Happy Valley Park

Happy Valley Park is in Happy Valley, Oregon which is right next to Portland. I would say that everybody that lives there is "happy, happy, happy"! But, I am sure they get tired of hearing that.

The Park has a 24 acre wetland. Cool boardwalks constructed throughout. If you didn't know better you would think you are a million miles from nowhere, rather than smack dab in the middle of a urban area.

Other than the wetlands, it's a normal everyday park but, a super great park to walk around. There is an off lease dog park. And, I don't have to tell you that puppies love to walk around the wetland area but, they have to stick to the boardwalks and not be chasing the wildlife all over the place.

Happy Valley Park

Happy Valley Park

Nestled right next to Portland is Happy Valley, a sprawling residential area with a cool park.

On the surface it looks like any other park, meaning it has ball fields, tennis courts and a dog park. But, unlike any city park it has acres and acres of wetlands that are next to none.

I took a few shots with my Nikon Point and Shoot. I love to experiment, so I converted them to HDR (High Dynamic Range) Photography through Photomatix software.

Single shots, mind you. I'm trying to prove a point that you can develop maybe some different and interesting kind of photography with just a point and shoot.

Actually, I can take a full range of exposures with my Nikon (bracketed shots) if I use a tripod. But, this day I wanted to see what I could do with one exposure.
