Boiler Bay, Oregon, December 2022

©2022 Gary L. Quay

 

I took a trip to the Oregon Coast for my "Places of Doom" project. I was there to get pictures of a little body of water called Dope Creek, which turned out to be nigh impossible. Boiler Bay almost qualifies as a Place of Doom because of the way it got its name. A ship ran aground and exploded in 1910, and all that remains is the boiler, which can be seen at very low tides. I did manage to photograph Dope Creek at a distance, and got some Lensbaby pictures of the "Devil's Punchbowl", which is on the list of Places of Doom, but the feature - a sea cave where the roof fell in - is not very picturesque. I hoped that the Lansbaby Edge 35 would bring it to life.

 

I'm mostly happy with the developement of this one, but there was a light leak in the lower left corner, which I cleaned up in Photoshop. I will have to test that film holder.
