A lovely 6-month trip through Oregon. Original video caption:

Finding Oregon is the compilation of six months of timelapse photography across the state of Oregon, punctuated by a 1600 mile road trip in September. We've filmed the Columbia River Gorge, Mt Hood, Mt Jefferson, the Southwestern Coast, the Alvord Desert, Leslie Gulch, Blue Mountains, Crater Lake, Eagle Cap Wilderness, Deschutes River, and more. We're proud to have touched all four corners of the state; however Oregon is the kind of place that the more you see, the more places there are to still discover.

The greatest challenge with this project was being in the right place at the right time. Night timelapse sequences particularly have an unexpected number of requirements to get the bright, stunning payoff. First, the moon should be around the New Moon phase (no moon) so as not to compete with outshining the stars, so that means we get about 5 days a month window. Next, weather must be cooperative with a dependable expectancy of cloudless skies. Here in Oregon, only the Summer months have good chance of clear skies, so only 1/4 of the year offers good chance of clear skies. So that means, we have three months in the year, with a 5 day window each month to plan with fingers crossed for epic star shooting conditions. That's only 15 days in a year. Then, you hope that something doesn't come up in regular life to pull you away to other obligations on those few days. It is a maddening challenge getting all the factors to line up to be in the right place at the right time. But, when it does happen- it is such a satisfying feeling!

Eagle Cap Brings Aeronautical Data for BLOS Operations

Aviation Charting Service (ACS) by Eagle Cap Software includes the tools and software necessary for operators and developers to add an aeronautical chart display—based on ARINC 424 data—to their ground control station (GCS) or situational awareness maps in order to facilitate beyond line of sight operations (BLOS).

According to Dane Winchester, Co-Founder of Eagle Cap Software, “Many ground…

The cat has figured out that packing means 1 of 2 thing. Either she is going for a car ride or that we are leaving her, both of which she cannot stand. She has 2 tactics for this situation. The first is to be “heavy” witch consist of becoming a rag doll and letting her body hang limply as you try to move her. Next she’ll look up at you with the cutest, saddest eyes that say, “Why?” Much like a child pretending to be sick to get out of going to school. When this doesn’t work, she’ll begin to yowl and try to escape. This sometimes works, but not today! She has no idea of our plans to leave for the weekend.

Once packing was nearly done we went to an early brunch with my cousin. When I got home I called for the cat. Usually she bounds up to the apartment any time I come home. When this doesn’t happen I’ll give and call and whistle and she’ll ramble up in a few minutes. I went into the apartment to finish packing.

In a perfect world we would leave in half an hour around 10 and leaving around 10:30 would not be the end of the world. We finish pack and 10 O’clock rolls around. No cat. I call her again. 10:30. No cat. Now I take a turn around the complex see if I can find her. I look under cars and decks and in bushes. No cat.

At 11 my girlfriend calls the cat. That little devil pokes her head out from under the neighbor’s car. We make eye contact and we both know she’s wise to the situation. She knows somethings up and she’s suspicious. We try to coax her to come in. But she give us a look that say, “No, thank you. I prefer it under this PT Cruiser.”

Now is a time for action! If she is not going to come to me. I will have to wrangle her, mono-y-mono, back into this apartment. It is at this moment that the garbage truck pulls up. All lit up with flashing lights and emitting beeping that indicates it’s backing up. My cat bolts around a corner and I chase after, but like in a good chase seen I turn the corner and… No cat.

Finally around noon she dares to show her face and I snatch her up. We head out. We hit traffic. Our 6 hour drive turns into an 8 hour drive. But once we get out into the woods, it really doesn’t matter anymore.
