A Soaked Portland

"The sun had set and the rain did not halt for a moment, however, Portland proved to be a fantastic photo opportunity." Photojournalist, Saidia Zaloski expands, "We criss-crossed streets, admiring local graffiti and merchants while we aimed to capture the district's renowned vibe."

Luckily, I was not the driver.

Max led me up and down streets, where I would take photos through a rain-soaked windshield that gifted me the blur you see in these photos.

If you are looking to capture the same, shoot in a Shutter Priority (S or TV) and be very still! I rested the camera on the dash and held it down to secure it.

It was unfortunate we didn’t spend more time in Portlandia, but we will return! It was a nice treat for creative photography.
