Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival
Last year, I joined a group of fellow Portland Flickrites at the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farms to shoot around. I hadn’t really expected much–just a bunch of flowers in a field. I figured if nothing else, it would be good practice, and an opportunity to hang out with other local photographers.
In reality though, it was an incredible experience. The fields were saturated in colors, the sky was filled with hot air balloons, and the possible shots were endless. There are a few standard shots–the tractor seems to be a favorite subject of most photogs, and macro photos are endless.
I’m going again this year. If anyone is interested, I’m going to try to get down there for sunrise on the 18th of April. Don’t worry about your equipment. Bring whatever camera you’ve got–it’s all about the photographer behind the camera. Use your imagination, use the colors to your advantage, get creative.
ProPhoto Supply also has a Tulip Festival contest for those interested.

Hope to see you there!
