Autumn bridge

I hiked a short ways up the Dog River Trail before I ran out of steam (I slept very poorly the night before). This trail is popular with mountain bikers, but you can hike it too, which I'd like to do sometime.

UPDATE: It never ceases to amaze me how very different my photos appear on my Mac monitor at home and my PC monitor at work. If this looks too dark on your PC monitor, know that it wasn't intention on my part!

Beautiful. I'm finding good sleep hard to find too. Must be the change in seasons.

Good Lord this looks REALLY NICE. The Autumn color is just amazing. Where is this place? Your tag says Mt. Hood Forest. I thought I knew that area pretty good...maybe not!!!

Nice. FYI your photos appear dark on PC monitors b/c the Windows OS has a default gamma of 2.2, whereas Macs have a default gamma of 1.8 (but that's finally changed with 10.6, Snow Leopard, where they've adopted the 2.2 gamma standard). This basically means your Mac darkens shadows less (equivalent to 'brightens shadows'). Hence, when you're editing your photo, you may end up darkening shadows more or adding more contrast than you might otherwise have done editing on a PC (which already darkens shadows & adds contrast due to the 2.2 gamma standard). In fact, in an extreme case, you may have brightened shadows while editing the image on the PC (b/c they're so dark) whereas you didn't bother brightening the shadows of the same image when editing on the Mac b/c, again, Macs already brighten shadows more than PCs.

The solution: calibrate your monitor on your Mac. When calibrating, make sure you select 'gamma 2.2' (not 1.8, and not 'native gamma') in the software.

That should give you some more consistency between what you see on your Mac & what others see on their PCs. Though, with web images, you're never going to get 100% color accuracy (until everyone owns a Mac or a color-managed web browser AND calibrates their monitor).

Cheers,
Rishi

Cliff, the trailhead for the Dog River Trail is along Highway 35, north of Routson County Park and south of Toll Bridge Park. There are some small signs pointing it out, but it can definitely sneak up on you.

Where is Dog River Trail? I see that it's in the Mt Hood National Forest but I've never heard of it. Gorgeous shot of the wooden bridge and the yellow leaves just blows me away. We had a sensational fall this year....the trees were the most colorful that i've seen in years. Don't think I'd want to hike around mountain bikers.....the bicyclists here in Vancouver scare me by approaching from behind w/out warning.

Oooh....thank you......you just answered my question. Not sure I know where you mean....I'll have to google and see.
