind of retrofitted to be overnight cabins that you can or other people in public can rent out and get for like a night or two nights or, or a part of a week or something is pretty cool. I guess they book pretty far out in advance. But it's pretty cool. So, yeah, I was looking around at some of those. And I've been on a trip for a couple of days now, driving around in some BLM and national forest land. It's out here in Eastern Oregon. And there's a lot of it, it's cool, a lot of space, a lot of open space in this part of the country. It's a bit of a difference between them between west of the Cascades and east of the Cascades. A lot of the national forest land is on the west coast. Well, yeah, I'm trying to think of it a little. But as good as I can tell, a lot of the national forest land on the west coast is mountainous with many ridges, and a lot of thick timber too, a lot of thick evergreen forests wonderful area. But it's hard to traverse that kin

I'm out on a camping trip right now, and I'm in the back of my truck on the tailgate at a campsite in the Fremont winnaman National Forest in South Central Oregon. Pretty sure that's about where it would be. Maybe it's still Central Oregon. I think it's, it's still in the mountain area before you drop into the Great Basin, near the location that I was for the last podcast when I was talking about hanging out near that cabin, near a meadow. And since then, I've been driving kind of around through these Forest Service roads, checking out different campsites that are laid out in some areas. A lot of areas up here, I think.

Even the more well-traveled ones just weren't maintained through the winter. These are gravel roads out here. It's like a cinder cone that's cashed up and then spread across the roads, or I think further to the west. They're still using gravel. I think I crossed over from Klamath County, now into Lake County. As I've been making my way, I think on the map app that I've got that
