[MUSIC] Hello and thank you very much for listening to this episode of the Billy Newman photo podcast. I hear different industries kind of talk about what a good day of work is or how that is to kind of get out and get what you need done. And just as like a creative system, it's sort of tough in photography. There's a lot of the entrepreneurial and sort of business related stuff of how do you get paid and how do you operate in a business, how do you function as a photographer sort of a thing. But still outside of that you need to do something nourishing in the system of creativity where you're kind of gaining new ideas and putting new materials together and sort of figuring out a way to make a union of something new with media and with something visual, especially as fast as technology is moving forward. It's definitely an interesting vector kind of using the progression of technology and artistic creativity to try and make new pieces of media to put out. And that's what I really like about new media as it goes. So it's kind of interesting. I'm kind of thinking about the way of making pieces of media and new media elements and working with photographs and stuff. But it's something that I've been really interested for a long time.

[Music] Hello and thank you very much for listening to this episode of the Billy Newman Photo Podcast. I’m talking about a photograph that I made on the Oregon coast today doing Blue Hour probably. I think it was after the sun had set. It was sort of like the golden hour to talk about right as the hour as the sun is setting into sunset. The blue hour they also talk about as after the sun goes down there’s a lot of those blue kind of purple tones that show up in the atmosphere or you know in the clouds and in the water. There’s just a lot more of that tone as the sun drops and it’s a spectrum shift from what we see in the daylight to what we see at night time. But I think this was a photograph taken on the Oregon coast. I think your band-in if I’m right. And I really liked this photo. It just had it wasn’t really a big structure in the wave or a big curl or anything like that. That would be that’d be really striking but I really appreciate this photograph as kind of a close-up look at I just sort of the dreamy feeling of being on the coast. But it was definitely a photograph that I liked a lot and I like that line in the skies as it cuts across as you can kind of see at the top there there’s a bit of like a cloud break that goes down and that’s where we get a lot of that light from the sky in the background that kind of cuts underneath that big brim of cloud that goes over the top of the snet that causes a lot of bounce from the ground back up to the sky and then back down and you get a cooler or you get a defused sort of soft light in that effect which I think is really cool. You can see more of my work at billyneuminphoto.com. You can check out some of my photo books on Amazon. I think you can look up billyneumin under the authors section there and see some of the photo books on film, on the desert, on surrealism, on camping. Some cool stuff over there. Finished up that camping trip I was doing up the mountain creek there in the cascades a couple days ago. That was that like Wednesday. I think it was like maybe like Tuesday, Tuesday night to Wednesday morning. I think that was this super moon that was coming up that night if I remember right and that was pretty cool. It was cool to see the full moon up there and they always talk about the super moon which is kind of a I don’t know it’s a little bit of a misnomer but it’s cool to see too that I think they talk about happening every six months or so. Really it’s just kind of the oscillation of a bit of the eccentricities and the orbit of the moon that make it I think about 25,000 miles closer that it’s maximum and then maybe about 25,000 miles further away and it’s distant maximum but I think it’s really like a little bit of a sliver larger than it normally would be. If you notice though it’s a thing I learned way back and I think they they they show it in a scene in Apollo 13 but if you put your hand all the way out and you put your thumb up at all times you’re able to cover the entire full moon just with your thumbnail. It’s pretty wild but you got kind of always like visualize the moon is being this really big thing in the sky and really a lot of the time it’s it’s just as big as your thumbnail at arm’s reach which is kind of a trip but it’s kind of a it was cool to see the super moon that night it was really bright it was cool to kind of watch around and kind of look at how it was illuminating the forest and the trees and the mountains and stuff around me that was kind of nice to see cold that night though man I tell you so I have a 15 degree sleeping bag and that’s great 15 degrees is fine but and 15 degrees really is is more than adequate for most circumstances that I e

Some of the stuff sort of around hunting stuff, I don't I guess I don't really get into a ton of hunting stuff. But But I was trying to think a little bit about some notes that I had about finding and scouting out dispersed hunting campsites or dispersed campsites that are that are away from parks away from state parks and, and sort of those, those bigger areas that are just kind of wide out open that you can camp in.

Appreciate you guys checking this one out. It's been falling off for this last week. So we got a good bit of rain that had come down for a while here in the northern Oregon area, I was looking on the map on the like radar map the weather map, and it was showing like a pretty good bit of rain that was hitting, I think I call across the wall. Now across the west coast, but all across the Northwest area is, I think it's all like going up into British Columbia pretty far. But I think for this week, it's supposed to be dry, as like, we wait for the next system to kind of push through, and it was kind of weird to kind of change the weather pattern there a little bit, but I think it's been going okay for the fire recovery stuff. So a lot to do and a lot going on. And a man like I'm sure like some of the state highways that cut across the Cascades are going to be shot for probably most of the winter, I wonder if they're going to recover in that way, you know, like just with some of the towns that are just no longer there, they're gonna have to take a long time to rebuild but all the fire damage of, of trees and stuff, they're going to be down the road, and then all the potential damage that's going to come from this winter, as we get hea

Thanks a lot for listening to this podcast. If you're in the northwest or anywhere on the west coast, and if you're probably anywhere in America, I'm sure you've heard about the wildfires that are going on here in Oregon. And if you're on the west coast, as west of the Cascades, I'm sure you've been inundated with smoke for the last week or so, just about like most of this last week, I think since, like Labor Day, it's been pretty intense here. It's been just smoke all through the valley. And I think smoke all the way down to California. Now, I guess I was just reading that there's smoke that's now Kind of pushed out all the way to Michigan. I think a scene and satellite photos are really interesting satellite imagery. I don't know if you guys have been able to see that. There are also some like time-lapse captures of the satellite imagery. And it's really interesting to Kind of see the changes and how the weather was working during the period of time with those wildfires took off. But as a quick rundown, I'm sure there have been better, better news outlets than I am to give you the rundown of the facts of the fires. But yeah, it seems like it's a historic amount of burn. And just a couple of days. I think they've mentioned that it's now more than 1 million acres have burned, and wildfires created. I think just this week, but I think it's for like the Oregon year-to-date amount. I think they mentioned 2 million acres of burned in California this year. pretty significant burns. I think that's at least for Oregon. I think it was double the amount that they had expected for this year was interesting is that it's all occurred so late. I think I was even captured talking on a podcast about a month ago or so that I was surprised not to see more smoke in the year this year as we were Kind of fortunate to not see, you know, some kind of fire complex build-up somewhere in Oregon, there's always been some circumstances that when you get out to Eastern Oregon, you see smoke in the air on the horizon, you figure it's come from somewhere a lot of the time, like when I was growing up, it came from the southern Oregon area, this is used to seem to catch fire every couple of years. Or it was, you know, somewhere, someplace up in the Cascades, you know, Kind of a remote location is somewhere up in like northeast Oregon that was burning. There'

Billy Newman Photo Podcast Feed https://billynewmanphoto.com/feed/podcast/billynewmanphotopodcast 154 Billy Newman Photo podcast mixdown Developing film and Converting old tapes Hello, and thank you very much for listening to this episode of The Billy Newman photo podcast for the first week of September 2020. I hope everybody's doing well. Thanks a lot for checking out this episode. I wanted to talk a little about the start of September, some of the stuff I've been up to. It's cool, and I just finished a roll of film here pretty recently. Like I think during this last week when I was out traveling around, and I haven't finished a roll of film in a while, I've been shooting mostly on the digital camera that I've got kind of moved over to canon equipment back in 2018. And I've been shooting with that for, and I guess now almost two years is what it's coming up too. And so, during that time, I picked up a Canon film camera.And I've been using the Canon lenses that I have for my digital camera. On the Eos system over on an older canon film camera from I think the late 90s is what I was able to pick up. So I went over on like kth comm. I think this was this is probably like nine months ago or so at the beginning of the year. And I picked up a really inexpensive Canon camera body was like $35, something like that, to, to pick up this camera, mostly plastic in the body, but it has a bunch of the manual controls that you would expect from the sort of mid-range SLR sort of like the five D Mark, or you know, the five D Mark, the five D line, you know, whatever when you want to pick, but it's not the full professional build model. But it's definitely not the lower-end one. So yeah, it has like kind of the same layout of buttons and stuff on it as you can get with the more modern layout of cannon buttons and stuff. So most of it's really the same as it kind of translates back from one to the other. But it's a cool, pretty simple camera, and it's got, I think, like three focus points, three autofocus points on the inside. And that works fine for the kind of simple stuff that I was trying to do. But it's cool I was a cargo by I'm out here at a wildlife refuge spot. And I was checking out sort of has changed now that it's September 1, they've cut all the grass that they grow in these fields out here, that's all been cut, bailed, driven off. And then now it's like been tilled up, and there's like dirt and rocks and like all of these big multi-acre fields that kind of a stretch on out here. So we're working with this canon film camera, this, I can't remember what the name of it is. But it's got pretty simple controls, and it's been easy to use. It has a weird battery. Maybe I have talked about that before. The kind of tricky thing about some of these late 90s SLR cameras is that they take this sort of proprietary about these almost proprietary disposable batteries. I think this one is something sort of like to sort of fat double A's that are bonded together. And then kind of wrapped in this, you know, this little casing unit and that's supposed to like fit in your camera, and then the power of the camera for a cou

Made a cup of coffee this morning, and I'm out at that peak of the mountain out in Eastern Oregon. Pretty cool spot up here that I was able to get to. I was looking around on the map. And I was able to find some spots that were old lookout towers like I guess they were like old like fire lookout towers for when there would be lightning strikes or other starts of fires for forest fires in the area. I have driven to a couple of them before, seven in Northern California. I'll talk about those in a few. But yeah, it's cool that you can find where these cabins are here if you look around. And I guess many of them now I use this as lookout towers for the fire department or federal forest department or whatever it would be. But now, many of them have been kind of retrofitted to be overnight cabins that you can or other people in public can rent out and get for like a night or two nights or, or a part of a week or something is pretty cool. I guess they book pretty far out in advance. But it's pretty cool. So, yeah, I was looking around at some of those. And I've been on a trip for a couple of days now, driving around in some BLM and national forest land. It's out here in Eastern Oregon. And there's a lot of it, it's cool, a lot of space, a lot of open space in this part of the country. It's a bit of a difference between them between west of the Cascades and east of the Cascades. A lot of the national forest land is on the west coast. Well, yeah, I'm trying to think of it a little. But as good as I can tell, a lot of the national forest land on the west coast is mountainous with many ridges, and a lot of thick timber too, a lot of thick evergreen forests wonderful area. But it's hard to traverse that kind of terrain; many of them have had roads that are pretty well maintained, they go through some of those areas. But still, even with that, there's not a lot of open expanses and the kind of tight quarters sometimes. So it's kind of cool getting out over here in Eastern Oregon, where it sort of flattens out a bit opens up a bit. And even though there are still quite a few trees in the area that I'm looking out at, like I'm looking at, South of me here, miles and miles and miles of forest land, and mountains that go out 20 miles, 30 miles or so. But it's cool. It goes out for a while. But there are changes in the land to the lookout. Like I was saying, I made it at the top of the peak of a mountain here. So I can see out to the east over here, I look over, and I see like a few ridges, a few bluffs, and it seems like it goes on forever. But it's pretty cool. And this area here, looking out west to me here, I can see the lights of one of the cities last night that's out here, or you know, one of the small towns it's in the area, he can kind of see the little dots of t

I'm out on a camping trip right now, and I'm in the back of my truck on the tailgate at a campsite in the Fremont winnaman National Forest in South Central Oregon. Pretty sure that's about where it would be. Maybe it's still Central Oregon. I think it's, it's still in the mountain area before you drop into the Great Basin, near the location that I was for the last podcast when I was talking about hanging out near that cabin, near a meadow. And since then, I've been driving kind of around through these Forest Service roads, checking out different campsites that are laid out in some areas. A lot of areas up here, I think. I think what I was looking at my watch, and it says we're about 4900 feet. I think it was about 5200 feet near maybe the higher parts that I was at. But yeah, this is pretty high up here. I think it's a little snow on the ground in a spot a while back when I was driving a little shady spot that and get it been warmed up, which is weird to see in August. Not much snow out here, though, you know, by any means. So I think I was up here in the springtime in a different area kind of further down and lower and elevation. And I think it was early April. And I could get away ways up the mountain, but I think I got snowed out really quickly before it before you really even break into, you know, the Forest Service roads that are up here. Even the more well-traveled ones just weren't maintained through the winter. These are gravel roads out here. It's like a cinder cone that's cashed up and then spread across the roads, or I think further to the west. They're still using gravel. I think I crossed over from Klamath County, now into Lake County. As I've been making my way, I think on the map app that I've got that onyx off-road app that I've been using a lot out here, it's really been a good benefit to have a road map of all these Forest Service roads and all the trails and the terrain and stuff that I'm looking around. But yeah, it really helps to kind of scan around and sees what's around you and how to get through some places. But I mean, you'll have just real tiny ATV trails. troublingly though, I think I mentioned, they're not really totally differentiated with notes on how bad each different road is. It's just a solid green line. It says you can drive on it. And it might be a well-graded gravel road. That's why like a highway, or it might be a really small and brushy like overgrown powerline road that kind of cuts along a property line. That's what I was on yesterday for about a half-hour, and I was thinking, man, I probably would have taken that main way around. If I had realized it would do this. That's the thing that gets you to because it'll be a good road for about three miles, you know, or long enough that you're like, I don't really want to turn around. An

Be sure you guys are tuning in for the first week of August 2020. I'm out on a camping trip right now; I'm deep in the middle of the Fremont National Forest, where I've been driving around for a good part of the day. And it's not; it's not really high desert out here. I think it's still mostly like smaller pine trees. And then I think just a little further east if I were to drive where you would start to drop into the area, that would be like the Great Basin, I think that area that was the Inland Sea back during the Pleistocene period before the end of the last ice age. And that's where you get like on eastern Oregon and then out into Nevada to I think it's like just a little east of Bend Oregon. And, and then south from there, into Nevada, and parts of Utah. I think it's like a really big, like high desert area that I think was mostly created from like an inland sea or, you know, that's, I think what they talked about the Great Basin area when you look on those, those maps, and it kinda has this, this far northern region that are up into the Chico mountains and pretty sure somewhere around there. But I think it's a pretty cool being out here. I was able to find a, like an old or at least it's on the map is like a forest service cabin, I don't think it was really in use by the Forest Service's it's not like a base, or it's not like a place where they have resources or tracks. It's just like, an old, an old built homestead almost is what it looks like out here. And it's got to, but I think it's kind of semi-managed and sort of protected by the National Forest Service out here. The roads are pretty good to get into it. And then it opens up into a big meadow. It's probably. I don't know, six or seven acres or so. And then there's like big fencing around it made out of the small, like log pines that they dropped. And then they'd put together these like a-frames and then stack together logs on that to make these big fences that kind of stretch around the property of the house, I guess to not have it, I don't know, trampled or whatever by but whatever out here. I think when I was walking around, I saw that there's there seems to be like some open range cattle that share the land out here. As I was walking around, I can see some signs of it. And then I could also see, and this is where I'm not really too good at. Following what I'm seeing, I'm not sure if it's like, like mule deer that are out there. Or if it's elk that are out there. I know the mule deer out here, but I'm not sure if what I was seeing was from an elk or knives seemed like it would be elk. But I'm not really sure. It's kind of cool, though. It's cool being out here in this area. I spent a good part of the day getting down here. I've been trying to make a camping trip of some sort each week here through the summer. And that's really kind of been really only one of the few

Appreciate you guys for tuning in to this episode recorded for the first week of August in 2020. And wanted to jump into a couple of the things I've been doing through the month of July and some outdoor camping and travel stuff I've been up to. I was going to run down some of that in this podcast today. I wanted to talk about a trip I made to Eastern Oregon. I think like last week before last is when I was out in this area, and I was trying to get some good observations in for comet nowise I'm not sure if any of you guys got to check that out while it was in its prime viewing section there I think that was why we had kind of like the new moon before it switched over to being gibbous moon or nearly full moon like it's been the last week or so. But I think it was around the 15th through the 25th or so of July. There are some pretty good observations to be made of comet Neo wise, and I guess after kind of reading about it a bit, it's not considered a great comet, like Hale Bopp was, or I think it was I talkie 9996 we hadn't had a great comment in a long time I've ever seen those when I was a kid though that was pretty cool. Like watching the Hale Bopp come through for it seemed like three months or something you know that you're just kind of looking at that in the low corners of the northwestern and Western skies was kind of cruising across the skyline I remember that still from like, third-fourth grade when it was coming through, and I also remember the year before that, when like straight up in the air you know like straight up in the sky at night for it was only like a week or so I was a kid you know, but I remember for that week you can see a real bright two-tailed comet those guns I think I can't remember how to pronounce I think is how you talk here. I think it's it's some Japanese name. Pretty sure. But that was a really cool one. That one I still remember really clearly I was only like, I don't know, seven or something when that like when that comic came through. But I really appreciated getting to make some observations with that one as a kid. I missed Halley's Comet, though, back in what 87, I think, was the last one if it came through. And I probably will be the few years that you know that decade or two of the age range that doesn't get to see Halley's Comet in their lifetime. So I think I was born in 88, of course. So if I make it past 100, maybe you'll see it; what is it maybe like 80 something years, so it's probably not going to come back around until I think it's like the 2017 or 2000 80s that I'd have to make it to for to see Halley's Comet again, that'd be fun, but I don't know, maybe we'll see our future. The future is at that time. But it was really cool to get to see Comet Neo wise; It was just a little below what would be the legs and feet of Ursa Major, the Big Dipper, or like the

I appreciate you checking this one out. I wanted to talk to you guys today, I think for what is today, the 12th of June 2020. A lot a lot of stuff going on right now in the world. But, in fact a bit about the ideas around media that I had around that no last podcast that I recorded. This one, I was going to get into a little bit of the outdoor stuff that I've been up to, and some of the photo editing bits that I was on and also I wanted to talk a little more about editing with a controller board. What is it called? I don't know. They, yeah, like a MIDI controller. So yeah, the first part I guess I wanted to talk about, we're heading out to the wildlife refuge area. That's out south of Corvallis. Here. The Finley Wildlife Refuge went out there for a couple days in a row to try and check outs and some of the area out there I think it's now opened up a little bit more officially I think during the first weeks of the lockdown here in Oregon, the road that was gated up, I think almost for like two months, the road that cut through to the main section of the wildlife refuge had been boarded up or not boarded up. But I think there's like a gate that cuts across the front entrance of it. Even though it's really sort of a public road that cuts through to the highway on the other side, I think it goes from Bell fountain road over to highway 99 on the other side, so you can cut all the way through but they Yeah, they closed off both ends, I think because there's a visitor center in the in the middle there. And they didn't want people coming in and congregating or I guess traveling on the trails for a period of time. So yeah, I noticed that on a couple other spots a couple of the entrances, they said that maybe I think that you couldn't enter for a while then they sort of shifted those regulations around like we I think kind of talked about on a couple of the previous podcasts and then you could walk but then you had to remain socially distanced and the rest of it. So I think yeah, it's opened. It's opened back up mostly now and has been for the last few weeks. Normally, I think the the wildlife refuges in this area open up on April 1 and then close down again on November 1. And I think that's for the migratory bird I guess seasonal patterns that they that they are in so I think it's for I think it's an area for Canadian geese to come in. And winter in. If that sounds right. I guess that's fine. Oh, so it's loaded up there in the wintertime it's loaded with birds and grains and eat grits and stuff. It's really cool to go down there and, and take some binoculars and look around a lot of Eagles late in the winter. I think that was pretty cool during like February. And in March of this year, there were a lot of bald eagles out in that area, that Willamette Valley, just sort of roaming around. But it was pretty fun to see a lot of hawks too. That was really cool. So yeah, a lot of birds in that area. But I cruise down there this last week for a couple trips to kind of hike out to a few spots now that it's a little more opened up and you ca

I think it's May 16. Today 2020 of everybody's doing well, and I think this accounts for like the first, the first full day after the 15th, which marks the beginning of phase one reopening here in the Oregon area. I guess a lot of other states are sort of entering into the same kind of thing with the beginning of their reopenings. And starting up. I think the start of the I think it's like a lot of retail stores. I don't know what's still restricted. I think there's still like a number of private businesses that can't really can't really get started, it seems like a lot of restaurant stuff is still kind of held back, was it gyms or something? Maybe that's the kind of held back? It seems like, it seems like a lot of places are really kind of getting going. But maybe it's like California, I keep hearing news out of there probably because, you know, there's so many people in that area that that are, you know, producing media and stuff. But I keep hearing kind of strange rules out of the lockdown that sort of continues to go on and the LA County area and along like the California coast and that area. So it's kind of interesting to see how there's such a varied approach and the way that they're they're sort of bringing stuff back. What is it like Arkansas you can have? I'm gonna have a concert, or something. I think there's a place trying to drive in concert idea sounds kind of fun, really, you know, everybody pull up in a car. It always just sounds like a good idea, I guess when there's not a pandemic going on. So there's maybe less fear than that. But But yeah, that sounds fun. Driving concert, I don't know. Or I think there's a limited seating in places for for some venues now that I think is Max, like maybe 150 people swept some places to try and some of those Midwest areas, I think maybe like Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, I think some areas over there kind of try and some, some live events stuff out. I'm not sure what it is for restaurants, and a lot of places still seems like social distancing standards are what's required. And a lot of those places I hear about restaurants operating in, like 25% capacity, and maybe 50% capacity. But even still, that just doesn't seem economically, like it's kind of work, I didn't really spend a lot of time working in restaurants. But even still, I have enough tangential experience with the restaurant industry to know that those margins aren't really wide enough, when you're making food, to if you were, if you were just supporting yourself on 100% capacity before all this, there's really not a good reason that that you're going to support your business on 25% capacity for the next foreseeable future. I mean, gosh, like, it just seems like you're gonna operate at a loss for six months, or more, I don't know if anybody can really handle that, especially after a big dip like this, you know, it's not going to be a better economic time after this for for a lot of those kinds of industries, or you know, just so there's like a rate limit on the amount of customers that you can have at any given time. So that seems to be a problem. I don't know how they're really going to handle that. They don't know, there's venues and stuff to try to come back, it seems like there's a lot of people just trying to do it to, to try and jump back in and be the first people competing again. So I guess in that s

How's it going? Thanks for checking this one. I finished up that camping trip I was doing up the mountain Creek there in the Cascades a couple days ago. What was that like Wednesday, I think it was like maybe like Tuesday, Tuesday night to Wednesday morning. I think that was the super moon that was coming up that night. If I remember right, and that was pretty cool. It was cool to see the full moon up there. And they always talk about the Super Moon, which is kind of a, I don't know, it's a little bit of a misnomer. But it's, it's cool to see to that thing to talk about happening every six months or so. Really, it's just kind of the oscillation of a bit of the eccentricities in the orbit of the moon that make it I think about 25,000 miles closer than its maximum, and then maybe about 25,000 miles further away. And it's distant maximum. But I think it's really only like a little bit of a sliver larger than it normally would be. If you notice though, it's a thing I learned way back. And I think that they show it at a scene in Apollo 13. But if you put your hand all the way out and you put your thumb up at all times, you're able to cover the entire Full Moon, just with your thumbnail. It's pretty wild, man, you can always like visualize the moon is being this really big thing in the sky. And really a lot of the time it's, it's just as big as your thumbnail it at arm's reach, which is kind of a trip. But it was kind of it was cool to see the supermoon that night was really bright, it was cool to kind of watch around and kind of LIGO was illuminating the forest and the trees and the mountains and stuff around me. That was kind of nice to see. Cold that night, though. Man, I tell you so have a 15 degree sleeping bag. And that's great. 15 degrees is fine. But envision degrees really is more than adequate for most circumstances that I ended up being in during the summertime. Where it's done, I was just not too big of a concern about how cold it gets. But when is this 15 degrees really means you're going to be comfortable down to somewhere around 35 degrees, but anywhere under 30 degrees is a pretty uncomfortable experience, I think it means you're going to stay alive. That until it's about 15 degrees. So if it were me again, buying something for maybe I don't know, a more heavy three season camping experience most of the time, probably a lot of the nights out that I do. Even though I like to go at all times a year, it seems like the majority of nights I go out or during the summer months or you know during like pretty fair weather seasons. But if I were going to buy again, which I'm going to try and get like a two or three sleeping bag system going, if I was going to buy again, I probably get a zero degree or maybe a negative 15 degree. And I could really use the warm because man, what I noticed is even if it was just a little bit down to what would have been probably, maybe, I don't know, 29 or something like that it was you know, as a bit below freezing. Who knows how cold it really was, it was only like an elevation of 2500 feet and it was a canyon. I thought it was a clear night, but I thought it would be relatively sheltered. And yeah, it was a lot of it was a lot of ice on my window when I woke up. And it was a cold, cold night to sit through too. So. So yeah, that 15 degree bag

How's it going? Thanks a lot for tuning into this episode, I'm catching up on sun, national forest land right now about cold Creek in an area, kind of outside of where I'm living in Oregon. And it's gone pretty well, we're having a good day, I'm just here by myself. So I'm doing a solo camping trip. It's the first solo night out I've done this year, and I'm excited to be doing it. I think it's gonna be kind of cool. It's been fun. So far too. It's been, it's been pretty mellow. I'm out here at my campsite, I got my recording gear, rigged up and I'm at the tailgate of my truck, and made a fire earlier in the fire rank. And it's a pretty clear night, pretty mellow weather seems kind of cold up here. It's sort of a mountain. And I think it's close-ish to the snow level. But still a few. It's still a bit above me, I drove up to it earlier. So earlier, when I was coming in, I left at about noon today. And I took off and drove to town up into the forest and then up kind of on this meandering Forest Service road. And you think right now that you know, maybe a lot of stuff would be empty or or you're not in a lot of use. But really, when I got out here, I noticed a good bit of traffic, it's a nice day, it's May, it's may 6. So I bet people are kind of getting out and and just kind of given the environment that we're in right now where people don't get to, or you know, that are just kind of stuck at home or they didn't they're not at work or something, they're probably the for the first time, you know, a lot of free time for a lot of these people do. So it seems like this area here. As soon as I got to the region that you could camp, it was full of campers, I was noticing that when I was coming up. So there's an area where I think you have to go at 17 miles up the road before you hit the area where you can begin just camping on the side of the road. And I think that's that's probably the spot where the national forest land begins. And before that, I think you're in a region of BLM land that structured out below there as you get kind of closer down toward the highway. And so this further out, made it through the BLM land, that's I guess there's no camping, I think you can do like a lot of day-use area stuff out there a couple campgrounds a past just sort of like Forest Service campgrounds, or BLM campgrounds but sort of a more organized, pull out with the bathroom, those were closed, or you know, there's like I think one of them at least I saw the picnic area had remained open for day you stuff that you know, you just kind of walked down to the river or something. There was a number of people out by the lake earlier down in the area, I was lower down on the mountain side. And then as I kind of had come up here into the hills, most of this road had been paved. So it's a pretty commonly used road. And I think I think it goes pretty well, I think it goes all the way through. So if it were clear, you could get from here, or from the side that I was on, I guess it would be kind of the South, the southwest side to the northeast side of the corner of the forest and kind of pop out on the other side of the highway. And when I was driving through earlier, I'd gone just a bit further than where I am now. And I traveled up uphill a bit more and it kind of started getting windy. And then I started noticing a little bit of snow in the shade your spots the the north facing slopes and stuff. And then after a little bit further, it was pretty crazy. It was i

Thanks a lot for listening to this episode of The Billy Newman photo podcast recorded. I think, What is it now? May 1, 2020. Wow, the way we went through the year, I hope everybody's doing good through the coronavirus pandemic that's been going on and going over the whole world now; it's pretty crazy. Here in Oregon, fortunately, it's maybe a little lighter, though, there's kind of the social dynamics that have changed pretty recently, or, you know, over the last 45 days has been a lot of businesses that are closed, you know, with the lockdowns and stuff and a lot of people not really getting out or moving around and really been the same for me. So I figured I should be doing some podcasting, which sounds like a good time. But yeah, I wanted to talk a little bit about some public land stuff that I've been doing, which has always been kind of fun. And there's still a little bit of stuff that you can do even with during a time like, like right now. Where there's the state lockdowns, I'm not sure which state you're in or how it is. There's different regulations in each of the states. And really, some of them are actually more flexible than they had been prior to this. But there's really still a lot of land access on public lands through the western states. And I think through a lot of the states through the the east to hear a lot about the beach closures and some of these populated city areas. But that's not really the same across the United States in every capacity. Now there's parks that are closed parks are a different type of land management. Then your your public lands like BLM, or national forest land, national parks are closed. State Parks are closed state forests are closed. But really in a lot of places, there's public access to a lot of waterways, and a lot of land and forest areas that would be out in the western United States. I'm not sure quite what it is in California, they might have they might have gone through and done more specific closures here. In Oregon, as I looked up the US, fish and wildlife, I, their site, they had some COVID related information and they were instructing that bear season is still in fact starting April 15. turkey season is in effect, General hunting is in effect. fishing season is in effect fishing was close to out of state fishers. So I guess you couldn't come in from another state. Maybe Washington is what they're thinking about. They also closed the Columbia River to all fishing, I think because Washington is closed, all fishing shoot. So I don't know what Washington's rules are, they might have more more strict land access than what we've got here. But as it goes, you can go out in Oregon to public lands and walk around or hike or camp as long as you're kind of doing the social distancing stuff. Now there is an issue with I think the governor here in Oregon had instructed that people are not to use trailheads. That had been I suppose mistaken for not to use trails, but apparently by instruction of one of the directo

This is Billy Newman and you're listening to the Billy Newman photo podcast. Appreciate you guys checking it out again. I wanted to touch into the day and talk about a trip that I just just finished up going on out to have to Central Oregon over to the high desert area in Eastern Oregon, I guess it's Eastern Oregon kind of over near the bend area. We went up to Smith rock this last week and did some camping out over there. Had a great time is it's pretty nice but we did the the hike over there at Smith rock and I guess I wanted to do just to kind of show podcast about the area over by blacksmith rock some of the hiking that you can do and some of the the trip and photo stuff that we were working on over there. But yeah, I had a great time and over to Smith rock took off for a pretty quick, easy weekend trip. You know what's great about living here in Oregon on like the I five corridor is you can just kind of jump over to Eastern Oregon over over the cascade pass, which is definitely tracking a drive. It's different than just being on the freeway. But it's pretty cool. Yeah, jumping over the highways and getting over kind of into the backcountry in the Cascades and then heading over over the past and then down into the high desert area of Eastern Oregon over there. So yeah, with three sisters headed over to Tara bond, and then went into the Smith rock State Park area. Really, man. The thing I guess I should say is Yeah, Smith rock is just world-class camping or hiking area. You really can't camp there. I guess you can kind of camp out in an attempt you can kind of bivouac there. I guess some of the rock climbers do that. But there's also like another spot the area we can to is this campground called skull hollow, which is about maybe five miles away or so it's really not too far of a drive but yeah, hop in the car, go around the mountain. And then on the backside of that you can you can hang out and set up a camp I think it's there we were at was probably, I guess, I guess it's BLM maybe it's like state forest or something stuff. But it was dispersed camping areas. So you can kind of drive up this road, pull out on the side and kind of walk your tent over and you know just a couple of feet and set it up, hang out there is all free. And you know, you're just sitting out there in the, in the scrub of the sagebrush and on some lumpy ground. And I think there's like open-range cattle that walk through there to other times we can't there in the past. I think Marina and I had been there maybe years ago, and we had camped just a couple spots from the place that we were this weekend. We put up the tent, hung out there had the car park there and then that morning, we woke up in the tent, we could hear like a bunch of big footsteps around and sounds and animals and we were thinking, oh man, that's weird. And we hands up the screen on the tent looked outside and we were surrounded by cows. So yeah, the cows the cows just kind of walkthrough in their little group during the night or during the morning and ended up in the acreage around where
