Dalth500, yes, I do live in Oregon. I live in eastern Oregon and was on a photo weekend with a group from Oregon City. We found our way into Wasco along some of the backroads. This was shot in the afternoon and was in the shade, exactly as you described. In the unprocessed image, the colors are quite subtle. I put it through a single image HDR processing (not too heavy handed) and then worked on individual colors to bring them out. Thanks for your compliments on this shot - I really appreciate it, especially from someone who is familiar with the exact location! You must know a lot of great places to shoot around the area. There are some really cool old buildings for sure.
You must live here in Oregon - nice image of this old sign. It is hard to develop that kind of contrast and color saturation due to its easterly facing location. Either its blown out by the direct sun or then it falls into full shade. I have been shooting up in that area since I was 14 years old !! Thanks for posting!!
