Bill Brent's Passion

Bill Brent makes his living as a freelance writer in the high-tech industry of Portland, Oregon. For relaxation and enjoyment, however, he grabs his camera bag and heads outdoors. Adventure photography is his passion. Kayaking, waterfalls, waves crashing the shore, and a campfire at sunset, Bill captures it all with his Nikon N90S 35 mm camera and the following lenses - - - a 20 mm, f2.8 wide angle lens, a 35-70 mm f2.8 zoom lens, and an 80-200 f2.8 telephoto lens.

We invite you to take a look at these pictures of Bill's shoot during a 10-day kayaking trip in Canada's Pukaskwa National Park. Learn how he achieved these spectacular results.

Tiny pine cones and needles.

Often, when we're in a place with breathtaking vistas, we forget to notice the details. This shot is an attempt to focus on the details. I shot it with my 80-200 telephoto set at f4 for shallow depth of field. I wanted clarity on some of the cones and needles in the foreground, but not all, and I wanted the background to reflect the green and rust colors of the foreground without being in focus. My shutter speed was 250th, and I was shooting KODAK E100VS film.
