Preparing For The Oregon Coast f/86

The Stop Down Photography Podcast

Preparing for a photo trip has its own level of enjoyment. Picking out the gear, thinking about locations, and the growing anticipation of photographing a new place, or even a familiar favorite, I like the build-up to the actual trip. It’s fun.

In a few short weeks, I will be on the Oregon Coast for some photography. In addition to the gear choices and virtual location scouting, I am doing something a little different. I am thinking about what ideas and feelings I can explore through photography on this trip. I talked about this concept in Episode 84.

Feelings the Pacific Northwest elicits for me include the power of the ocean and where things meet. I am visiting in November, and want to explore the concept of the off-season. In this podcast, I share thoughts about these theme-based concepts and how they might affect the locations I choose to visit. I also discuss the gear I will bring on the trip - I’m always asked!.

I hope you enjoy it and that it sparks some ideas for you when you prepare for your next photo trip.
