The Oregon Dunes

My buddy and I took our 2 boys (14 yo) to Florence this weekend. Here's some of the shots. We spent a long rainy Thursday hiding out in a trailer but were rewarded for our patience on Friday. Thanks for looking...

It is a BLAST! :barb There were plenty of dirt bikes out there tearin' it up.

If you haven't been to the dunes, it's time to plan a trip. We're planning on being out there at least a couple more times over the winter.

Rode past there last summer. It looks like a ton of fun and you got some nice shots too.

I don't own a quad but there are tons of places to rent them there.

Thanks Ian. I shot some video too. Used the 7D, Sony camcorder, and a little Hero Helmet cam. Playing with the video this morning. The 7D video came out the best. I was worried about my moving targets going out of focus but I set a midway f-stop and they stayed in focus really well.

Thanks for commenting.

No problems that I know of. All the gear was stowed in a nice padded back pack. I did have to change lenses several times and tried to be careful.

Thanks for looking.
