Interested in taking some night shots of this bridge. Can anyone provide information pertaining to a good vantage point in the city to do this? Thx!
This bridge crosses the Willamette River north of the Ross Island bridge and south of the Marquam bridge. I would think photo access would be good around the South East side of the river around OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry) or in S.E. Caruthers St./S.E. 4th Ave. There are places to walk along the river to find a great vantage point with downtown Portland or other bridges in the background if you want.
Be sure to visit some of the fun restaurants and brew pubs in that S.E. area!!

A beautiful place along the Oregon coast The "rocks" sticking out of the water are actually stumps of sitka spruce, about 2000 yrs old. They were buried after an earthquake. In 1998 a storms washed away mud and sand and they were exposed.
Thanks for looking

Do most computers have spell check? I have a Mac and it corrects spelling and some grammar. Could it be that all computers have spell check but users turn it off!! Or is spell check specific to Apple products? What does this have to do with photography you ask. It has to do with legible posts.

Nice shots. And that's all real food, right? That's not motor oil being poured onto pancakes, I hope. 
REAL maple syrup! Yep! All of my food shots are the real thing (and better be delicious - or it's my fault!) and very few chances to come up with a decent (not perfect by any means!) shot. Working commercially in past years, we did all kinds of crazy stunts to recreate food mainly because the lighting in the studio or on location would be hot and ruin most food!
Interesting to hear about the 8x10 thing ... in our commercial studio (70's, 80's and 90's) we mainly used 4x5 cameras so we had perspective as well as depth control for food/catalog work. If an ad agency demanded 8x10 we could do that also, but for economy reasons, 4x5 worked very well and the ad agencies liked the lower cost!
I don't use perspective control lenses on my Nikon/Olympus/Lumix cameras because - Who Cares! I'm not selling any of my images - jus' havin' fun!!

Thank You, yorkiebyte for your observation and response, you made me smile. If what you see through your camera look good, snap that shutter or your photo is gone forever! AP
Yeah, I have pressure at home...the wife or guests want to eat...not wait for the idiot (me!) with the camera (usually my cheap Nikon D3100 with a 50mm 1.8 G) to set a shot up with the first plate of food!!
I'm betting you have had that challenge also - whether at home or a restaurant!!
