Finding Portland was produced, shot, and edited in 51 days during March and April at the invitation of TEDx Portland, where the video was unveiled to a sell out crowd of 650 and met with a standing ovation. Filmed in Portland and the Columbia Gorge, this time-lapse piece offers a new perspective to the City of Roses. From a Portland Timbers season opening soccer game, to the top of the Fremont Bridge, to an aerial shot of Oneonta Gorge, Finding Portland tells the story of a city and its many faces.
Comprised of 308, 829 photographs taken from over 50 unique locations, it took an average of 3.8 hours to make each second of this film. The intent of the project was to place our cameras in unique locations across the city, achieve significant ranges of dynamic camera motion, and pursue cutting edge time-lapse techniques.

note: Three mountains in the Cascade Range are visible from Portland: Mt. Hood, Mt Adams, and Mt. St. Helens.
elevations:
Hood- 11, 250 ft.
Adams- 12, 280 ft
St Helens- 8366 ft. (9677 ft prior to 1980 eruption)
By contrast, Mt. Rainier, also in the Cascade Range and visible from Seattle, is 14,411 ft.
What a wonderful coincidence, as I’ve just returned from Portland (also much of the western U.S.) and also have up posts about some of the treasures there.
Oh my! What a small world. I grew up in Portland, and even if I never return there to live, it will forever be part of my heart.
I am going to visit your post with pleasure. Sometimes, well, there are no coincidences!
Thank you for stopping by. Portland is a beautiful city.
Incredibly nice; https://picasaweb.google.com/RCalvo8/RandomPictures#5760581012523710546
Absolutely gorgeous. I really enjoyed that, thank you!
PS We walk the creeks around here, looking for arrowheads and manipulated rocks. Lots of fun.
Glad to hear it, we were walking beaches at Pymantuning Lake this week, since it’s so low hoping new artifacts have washed up.
Very cool CS.
Thank you for stopping by!
Fantastic!
Thank you, CS, for such beautiful visual delight.
Recommended to the pleasure and astonishment of everyone …

I did a little walking photo shoot of old town Portland and published it here:

Portland oozes funky charm.
Thank you so much for watching and recommending, DW. I really appreciate this!
Stunning and gorgeous. Felt as is I was there, again. I see this in your comment thread at your published photos, and I absolutely agree:
Thank you, Kurt, your photographs are beyond outstanding. Indeed, “magnificent”, comes readily to mind.
Again, I am moved to recommend a “comment” and what is “contained” within it, to the aesthetic sensibilities of everyone at FDL.
You and CS have convinced me that I should very much like to visit Portland … and everything I have heard said about that city suggests it would be a truly wonderful place to live.

I like your video find!
OT– Mother Nature’s Latest Joke!
Thanks, I loved this. Yeah, it’s a Portland day, Ruth has a couple of Portland-related posts up also, and you with Cameron- I guess the planets lined up or something!
Thanks for the read/watch.
“”We believe nuclear energy provides clean, reliable power,” the letter said. ”
Wait. Isn’t Hanford a superfund site? Radioactive sludge and the like…

Portland Rawks!
If it was a woman it’s be a 10. Stunning.
I could do without so much rain, but that’s just me
Bingo. I understand the “park” at Hanford will be a ring of grass surrounding the waste storage facility. This has all the marks of a corporate welfare boondoggle in progress to keep the Cold War infrastructure in place and paying its dividends at the lowest cost to the contractors working it. I don’t like the overt precedent of repackaging things as toxic as a nuclear accident site as “national parks” for future unsuspecting young couples to bring their children.
I agree, john!
Lord love a duck. What a mess.
Thanks for posting this, what a wonderful valentine to my adopted city!
Having just returned from a couple of days in Seattle, I would add that while Portland’s mountain views are mostly visible, Mt Rainier (while taller and more impressive) is not so often in view.
Yes, and thnk you for viewing. I forgot that Portland was your home!
