I'm heading up to the tulip fields in Woodland on Saturday and probably Sunday morning as well if anyone is interested in joining.

I'm busy both days, but FYI, Woodburn is still green and late so they extended their tulip festival until May 3.

They are behind in color but this weekend looks like it will be prime conditions. Here is their latest news: http://www.woodenshoe.com/fieldreport.html

Ned, I might meet you there. Send me a note to discuss timing.

I'll drop you a line, John - but my plan was to actually head up to the fields at Woodland - much closer for me...

I'll be in Portland this weekend. My girlfriend and I are planning on heading up to woodland before looking at some houses in Vancouver. Not sure if i can con her into getting up for a sunrise shoot though......girls and their beauty sleep.

Maybe I'll see you around.

What time do you usually show up Ned? And is there a name for the place? :)

Posted by Ned Fenimore on April 16, 2009 at 10:42 AM

I'll be there right at first light - probably when it is just starting to be light enough to shoot. The fields are not as huge as Oregon's, but the quality is good. I mainly shoot close-ups and small groupings anyway - not so much the full fields. I try to beat the harsh light and the wind that begins to kick up. Here is a link to the fields: http://lewisriver.com/tulipfestival/ I'll be there both mornings.

The fields still have a bit to go before they totally bloom. The display garden is excellent right now. I shot this morning and this evening - very good light both visits. It was nice meeting you, Cliff!
